eBay lowers the boom on online casino gambling auction

Online casino and sportsbook, BetbyInternet was this week backpeddling following action by eBay to halt its heavily publicised $100,000 auction for a pre-paid membership to be used for online gambling. eBay stated that the auction constituted, "....encouraging illegal actions".

The lot had a reserve price of $49,000, less than 50 percent of the face value of $100,000.

Undeterred, Bet By Internet is now looking for a way around the legal obstacle, with its VP of Operations, Randal Zuniga saying that the company plans to list a similar auction, however this time the promotion will be a pre-paid gambling trip to Las Vegas.

"Gambling is legal only in Vegas," Zuniga opined. "So my guess is that eBay should not have a problem with this type of auction."
