Could the Rx Be A Target of the Feds?

Coast2Coast · Jul 19, 2006

Are the owners of the Rx concerned that the Rx may be a target of the Feds? The Feds filed charges against Sporting News for accepting gambling-related advertising and SN settled with the Feds this week for $7.5 mil. Bolstered by this "success" will the Feds continue on this strategy of going after media companies accepting ads? As the largest forum for offshore players and as a business that accepts advertising from offshore books, is the Rx concerned it may be a future target of Fed action to restrain advertising of "illegal" (the Feds' words, not mine) businesses?

BOS was not based in the US. The owners aren't even US citizens. Yes I would be concerned if I was owner of the Rx.

kksuited · Jul 19, 2006

yeah, considering BOS is a foreign company, I'm not sure how being based in canada means anything.

maybe at the top of the page they should have this :

" For Recreational Purposes Only "

Yeah that covers them. Lets just hope they never profited from an American clicking on a banner:think2:

The sites that work off of "referals" are more likely to face any consequences than sites that charge a standard advertising fee, but I doubt anyone has anything to worry about.

I am hearing reports from a contact in Washington that more arrests are forthcoming. This is just the tip of the iceburg.

I would be surprised, I think that they are only looking for a precedent here.

I hope you are right. Quite a buzz in Washington about this

Sugarbear · Jul 19, 2006

No the Rx should not worry. The most the states can do is issue an order for them to stop transmitting or a useless restrainig order. As for more arrest I doubt anyone they are really looking for is around anymore or will be leaving shortly.

They will go after advestisers who are not in the know and crimilmalize them.

ClipJoint · Jul 19, 2006

That is how the US can put a hurting on the offshore world and that is where they will attack. They will prosecute advertising outlets that are receiving money from these offshore sportsbooks.
