The Arizona Department of Gaming has announced the release of its Responsible Gaming Training initiative, consisting of free, self-paced training in responsible gaming foundations. Training participants will learn the fundamentals of risks associated with gambling, including problem gambling, how problem gambling differs from positive play, and how to connect with others in the context of addressing problem gambling.

“Offering this responsible gaming training is about increasing knowledge, confidence, and skills that make a tremendous difference in improving the conversations and interactions we may encounter day-to-day. I’m excited to share information and resources about responsible gaming that promote a safer, more sustainable gaming environment – and I look forward to briefing community members on how to make this training work for them,” said Jessica Roza, Assistant Director of Government and Community Affairs.

To provide members of the media, stakeholders, and Arizonans the opportunity to become familiar with the newly released training resource, the Department invites all interested individuals to a live, virtual webinar on April 28, 2026, at 10am Arizona Time, hosted by Jessica Roza.

Responsible gaming is about ensuring that individuals who choose to play have the knowledge they need to make informed decisions and enjoy gaming as a form of entertainment. It emphasizes safety and prevention by sharing the risks associated with gambling, encouraging healthy play behaviors, and raising awareness of the treatment resources and support available for gambling disorder, which impacts three to four percent of Arizonans 21 and older. Gambling can take many forms, such as lottery, casino gaming, sports betting, bingo, raffles, office pools, and poker.

The training is organized into three self-paced phases, with optional continued learning quizzes at the end of each phase and a total of about three hours of content (depending on the trainee). Students may pause the training at any point and resume it later.

“For many years, responsible gaming training has served as a cornerstone of education for gaming industry employees, strengthening safety and promoting responsible entertainment across the state. Today, we’re excited to expand that impact by offering an on-demand training designed for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of responsible gaming—including those who may not currently participate in gambling, or work in the industry. This broader approach reflects our commitment to the Arizonans we serve,” Jessica Roza added.

The April 28 virtual briefing will preview the training resource, allow for audience question-and-answer, and conclude with actionable next steps for individuals to further the health and safety of their community.

Following a claim by SPRIBE OÜ, the Court of Justice of Pernambuco (TJPE) has issued an immediate injunction against NSX Brasil S.A. regarding the unauthorized use of the “AVIATOR” brand.

Court Mandate and Enforcement 

The Court granted the request for active effect, ordering NSX Brasil S.A to immediately cease using the “AVIATOR” trademark, as well as any identical or confusingly similar signs, including the reproduction of visual, graphical, or audiovisual elements associated with the Claimant’s product. The Court has imposed daily fines for non-compliance. This measure is will remain in force until further decision or final judgment of the appeal. The Court’s decision noted the plausibility of the legal claim based on SPRIBE’s ownership of the “AVIATOR” trademark, which is registered with the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). This registration grants the owner exclusive use rights throughout the Brazilian territory under the Industrial Property Law.

About Betnacional 

Betnacional is one of the most prominent sports betting brands in the Brazilian market. It is operated by NSX Brasil S.A., which recently became a core part of the global gaming giant Flutter Entertainment Plc, following Flutter’s acquisition of a majority stake in the NSX Group. Worth to note, that Betnacional had been an authorized licensee of SPRIBE since 2022. While SPRIBE is deeply loyal to its clients and values long-term professional relationships, the company stated that it cannot tolerate violation of its intellectual property. The legal dispute arose after Betnacional featured a game under the “Aviator” name, offered by “Aviator Studio” since 2025. According to SPRIBE OÜ’s allegations, this version is an unauthorized reproduction of their popular crash game, AVIATOR, which was developed by SPRIBE in late 2018 and has been established in the global entertainment market.

Global Stance on IP Protection

This interim decision in Brazil marks a significant milestone in SPRIBE’s worldwide strategy to safeguard its assets. The company is actively monitoring markets across all continents and will continue to enforce its trademark and copyright protections in every jurisdiction. SPRIBE remains committed to taking all necessary legal actions against infringer to protect the integrity of the original “AVIATOR” experience and ensure a fair, transparent environment for its global player base.
