Harsh US Consequences

The United States government is not going easy on the internet gambling and payment processing companies that have chosen to continue operating in the US market despite the UIGEA and the apparent ban on offshore online casinos. There are numerous payment processing companies that are still facilitating access between US gamblers and offshore online casino gambling sites – and it’s these payment companies that are now facing incredibly harsh penalties from the US Department of Justice. A growing issue right now is the situation with Account Services Corp and the company’s CEO Douglas Rennick – both of which are facing scrutiny and investigation from the US Department of Justice.

Over the past nine months the US Department of Justice has really begun to aggressively seek out the payment processing companies supporting US payments to offshore online casinos. Account Services just happens to be one of the half a dozen companies randomly selected for investigation – the company has no stronger links to the internet gambling industry than many of the other US facing payment processing companies, and yet, the US DoJ is strongly prosecuting Rennick and Account Services. Account Services has been specifically linked to the online casino gambling industry and that is a death sentence of sorts for any US facing company.

Rennick and other payment processing companies that have worked with the online casinos and internet poker sites are concerned about the US Federal indictments being applied without discrimination or fairness – it’s seemingly arbitrary. To that end, with the current indictments facing Account Services and Rennick, there are some major offences laid out and the fines and jail time associated with these felony offences mean serious issue for Rennick and the company.
