The Internal Revenue Service is significantly scaling back an investigation into customers who bought and sold bitcoins on the popular digital currency exchange Coinbase.

Bitcoin now accounts for up to a quarter of all online gambling transactions at many Web betting firms, especially those in high risk jurisdictions.
