Last month, Teufelberger and Bodner were charged with violations that dated back more than a decade when the online gambling group offered betting services to France's citizens. The charges included violating French law by offering iGaming products and receiving bets on sporting events and horse racing, as well as advertising to French players between 2003 and 2005.
