The Bloomberg report said the investigators, retained by a U.S.-based competitor of Evolution, recorded themselves playing games through internet addresses in Singapore and Hong Kong, where online betting is banned.<\/p>\n
A spokesman for Evolution denied the accusation, saying it strictly complied with all applicable laws and regulations.<\/p>\n
“We use all tools at our disposal to block play from certain countries, including all countries on sanction lists mentioned in the article,” he said.<\/p>\n
Evolution does not own or control any of the operators it works with and has no direct relationship with the underlying player and involvement in handling of players’ money, he added.<\/p>\n
Shares of the company were down 9% in morning trade, following a jump of 62% this year to a valuation of $33 billion.<\/p>\n
While Evolution holds back its games from countries on sanction<\/a> lists, the complaint raises questions and could draw increased focus from regulators, which is not positive, Pareto Securities analyst Marlon V\u00e4rnik said.<\/p>\n The New Jersey enforcement division to which the complaint was made is the investigative arm of the casino regulatory system and prosecutes all casino-related crimes.(Reporting by Supantha Mukherjee and Boleslaw Lasocki; Editing by Clarence Fernandez)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
