Two Minnesota men are under investigation for collecting fees to gamble in casinos on behalf of others.
The scheme in question, according to the Minnesota Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division, involves a suburban Minneapolis man, sometimes aided by his brother, live streaming their gambling activities via TikTok.
The suspects allegedly charge a $5.99 subscription fee and an additional $25 for every $100 customers wager on slot machines. The TikTok live stream is to prove to the subscribers they are wagering the money. The wagers and winnings flow in and out through payment apps like Venmo.
