Lucchese crime mafia member files guilty plea on involvement in Rhino Sports illegal gambling platform

Five Lucchese crime family members and associates have entered guilty pleas to charges pertaining to the running of Rhino Sports, an illegal gambling business with servers located in Costa Rica and based in Brooklyn.

The price per head or pay per head business model was used by Rhino Sports. Here, an unlicensed bookmaker, or in this case, the Lucchese crime family, can use an offshore platform provider to provide online betting services to a local clientele. Costa Rica is home to a large number of these offshore websites, which are permitted there.
