Blazesoft is at the centre 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 fulfil 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.
