I have read that Steve Wynn is looking to get back into the Las Vegas market now that all his sexual misconduct cases have been dismissed.

Boy it would be interesting to see if Wynn and Betcris could work together to bring them into the US market.

This is hysterically funny shit:

Betcris is not licensed in the U.S., and according to CEO JD Duarte, has not taken bets from anyone in the U.S. since 2007, after a federal law was put in place targeting the monetary transactions involving online gambling.

Still, U.S. authorities have eyed Betcris in multiple past gambling investigations. In 2013, prosecutors for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Northern District of New York alleged that Betcris was among a network of offshore sportsbooks used by an illegal bookmaking operation based in Florida. The case led to four convictions, three on money laundering charges and one on gambling charges.

Duarte denied that his company was involved in the bookmaking operation. He maintains that the company does not accept bets from the U.S. and is not involved with any other operators that do.

"There is no shot [that U.S.-based bettors are playing on Betcris]," Duarte told ESPN on Friday. "I have a compliance team, risk and fraud team, and we do not let anyone play from the U.S."

I think he said exactly what his lawyers told him to say.
No doubt. But even a little investigation blows it out of the water. Look, I hope CRIS, and Every Offshore is able to legally take bets from the US. But lying about the past probably doesn't hasten that happening.

Vaccaro, Gaughan, kornegay, the italian guy from ballys in 1995, all great ambassadors, but only stevens the last 30yrs. I think of costa rica and its all nobody who were good ambassadors.

If they do get caught in this lie, they can quickly point the finger at Pinnacle and yell "well they are doing it too".

It would be a very interesting world if BetCris, Pinnacle, Grande, Matchbook were all in the US market along with expanding to other markets in the world.

This would be like wishing for flying cars though. Probably not going to happen in our lifetimes.
