The eight men arrested by the Internal Revenue Service investigators operated as agents for an online betting website based in Costa Rica. US District Attorney Kevin Ryan said the men collected wagers in the form of cash and checks from bettors in the United States on behalf of BetTheDuck.com.

The agents, who were paid on a percentage of their players’ losses, were charged with operating an illegal gambling business and conspiracy to launder money.
