The board of Sportingbet has now made the third and final payment of US$6m to the Office of the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, acting on behalf of the United States Department of Justice.
As a result, Sportingbet has paid a total sum of $33m in accordance with the terms of the non-prosecution agreement, which the company entered into with SDNY on September 21.
Andrew McIver, Sportingbet group chief executive, commented: "This final payment formally closes any risk which the company may have faced from its former activities in the US. Given that the US market continues to show signs of regulating both by product and by state in the near future, various opportunities exist to re-enter the US market and we are reviewing these."
