Blazesoft is at the center of a scandal: a class action lawsuit in New York
Blazesoft, known for its Zula Casino, Sportzino and Fortune Coins projects, has been the subject of a class action lawsuit filed in the New York District Court. The plaintiff was a resident of the city, Autumn Boatner, who accused the company of a number of violations and exploitation of players through the so-called "social casinos".
According to Boutner's legal team, Blazesoft's activities are built on a "predatory scheme." The main complaints concern the dual currency system - Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins. In order to withdraw winnings, players must accumulate at least 50 Sweeps Coins and fulfill complex and confusing conditions, which, according to the plaintiffs, is specifically made to complicate the process of receiving money.
Although Blazesoft's rules state that the sites do not offer real money gambling, the plaintiffs claim that through the Gold Coin purchase system, players actually buy Sweeps Coins with real money. This calls into question the official position of the company.
Another point of the lawsuit concerns age restrictions: on all three platforms, it is allowed to play from the age of 18, while according to the laws of the state of New York, you can only participate in gambling from the age of 21.
In addition, the lawsuit alleges that the Fortune Coins, Sportzino and Zula brands are "shell companies" that do not have real offices, employees or infrastructure to operate online casinos. In reality, according to LinkedIn, Blazesoft is based in Concord, Ontario (Canada), and in the United States it is only engaged in promoting its projects.
Notably, in 2023, Blazesoft boasted of "impressive growth" in its press release, claiming to have acquired more than 4 million users in the United States and Canada in just two years. However, the current lawsuit could seriously shake the company's reputation and raise questions from regulators.
JackiiePumpkin Well, the classic is that half of the gray bookmakers have such a scheme. The main thing is that they give money for sponsorship, and then at least the grass does not grow.
GodBJTTA Not exactly "when it wants". The provider releases a game with several RTP versions (e.g. 96%, 94%, 91%). And the casino, when it buys a slot for its site, chooses one of these versions. Therefore, in one casik, the slot can have a return of 96%, and in another – 91%. Always check the information about the slot before playing, this can usually be done by clicking on the "i" or "?" button inside the game itself.
YellowPikmin Yes, I remember the Avengers slot... I caught such drifts there. I still regret that I did not take a screenshot, now you can't prove it.

It is not surprising that they work from Canada. It's easier to pull off something gray without too much attention.
Only now I found out that someone is behind these sites at all... I thought it was just a left-wing startup.
It me off that they write "no real rates", and then you fly in with money for virtual coins.
Hahaha, "fictitious companies" sounds like a cheap series about scammers. But the reality is even worse.
How was it possible to allow registration from the age of 18, if the law requires 21?! I'm shocked.
