In a recent report, Chinese authorities have revealed a major bust to combat fraudulent online gambling in Cambodia. The investigation which first began about a year ago, came to its conclusion with 218 suspects being detained for scamming more than 1,000 customers out of a total of RMB140 million, or US$21.5 million. Extortion Scams with Online Casinos According to the information released by the authorities, the scammers would run online casino scams out of hotel rooms while the servers were being hosted in Poipet. They would then use the name of reputable brands in the gambling city of Macau to attract customers by text message presenting a combination of live dealer and digital casino games for real money. Some of the used names include the Venetian Macao, Galaxy and Grand Lisboa. At first, new customers would win a bit and they could easily withdraw the funds, while also receiving incentives to deposit more and thus continue playing. After a big deposit, the rigged games would make sure that the player losses right away and the site stopped all communications with the client. The mix of a known trademark and the green light on the first small withdrawal made the casinos appear reliable and more than one thousand players fell into their trap. The investigation which started in March 2015 focused on dozens of citizens from China and several Cambodians who the authorities were looking for, while the major bust covered 18 provinces across Mainland China. Avoiding Fraudulent Websites It is very important for customers nowadays to pay attention to the websites at which they make real money deposits and play gambling games. Every online casino must have a verified license and a good reputation before a player should consider joining. These elements can be easily verified on professional sites and can help users save a lot of money and heartache.

The tennis world was rocked during the second round of the Miami Open, with some of its biggest stars opting out of play. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal both forfeited their second round matches due to illness, while Stan Wawrinka and Juan Martin del Potro lost what should have been easy wins. Federer did not even play, falling ill to what he said was a stomach bug, while Nadal retired during the third set of his match with Damir Dzumhur, with what appeared to be heat exhaustion. The field is now wide open for Murray to make the finals, even though he is not playing the best tennis of his life. His first two matches were not as easy as he would have liked, but the UK tennis star is not giving up and faces Gigor Dimitrov tonight. This match could very well result in yet another upset of a top-ranked ATP player, but Murray is confident he will breeze past Dimitrov. Even if Murray gets past Dimitrov, other stars like Milos Raonic, Kei Nishikori and Nick Kyrgios could be in his path in later rounds. Murray must start playing much better tennis. Only two weeks ago he was ousted of the Indian Wells by Federico Delbonis. Murray served only 52 percent in the opening rounds in Miami and made 24 unforced errors. Grigor Dimitrov is ranked 28th in the ATP's official rankings, but will need to play a solid match if he is to beat Murray. He has beaten him before though, in 2014 the Bulgarian was ranked No. 8 and beat Murray at Wimbledon. Miami Masters Online Betting Bet365 Sports is offering incredible odds for tonight's match, with Murray out in front at 1.20 for the outright win. Dimitrov is at 4.33, which could be a great bet to take for punters looking to maximize profits. Bet365 is, as always, offering their live in play bets throughout the match.

Amaya stocks took a heavy hit when David Baazov was charged with insider trading earlier this month. The CEO and chairman decided to take an indefinite, paid leave of absence to prepare an official response and defend himself against these allegations. The situation is very serious for the young entrepreneur, who faces five charges, all of them vigorously denied by him. The Right Thing to Do Baazov claimed that all these allegations are unfounded and stated that he is confident that the court will find him innocent of all the charges. Meanwhile, he expressed his commitment to doing the right thing, which is to protect the interests of Amaya and its stakeholders. The decision to temporarily step down is supposed to reflect this attitude, but he plans to resume his activity immediately after proving his innocence. David Baazov still plans to acquire the company, after announcing his intention in early February. He was willing to pay $21 per share in cash at the moment and his announcement caused the stock to rise to as much as $21. In the wake of his indictment, the shares fell back to less than $15 and are unlikely to regain the losses in the near future. AMF Spearheads the Offensive Against Baazov The Autorite des marches financiers accused the CEO and chairman of Amaya and 13 other people of insider trading. Allegedly, all of them used the privileged access to information to make almost $1.5 million from stock trades. With Baazov out of the picture, Divyesh Gadhia will assume the role of chairman, after acting as a director for more than five years. He is in charge of contacting companies that might be interested in the acquisition of Amaya. Mr. Baazov’s offer is still on the table, but the special committee will consider the offers made by third parties as well.
