A judge sentenced two people Tuesday to probation after they coordinated with each other to embezzle money from sports betting company William Hill, documents said.
In December 2022, a Nevada Gaming Control Board enforcement agent began an investigation into the embezzlement involving several employees at the company. According to its website, William Hill operates more than 100 race and sports books in Nevada. The company calls itself “the state’s leading mobile sports betting app.” Caesars Entertainment purchased William Hill for nearly $4 billion in 2021.
According to board investigators, Shravan Singh and Paige Steiner worked with each other and two other co-conspirators in the scheme where a William Hill customer service agent would review customer information from a kiosk and adjust an amount of money.
