hmmm
That may be true but what about these statments in the news report?:
Quote:
connection with a billion-dollar-a-year gambling Web site
Quote:
Ryan said the case is “one of the first times that a Web designer corporation and the companies that maintain the Web sites have been charged.”
Quote:
Ryan said arrests had been made in four states, and “we have initiated a $500million asset forfeiture case,” one of the largest in state history.
The charges come after a two-year international investigation that focused on Internet gambling.
Seems like a little more then a couple of guys forwarding bets to Vegas. Vegas isnt even mentioned it does say:
Quote:
Criminal charges have been brought against more than two dozen individuals and corporations in four states. One of the corporations is an offshore Internet company with an American counterpart
I already see whats coming “Ah yeah, but thats sportsbetting, not casinos” and I agree. But I still dont think this type of news is good or makes our players who read it confident in playing online. :crazy:
