As the result of a long-running investigation that dates back to at least 2006, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland unsealed on February 27 a two-count indictment against Bodog Entertainment Group and four Canadian individuals for allegedly (1) conducting an online sports betting business in violation of the Illegal Gambling Business Act and (2) engaging in a money laundering conspiracy since 2005. According to the indictment, the defendants moved money from accounts in Switzerland, England, Malta, and Canada to accounts in the United States in order to pay advertising firms. The indictment also alleges that the defendants paid $42 million to an unidentified “media reseller” in the United States between 2005 and 2008 in order to promote Bodog.
