(St. Paul, MN) -- Two Minnesota brothers are facing charges for running a service that placed bets for others at multiple casinos.  

The state's Alcohol and Gambling Control Division began investigating after receiving a tip that the brothers were live-streaming from Minnesota casinos while placing bets for off-site gamblers. The brothers would collect a portion of each bet as their fee. 40-year-old Blake Fitzgerald of Farmington and 34-year old Christopher Mattison of Warren were charged last week in Goodhue County in connection with the investigation.
