Top executives of digital gambling companies should no longer set foot on American soil. Last Thursday, US police officers again handcuffed someone on suspicion of enabling online gambling. After David Carruthers of BETonSPORTS was arrested in Dallas earlier this summer, Sportingbets’ Peter Dicks has now been allowed to spend a night behind bars contemplating his sins. The man was arrested immediately after arriving at the New York airport. Both Britons are doing good business in the United States. Carruthers is accused of raking in $3.7 billion in US bets with his company BETonSPORTS. He has been placed under house arrest in St. Louis while Dicks is still awaiting extradition to Louisiana. It is illegal in the United States to gamble outside of one’s own state via a telephone line. In its fight against digital gambling, the US government also passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act 2005 in July, which prohibits banks from debiting gambling payments for online gambling activities.
