Craig Carton chides Dianna Russini over 'brain-dead' BetUS deal
Awful Announcing • • sports
Key Points:
- Dianna Russini is returning to sports media with a weekly live show for BetUS, an online gambling company operating offshore and without U.S. state licenses.
- Craig Carton, a sports media personality who has publicly discussed his own gambling addiction, criticized Russini's partnership with BetUS, highlighting the company's lack of U.S. regulation and questionable business practices.
- BetUS is licensed in Curaçao but is considered illegal in many U.S. states, with some states issuing cease-and-desist orders and fines against the company for offering unauthorized online gambling.
- Carton emphasized that BetUS's operations, including requiring cryptocurrency or Western Union for deposits and complex rollover requirements, make it a risky and controversial choice for Russini's comeback platform.
- Despite the criticism, Carton acknowledged that Russini likely chose BetUS due to financial incentives, as mainstream U.S. media outlets have been hesitant to work with her following a personal scandal.
