King’s Resort filed the action in the Czech Republic’s Pilsen Regional Court in the first week of April. “Please note that this is a scam, we have nothing to do with this advertisement!” Tsoukernik’s casino files action in Czech court
“You may have come across a sponsored link with a photo of the Rozvadov King’s entrance, enticing you to play an online casino game,” warned the Rozvadov, Czech Republic casino. King’s Resort warned its own Facebook readers of the fake site four weeks ago, via both its Facebook account and its own online home. KIng’s Resort, the home of WSOP Europe, claims it’s being victimized by an online gambling site that’s stolen its name and likeness. The lawsuit alleges that Facebook has knowingly profited from the fraudulent ads, and has even promoted the fake “King’s Casino” online site - with the ads making full use of images of the real King’s Resort - via sponsored ads within Facebook’s own app for smartphones. Leon Tsoukernik’s King’s Resort, home of the World Series of Poker Europe, has announced that it’s suing Facebook for more than $23 million over the social media giant’s acceptance and promotion of a fraudulent online casino making use of King’s name and images.
