Dark Side of Gambling Addiction
Online casinos gambling is not the dark sinister industry that many opponents
argue as a case for banning the industry, but it is a fact that gambling
addictions have a darker side that sometimes plague the internet gambling
industries. The 888.com gambling company has been asked to provide account
details and information to U.S. prosecutors involved in building a case to
convict one of the online casinos account holders of two counts of first degree
murder. The case involves Neil Entwistle, a gambler who is accused of murdering
his wife and baby daughter as an escape from his mounting debt and gambling
addictions.
But at this point the motives for Entwistle are still speculation and the
prosecution has requested specific account information from the online casinos
gambling site that Entwistle used in the month leading to his wife and baby’s
murder. Entwistle gambled on the CasinoOnNet.com gambling site which is run
through the 888.com online casino gambling group. 888 is licensed and based out
of Gibraltar, and the prosecutors sent the company a seven page document
requesting Entwistle’s account information to help build the motive for the
murder case. Prosecutor Fabbri wrote in the document sent to the 888 online
casinos gambling group, "The prosecutor needs records relating to this account
to help establish that Entwistle had financial difficulties and that these
difficulties affected his state of mind and provided him with a motive to commit
murder.”
The prosecution claims that Entwistle was involved in several shady operations –
questionable online business scams, mounting debt (possibly from the online
casinos gambling addiction), as well as sex and other scandals. There is every
reason to assume that the 888 gambling group will comply with the prosecutor’s
legal request for the player’s account information. |
