A Boca Raton poker player is facing multiple gambling-related charges after Florida investigators alleged he helped run an illegal sports betting operation tied to Allgames365.com.
According to the allegations cited in the case, 42-year-old Devon Alexander Shalmi was arrested on Sept. 8. He is charged with bookmaking, conspiracy to commit bookmaking, money laundering, conspiracy to engage in money laundering, concealment, unlawful use of a two-way communication device, and running a gambling house.
What investigators allege
The investigation alleges Shalmi distributed betting accounts, set credit limits, collected debts, and managed wagers connected to Allgames365.com. A confidential informant allegedly told investigators that he handled accounts and settlements.
Officers reportedly carried out 30 undercover operations and were given accounts for the site. Detectives also alleged that account activity was handled through encrypted apps, including Telegram, while wins and losses were settled through Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, bank wires, and cash.
Investigators further alleged they met Shalmi in person to exchange cash at a pickleball club in Deerfield Beach and outside Seminole Coconut Creek Casino.
Money trail and next court date
Authorities allegedly traced more than $3 million to ILSJSF Solutions, a Boca Raton firm, as part of the investigation.
For Florida readers, the case is another example of how illegal betting probes can center on payment apps, encrypted communications, and off-the-books credit wagering rather than regulated betting channels.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Oct. 10. The source report did not include any response from Shalmi or his representatives, and the allegations had not been proven in court at the time of publication.
