Update - New York Dismisses Warrant for Sportingbet Officer

Reuters is reporting that the arrest warrant for Peter Dicks that I reported on earlier, former chairman of Sportingbet, has been dismissed by a judge. The warrant was based on a “gambling by computer” charge filed in Louisiana.

It is hard to say of this is a break in the attacks on Internet gambling, or just a conflict between two states. The report mentions that New York State Governor George Pataki refused to sign the extradition order to send Dicks to Louisiana to face the charges against him. I don’t follow East Coast politics closely enough to read between the lines, but I would not be surprised if there is as much politics going on here as there is legal wrangling over online gaming.
