“CNBC Investigates: Illegal Gambling” takes an inside look at the
multi-billion dollar business of illegal gambling. Millions are cashing
in. Some get rich, while others pay the ultimate price.



Across the United States, billions are being made outside the law.
Illegal gambling may conjure images of mobsters, bookies, and threats
of violence… but while that underground world still exists,
technology has made illegal gambling much more accessible. The same
computer you use for work or to connect with friends can be used to
wager outside the law. It’s a thriving illegal business hiding in plain
sight.



CNBC Investigates takes you inside the high-stakes world of illegal
gambling where some people are cashing in while others face prison
terms or even death. Join Melissa Francis as she follows the money
trail to discover who controls this multi-billion dollar business.
