The U.S. is continuing it’s aggressive assault on gambling. This time going after a unique betting shop.
In the latest case, U.S. prosecutors said that starting in 2005 Carmen Cicalese headed the operation out of Costa Rica, charging several hundred U.S. bookies weekly fees of $15 to $30 for each gambler they registered.
So they charge a fee per user (like Microsoft) and then run the call center and tracking from Costa Rica. This should be interesting to see if this stands. You could argue that the Costa Rica operation is nothing more than an ASP. Not sure how they are going to go after the main guy. If they do this does not bode well for sites that provide any type of information storage that is gambling related.
