Bezüglich BetOnSports scheint es Neuigkeiten zu geben. Das Schliessen der Website war wohl nicht freiwillig, sondern man wurde dazu gerichtlich verurteilt. Au�?erdem muss man 'ne kostenlose Nummer für Amis anbieten, die ihr Geld zurückwollen und sie müssen eine Seite Werbung in einer überregionalen Zeitung schalten, in der sie klarstellen, dass Sportwetten über das Internet illegal sind (ziemlich gemein ♦, aber so sind sie die amerikanischen Richter):
"First, BetonSports has been hit by a temporary restraining order by an American judge. The restraining order directed BetonSports to cease taking bets from Americans, refund all monies in the accounts of Americans to the account holders, to set up a toll-free phone number so Americans can arrange to receive the money in their accounts, and to pay for a full page advertisement in a nationally-circulated newspaper saying that taking sports bets over the internet is illegal.
So far, BetonSports has shut down its website (essentially no longer takes bets from Americans), but has not complied with the other aspects of the temporary restraining order. A message posted on the BetonSports website reads:
"IN LIGHT OF COURT PAPERS FILED IN THE UNITED STATES, THE COMPANY HAS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED THIS FACILITY PENDING ITS ABILITY TO ASSESS ITS FULL POSITION. DURING THIS PERIOD NO FINANCIAL OR WAGERING TRANSACTIONS CAN BE EXECUTED. FURTHER INFORMATION WILL BE POSTED ONCE THE COMPANY IS IN A POSITION TO DO SO.""
