Safe Deposit Sports, a Costa Rica-based sportsbook which in 2005 was named in the indictment of 36 individuals on charges of operating an illegal gambling ring in the New York area with the protection of the Bonanno organized crime family, shared the same address, technical support and administrative contact as BetonSports as recently as 2004.

According to The Times, the US authorities’ investigations into SDS and other companies using Costa Rican-based firms to circumvent US gambling laws may have triggered the prosecution of BetonSports.

In separate news, The Online Wire revealed that BetonSports approached all of its advertisers asking them to cancel all advertisement agreements to comply with the DoJ restraining order.
