Mr Bollenbach, an American and the co-chairman and chief executive of HHC, would risk being the target of legal action if Ladbrokes was to enter the US, because the legality of online betting there is unclear.
However, other betting companies with online operations – notably Gibraltar-based PartyGaming who operate Party Poker– have generated huge profits from the US despite having directors in the country.
