The sportsbook that was allegedly involved in illegal wagering have released a statement a few days ago:
An update from ****** themselves:
Global online sportsbook ****** wishes to make it clear that recent press reports linking its name to a Wei Seng Phua (or Phua Wei Seng) who was arrested in the US for illegal online sports betting on the 2014 FIFA World Cup conducted out of a Las Vegas casino base are entirely without foundation.
Neither the accused nor those arrested with him have any involvement or association with the ownership or management of ******, or with its operators, Celton Manx Limited and Richwell Ventures Limited.
Additionally ****** wishes to clarify that the US is one of more than 30 jurisdictions worldwide from which it does not accept bets from and that any alledged wagers placed via ******.com by the accused could only have been made illegally, as press reports confirm.
