Waiting on Online Casinos Charges

United States policy concerning online casinos gambling is still in the middle of a national debate and many members of Congress have expressed serious concern about the current U.S. policy. And at the same time as this ongoing debate and questioning, there are individuals affected by the U.S. Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) waiting on house arrest and in jail for trials. Gary Kaplan remains to this day in jail for a list of charges, many of which concern Kaplan’s involvement in U.S. online casinos gambling. Kaplan founded the BetonSports plc company which accepted internet gambling wagers and similar activities from U.S. players both prior to, and after the implementation of the UGIEA.

Kaplan is one of the most prominent individuals affected by the U.S. online casinos gambling policy. Although other members of the BetonSports await trail for the gambling, money laundering, similar charges, Kaplan is held in jail without bail because he is considered a serious flight risk. The former CEO of the online casinos betting company, David Carruthers, is currently on house arrest. The government has other individuals also awaiting a trial on the federal charges from other online gambling related companies.

A new update on Kaplan comes in the form of yet another request for bail, and once again the federal judge in the case ruled that Kaplan was a flight risk. Judge Jackson commented on the bail request, "There is no condition or combination of conditions of release that would reasonably assure the defendant's appearance." And as for the online casinos gambling and other charges that Kaplan faces, the federal authorities may very well heed the advice of the Judge Jackson, and his recommendation that the authorities drop the charges related to tax evasion ad obstruction.
