A network of dummy online stores offering household goods has been used as a front for Internet gambling payments, a Reuters examination has found. Richardson said Agora processes payments for poker and works with "hundreds" of online gambling sites. Its website says it is certified by the PCI Security Standards Council, a global payment card security body. After Reuters approached the payment processing companies, all seven online stores stopped accepting payments, although they remain visible online. LoopholesSuch sites get around checks by credit card companies by using loopholes in the system, according to Frechtling at G2.
