William West Roberts, 57, of Las Vegas, has been indicted on felony charges of operating an unlicensed gaming establishment, unlawful receipt of compensation for accepting wagers, and attempting to launder money, the Nevada Gaming Control Board announced Wednesday.
Roberts was first arrested in April following a multi-year joint investigation by the NGCB and the FBI. Investigators found he had accepted sports bets through a Costa Rica-based website and routed funds through two businesses he owned — a fitness center and a social media consulting operation called Wild Bill Consulting Inc. The indictment also carries a misdemeanor count of accepting unlawful wagers.
The NGCB said it remains committed to pursuing operators who undermine regulated sports wagering in Nevada.
