Threat of 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.
In this way, illegal gambling operations support organized crime and victimize others, rather than
benefit patrons. http://vegasseven.com/2015/08/12/nations-illegal-gambling-problem-means-las-vegas/
