The complaint

Tamaris (Gibraltar) Limited and Zamia LLP v. CasinoMobule, No. 1:26-cv-03697, is a complaint filed November 6, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division. Tamaris is a Gibraltar limited company that the complaint says operates as Pragmatic Play, a developer and supplier of mobile and desktop casino games. Zamia is a Gibraltar limited liability partnership that the complaint says develops online slot-style games exclusively for Pragmatic Play. The defendants named in the caption are CasinoMobule, Merab Boterashvili, Christian Bouchard, Bakhtiyar Serikovich Elik, Mikail Hartman, Domenica Hyatt, Anton Kushnirenko, Nurdin Mambetov, Rebel Rebel, Mihail Savinov, Dmitriy Semenov, Ruslan Shahsinov, Sergei Silin, Rollin Strosin, Vyacheslav Wolkov, Euro Tech, Inc., and John Does 1-8. The complaint describes CasinoMobule as an entity of unknown location or corporate structure that provides games and API game launchers for the accused sites, and it identifies a hub domain at casinomobule.com. It says Euro Tech, Inc. appears to be a legal entity registered in Latvia, with a business address in Riga, and it describes a defendant identified as Rebel Rebel as an entity of unknown provenance that the complaint suggests is an alias for an individual. It describes the defendants as owners, operators, financers, or others associated with the sites, and it says the plaintiffs have not been able to verify the true identity of any defendants. The case was initially assigned on November 7, 2026, to District Judge Rossie D. Alston, Jr. and Magistrate Judge William B. Porter, and was reassigned on November 9, 2026, to District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles.

The marks and works

The complaint asserts rights in the PRAGMATIC PLAY word and composite marks and in numerous game marks, and it says the plaintiffs are the authors and owners of images, graphics, sound recordings, and software code associated with their games ("Plaintiffs' Works"). United States Patent and Trademark Office records list U.S. Registration Nos. 6,848,492 and 6,890,979 for PRAGMATIC PLAY as live registrations owned by Tamaris (Gibraltar) Limited for entertainment services, namely, providing games of chance via the Internet, in International Class 41, registered September 13, 2022, and November 1, 2022. They also list Registration Nos. 7,307,616 and 7,330,411 for PRAGMATIC PLAY as live registrations owned by Tamaris for downloadable software for playing casino, slot, mobile, lottery, online wagering, and online electronic games, in International Class 9, registered February 20, 2024, and March 19, 2024. Among the game-title registrations identified in the complaint, USPTO records show live registrations owned by Tamaris or Zamia, including SWEET BONANZA, GATES OF OLYMPUS, THE DOG HOUSE, and Zamia's BIG BASS BONANZA, BIGGER BASS BONANZA, and FLOATING DRAGON HOLD & SPIN marks. The complaint also lists pending U.S. applications and common law game marks, including two WILD WILD RICHES applications, Serial Nos. 97,432,389 and 97,476,687, that USPTO records list as live and owned by Tamaris. It alleges that the works are non-U.S. works first published outside the United States and are exempt from the copyright registration requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 411.

The alleged CasinoMobule network

The complaint alleges that the defendants operate a large network of domain names, listed in Exhibits A1 and A2, that make unauthorized use of the PRAGMATIC PLAY marks, the plaintiffs' game marks, and the plaintiffs' works to replicate the look and feel of the plaintiffs' games. It alleges that the accused sites copy images, sound recordings, and software code, including portions of code identical to the code for the authentic games, and that they launch the games through unaffiliated game launch URLs, including partners.casinomobule.com and other hostnames on domains such as casinomobule.com, fiverscan.net, gspragmaticplay.xyz, pragmaticplaygs.xyz, and agsoftgames.com. It alleges, on information and belief, that the infringing games are used by players around the world, including in the United States and in the Eastern District of Virginia, and it says an investigator for the plaintiffs accessed accused sites from a computer in the District before the complaint was filed. It also alleges, on information and belief, that the sites do not have licenses for the games, have no customer support, and have URLs that are frequently blocked. It alleges that CasinoMobule operates mirror sites so users can continue with the same login details after a URL is shut down. Screenshots in the complaint are offered as examples of consumer-facing sites launching games including Big Bass Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza, Joker's Jewels, and Starlight Princess.

Counts and relief

The complaint pleads three counts against the defendants: trademark counterfeiting under Sections 32 and 34 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1114 and 1116(d)(1); trademark infringement under Section 32(1) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1114; and copyright infringement under Sections 106 and 501 of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 106 and 501. The counterfeiting count alleges willful use of spurious designations identical with, or substantially indistinguishable from, the asserted marks on fraudulent websites, and it seeks statutory damages of up to $2,000,000 per mark under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(c)(2), or, alternatively, disgorgement of profits, treble damages, prejudgment interest, attorney's fees, and costs. The infringement count seeks injunctive relief, actual damages, disgorgement of profits, prejudgment interest, costs, and attorney fees. The copyright count alleges willful copying, distribution, alteration, and display of the plaintiffs' works through the accused sites, and it seeks injunctive relief under 17 U.S.C. § 502(a), actual damages and profits under § 504(b), costs and attorney's fees under § 505, and prejudgment interest. The prayer asks for judgment on all three claims, statutory damages under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(c) and/or 17 U.S.C. § 504(c) or, alternatively, actual damages trebled on the counterfeiting claim, an accounting and disgorgement of profits, a permanent injunction against copying the works or using the marks, including on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Telegram, Viber, and WhatsApp, an order that service providers including hosts, registrars, registries, content delivery networks, certificate providers, payment providers, and email providers cease facilitating access, an order that registries and registrars place the accused sites and listed game launch URLs on registryHold or serverHold so they do not resolve, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a) and 17 U.S.C. § 505, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and other relief.
