Reimbursing Gamblers

Online casino gamblers in the United States are undoubtedly quite surprised this week as the US government has announced that it is releasing some of the forfeited funds that have become available in the BetOnSports ongoing debacle. BetOnSports has made headlines over the past several years as the US continues to wage war on the online casinos and internet gambling sites that operated in the US market prior to the UIGEA. The case has really not gone very far, and certainly not quickly, but Gary Kaplan pled guilty to his charges this year and agreed to forfeit $43.65 million in funds.

Online casino gamblers deserving a piece of those funds and with an actual legal claim can petition a Missouri Federal court for a part of the payout. Only this year has the Federal government made any progress with the BetOnSports case and money laundering, fraud, and a host of other charges have faced the founders and operators of this business. The company was based out of Costa Rica and the court now released information that those at the top were all mainly a part of the Kaplan family.

David Carruthers is still awaiting a trial in the case because he has pled not-guilty. Kaplan will face sentencing in October but it will likely be fairly light considering he has already served under house-arrest and pled guilty to the criminal charges and paid out the millions in funds. The online casino gamblers are encouraged to contact the courts if they sincerely have a valid claim to some of the money forfeited in the case.
