Dicks is the second manager of a British gambling company to be held amid a clampdown on online gambling after David Carruthers, then chief executive officer of Betonsports was arrested and charged with crimes including racketeering and fraud earlier this year.
London-based Sportingbet accepted almost 150 million sports and gaming wagers in its third quarter that ended April 30. About four-fifths of its clients are American. Betonsports said last month it would shut down units that take bets from the US.
