Peter Dicks is the chairman of Sportingbet PLC, one of the world's largest sportsbooks and internet gambling operations.

Mr. Dicks achieved notability when he was arrested while in transit at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport. He was detained by customs officials under an outstanding warrant issued by the state of Louisiana. The warrant charges Mr. Dicks with running a gambling enterprise by computer, a crime under Louisiana law. [1]

His arrest came two months after the arrest of competitor David Carruthers, CEO of rival firm BetOnSports.com.
