Punt Club considering legal action against Sportsbet over its ‘Bet With Mates’ platform
Australian owned, Adelaide based start-up, Punt Club is again considering legal action against betting firm Sportsbet, over its Bet With Your Mates platform.
The two companies have previously settled a case out of court, but this time PuntClub.com is considering its options against the foreign owned betting company, over its recent advertising campaign centred around the slogan ‘Bet With Mates’, which closely mirrors its own ‘Bet With Your Mates’ platform, which has been used since the launch of Punt Club’s app in 2015.
“I thought corporate behaviour had come a long way in the last few years, but here we are again with the same foreign-owned behemoth ignoring intellectual property rights purely because they’re bigger and they think we can’t afford to fight it,” said Punt Club founder Jason Neave.
