#SoftwareLab #BettingLegislation
OnAir Entertainment, one of the successful companies in the sphere of live casino gambling, has been under investigation after the accusations charged against the company by Ivans Ivanovs. This is the former employee who claimed that the company had unlawful access to the internal systems of Playtech for more than 2 years. Due to these shocking charges, the upcoming Diamond Rush Roulette by OnAir Entertainment is currently on hold due to the ongoing investigation.
The violation of Playtech’s confidence lasted for over 2 years according to the statement of the Ivans Ivanovs. He says that Igor Veliks and other individuals from the company took advantage of the unauthorized access to spy on Playtech’s strategy on the market, and its exclusive agreements with operators. This confidential information was beneficial for OnAir Entertainment and might have helped the company to make successful decisions in this highly competitive industry. The whistleblower also claimed that the spying actions continued even after Igor Veliks left the company.
If the investigation proves that those accusations are legit, OnAir Entertainment might face multiple copyright violation issues and the uniqueness of its game titles will be questioned. Ivans Ivanovs has already voiced worries about those aspects and claimed that a thorough revision is required.
WAS TOP MANAGEMENT AWARE?
According to the words of the whistleblower, top management was aware of the violations made by employees. Ivans Ivanovs expressed his dissatisfaction with the behavior of the management that preferred to ignore the facts of unauthorized access to Playtech’s system because of financial gains that OnAir Entertainment could get from those actions. As a result, the work of over 300 company’s employees are endangered.
The dispute became even more intense when Ivanovs revealed that he resigned from the company after he received a cease-and-desist order. There was also a four-month delay in OnAir Entertainment’s legal case on trade secret infringement.
Both OnAir Entertainment and Playtech are conducting investigations to see if the accusations of Ivans Ivanovs are true and whether the serious violation of Playtech’s confidence took place.
