Linked to the Mob

Joseph Fafone has made headlines throughout the online casino gambling industry this week with the claims that Fafone, and his entire internet betting business in fact, are linked to the “mob.” BetOnLine has operated in the US internet betting market for some time now, the company previously operated as Best Line Sports but made the move out of the US as a base and established licensing and regulations in Panama. Just this month though, Joseph Fafone was arrested while trying to fly out of Rochester, New York and the charges are unclear at this point. Fafone has many close ties to the NY bookmaking industry and is well-regarded by associates in the land and online casino betting industry.

According to Fafone, he moved his business, BetOnLine to Costa Rica, and later Panama, in an attempt to comply with US regulations that ban online casinos and internet gambling companies from processing transactions with US players. Fafone notes that the police were regularly busting in his door when he lived and operated out of the states. The latest situation links Fafone with the crime families in New York though even though there seems to be no clear indication why the link has been spread throughout the online casino gambling industry media.

It is rumored that Fafone was arrested paying a large sum of money to a client at a hotel in New York, but that has not been officially confirmed as the reason for Fafone’s arrest. At this point, Fafone and his close friends who have been interviewed are refuting the claims that Fafone and his online casino betting business are linked to the mob.
