Court blocks Papaya Gaming U.S. account transfers in Skillz case

A U.S. Bankruptcy Court blocked Papaya Gaming Ltd. from transferring funds from its U.S. accounts, citing concerns over CEO credibility and undisclosed transfers. The ruling follows a $719 million judgment against Papaya for false advertising, owed to Skillz, a subsidiary of FIRY. Papaya's U.S. revenue accounts for 85-97% of its total. A creditor vote on repayment is scheduled for November 8, 2026.
