Online gamer 888 is trying to find a sports book to add to its portfolio, reports the London Telegraph.

John Anderson, 888’s chief executive, told the paper he wanted to offer sports betting to the company’s casino and poker players to boost “customer retention” and “organic growth.”

Of course, this stuff is totally illegal in the U.S., so Anderson was sure to say: “In terms of sports books, the one thing I will not be doing is taking bets from American citizens in America because that’s illegal under the Wire Act in the States.” Say it ain’t so!
