Web entrepreneur gambles on legality of betting site

10/4/2007 (Mike Lewis, Seattle Post) A local betting Web site entrepreneur faces possible extradition to Louisiana after authorities there charged the Seattle man with running an illegal gambling operation.

Nick Jenkins said he is awaiting Gov. Chris Gregoire's decision on whether or not to sign the extradition release requested by Louisiana prosecutors, who say Jenkins' now-defunct site, Betcha.com, violated federal and state laws against Internet-based gambling.

Jenkins, whose Seattle-based startup was raided by Washington State Gambling Commission investigators in early July, said his attorneys are trying to negotiate with the Governor's Office to delay any move until his Washington state case is heard.

A status hearing on the case and possible Louisiana charges is scheduled for Wednesday morning.
