Sticking to it in Regards to Online Casino Case

The BetonSports saga has an important update – three new promoters associated with the company and under arrest and have agreed to work with the prosecution on backing up charges and fleshing out the cases against some of the top level former BetonSports executives. David Carruthers is the most notable of the former executives facing charges related to operating an illegal online caisno gambling operation for the U.S. market along with money laundering and a litany of related charges. Carruthers was arrested prior to the government’s passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) but the UIGEA and the intense focus on illegal online casinos and internet gambling activity has certainly not helped Carruthers’ case.

BetonSports was one of the largest online casino sportsbetting companies operating for the U.S. market and the arrest of Carruthers and the company’s founder, Gary Kaplan effectively ended BetonSports’ operations and rocked the internet sportsbetting industry. Many of those recently arrested in the case are agreeing to plead guilty to promotion-related charges in exchange for dropping the case if the individuals also provide information that helps the prosecution in their cases against Carruthers, Kaplan, and other top executives in the company.

The three arrested in the case that pled guilty to the promotion charges are all Florida residents and all assisted BetonSports with marketing and promotion opporuntunities in the U.S. online casino sportsbetting market.

Interestingly, even with the several individuals agreeing to testify against Kaplan and Carruthers in the case, Kaplan is still apparently upholding his same defense plan and not-guilty plea.
