The Netherland Antilles island of Curacao hosts a number of online sportsbooks and casinos. It also sits right off the coast of Venezuela. And now the island nation has come under threat from Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.

Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen has summoned the Venezuelan ambassador to provide an explanation of statements made by President Hugo Chávez at the Copenhagen summit, where he accused the Netherlands of colluding with the United States against his nation by allowing military access to the Dutch Antilles. Verhagen denied that there is any aggression plot against Venezuela.

Chavez has ordered any unmanned drones entering Venezuelan air space shot down. The Venezuelan leader considers Curacao part of his nation's air space based on statements made this weekend.

Curacao is home to one of the largest sports betting companies, Pinnacle Sports. The Venezuelan island of Margarita Island was once home to nearly a dozen sports betting operations catering to the US market.
