The list of owners of major online casinos and poker rooms reads like a Who's Who of the top investment firms. According to public filings, tens of millions of shares of SportingBet are owned by Fidelity, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs. Fidelity Management holds the most shares of SportingBet with $363 million in stock, or 14.1 percent of all available stock. Merrill Lynch is next with a $164 million stake in the company, while Goldman Sachs has $137 million invested.

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley Securities hold large investments in BetOnSports, another major online player. Morgan Stanley owns the biggest stake, worth $25.6 million, but the company claims that the investment is on behalf of one major investor who it refused to disclose.
