Sportingbet said on Wednesday the state of Louisiana had withdrawn charges of "gambling by computer" against its former chairman, Peter Dicks, whose arrest heralded a U.S. crackdown on online gaming.

Sportingbet said in a statement it had reached an amicable resolution with the St Landry District Attorney in the State of Louisiana meaning "all related warrants issued by the Louisiana State Police have been cancelled with immediate effect".

Sportingbet said both it and the St Landry District Attorney now consider the matter closed.

On September 7, Peter Dicks, then Sportingbet's chairman, was arrested in New York at the request of Louisiana. Dicks's arrest came before the United States banned online gaming financial transactions in October.
