Despite our story today regarding the US and the WTO it has just emerged more online gaming charges will possibly soon be brought.

Sources in Washington DC, claimed authorities are on the verge of unsealing more indictments against a US-facing betting and gaming operator. However, there is currently no indication as to who it could be.

Responding to a press enquiry, the Dept of Justice denied such new warrants existed. However worryingly in response to the reports, a spokesperson went on to say: 'Nothing would be made public until an individual or company was charged.”

Recent arrests, relating to SportingBet and the Neteller sent shockwaves through online gambling business and caused damage to investor confidence. 

A cynical onlooker could take the view the resignation of Mark Blandford reported by the British business media as a “surprise departure” from the Sportingbet plc board of directors together with fellow director Bob Holt now look suspicious. The statement was uncontroversial "As the company continues to drive further efficiencies from its business we have agreed to reduce the size of the board," said Chief Executive Andrew McIver - a rather non-committal company statement. Both Blandford and Holt will pursue other business interests, the company said.
