Several days ago, live casino specialist OnAir Entertainment was accused of corporate espionage. The company is now seeking to combat these allegations and prove them wrong.
For reference, the allegations stem from Ivans Ivanovs, the company’s former senior product owner. Ivanovs accused OnAir’s game portfolio lead, Igors Veliks, of maintaining user access to Playtech’s internal systems for a whopping two years.
Veliks was a former Playtech Euro Live Technologies employee who failed to relinquish access to the company’s internal systems following his exit.
In his post, Ivanovs accused the company of a severe lack of professionalism, saying that unethical practices are commonplace. According to him, the OnAir leadership was fully aware of what was happening but did nothing to stop it.
However, OnAir Entertainment is bullish on tackling these allegations head-on and clearing its name. In a statement initially provided to NEXT.io, the company pledged to investigate the claims and do something.
The OnAir Entertainment Group is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
