Skillz CEO says company isn’t done fighting bots in mobile gaming


Skillz CEO Andrew Paradise says the company, which settled with Avia for $80 million, continues to battle the use of bots in mobile gaming.

Paradise highlighted AviaGames’s use of deceptive language to disguise the presence of bots, referring to them as “cucumbers” and “guides” in evidence submitted to the court. Skillz has also filed suit against Papaya Gaming for its alleged usage of bots to defraud players, and Paradise says the company is fighting “the outright theft of billions of hard-earned dollars.” Paradise noted that the company is hopeful that their litigation will spur government entities to take action to protect consumers.
