Online Casino CEO Thumbs US Gambling Crackdown |
| The online casino industry has had its fair share of disasters this summer. First David Carruthers, CEO of Bet on Sports online casino was arrested in the United States. The arrest of Peter Dicks, chairman of Sporting Bet, soon after, put pay to the theory that Carruthers’ arrest was just a one-off. The latest arrests, across the ocean, stunned the online casino community, when two staff-members of an Austrian gambling company were detained in Austria. Instead of bowing to the pressure and following the lead of several online casino companies who have reduced their activity in the United States, the new CEO of Sporting Bet online casino announced that his company was dedicated, more than ever, to investing in the United States online casino market. Andrew McIver is a prominent figure in the internet gambling world and is considered a global expert on the subject. His words have injected a renewed feeling of confidence in an industry that is presently down on its heels. The future of the online casino industry in the United States is still unclear. The Senate is due to debate the passing of a special bill that could possibly make online casino gambling illegal in America. Until then, the market is reacting jitterishly, with many companies preferring to keep a low profile until the law is clarified. |
