I don't think that it's coming from the autobet feature of the website or casino where you are playing. There must be some other apps that you haven't noticed you downloaded and runs a miner into your PC.

I've met one of those miner when I did an entire cleanup to my PC and I've found it on my downloads folder. Take note that I'm not running the app and I've never launched it but it has consumed a space of my PC.

Try to do a cleanup with most of your downloads or apps you have installed.

Weeks ago, I downloaded minergate and it was CPU super consumer. I deleted it and as I said the "Web Content" process is related to the website.
Have you tried the same process with your browser? or do you have extensions installed on your browser? if you try to off the autobet feature for those casinos and gamble, have you checked if the same thing comes out when you do it?

The browser Maxthon was rumored to run a mining program in the background while their browser was open years before this announcement was made.
I don't know about Maxthon but is this browser used in Ubuntu OS? is this the browser you use guufullme?
