A British court has ordered two men to pay fines and costs for breaking gambling laws as their web site allowed minors to gamble on Premier League Football matches using a virtual currency.
The Guardian reports that FutGalaxy was a “social gaming” website which had no age restrictions and let minors use a credit card to place bets in a virtual currency earned on Electronic Art’s FIFA soccer video game.
The site made the equivalent $120,000 US dollars from July 2015 to February 2016.
His You Tube video enticed gamers to go to the site advertising that there were “no age restrictions.”
FutGalaxy took bets on matches played in the UK, France, Germany and Italy.
