Online casinos: Authorities of Californian County raid internet cafes

Internet cafes across California have come under the scanner from both the local as well as the federal officials.

Sheriff Office at the San Bernardino County was able to seize more than 200 electronic gambling machines from different internet cafés. It is believed that these cafes have come under major scrutiny for becoming illegal gambling locations.

As a part of the seizure at San Bernardino, the Sheriff also found a lot of money, which is believed to have been a part of the gambling scheme.

One of the reasons why these cafes have come under the scanner is because individuals, who are having access to internet at their home, are also spending time at the internet cafes for long hours.

Recently, the authorities at the county have found out that these cafes are not what they actually seem. In disguise of being internet café, they are operating internet casinos.

Four different locations were raided across the county. The authorities are yet to confirm, if more raids were likely in the future or not.

According to the authorities, the most general gimmick at these cafes is to use ‘promotional sweepstakes’ as a disguise. With these offers, players are provided with the credits for gambling away. Lucky players have a scope of earning up to USD 4,000.
