Quoted in: Illegal Gambling Businesses - There have been numerous documented cases in which providers of illegal sports betting, black market machines, Internet sweepstakes cafés and illegal online betting have cheated customers on payouts and cheated the United States government by not paying taxes on profits. Furthermore, these profits have been found to support organized crime activity, such as money laundering and loan-sharking.  - See more at Vegasseven at:http://vegasseven.com/2015/08/12/nations-illegal-gambling-problem-means-las-vegas/
