The technical guru behind a Hells Angels-controlled online gambling site has been fined C$400k (US $306k) by a Canadian court.

In February 2013, Canadian police raided an invitation-only Super Bowl party in Markham, Ontario for customers of Platinum Sports Book, an online credit betting operation that utilized toll-free phone lines and a Costa Rica-based website. Police said the ring was operated by the London, Ontario chapter of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang.

On Monday, Justice John McMahon handed Gordon Baird a $400k fine for Baird’s role in operating the gang’s website, PlatinumSB.com. The 59-year-old Baird pled guilty to bookmaking and contributing to the activities of a criminal organization.

Baird had looking at a potentially lengthy prison stint but his lack of prior convictions convinced McMahon to opt for an 18-month house arrest and 12 months probation. Baird has already paid $50k of his fine, but he’ll face a three-year prison stint if he fails to pay the balance within the next 12 months.
