Aviator accused the gambling conglomerate of violating its copyright and trademark.

Flutter and Georgian business Aviator LLC have reportedly agreed to a €330 million settlement to resolve charges that Flutter violated the latter’s copyright and trademarks with its Aviator crash game. Aviator will also supply games to the Irish gaming giant. 

Aviator LLC sued Flutter and Spribe, the developers of the famous Aviator game, in Georgia’s Court of First Instance last year. It requested recompense for damages, claiming that the crash game used a trademarked image.

Flutter and Spribe denied the allegations, claiming that the case lacked merit and that Spribe had global rights to the game’s intellectual property.

However, in September, the Georgian court ordered the corporations to pay €300 million in damages.

It appeared that Flutter would file an appeal against the ruling, but Aviator’s lawyer, Nikoloz Gogilidze, has now made a statement stating that Aviator has signed a long-term agreement to deliver Aviator-branded games to Flutter.

“As part of the deal both parties have agreed to settle their outstanding legal dispute,” according to him.

Interestingly, Aviator is controlled by Teimuraz Ugulava, the previous owner of Adjarabet, which Flutter purchased for €330 million in 2019.

It looks that Aviator LLC is currently pursuing legal action against Spribe, which removed their Aviator crash game from the Georgian market in January 2024.
