Online gambling arrest fears fuelled by resignation

Fears that more senior executives working for online gambling firms could be arrested were fuelled today following the resignation of a lawyer who served under former US President George W. Bush from the roles of chairman and chief executive of World Gaming.

Almost all of the internet betting firm’s business comes from the US, and the resignation of James Grossman, along with fellow non-executive director Clare Roberts, comes at a crucial time for the industry reports the Financial Times.
