In the Netherlands you can't start easy a casino. There are high qualification and think this will be in most Europe country's.

Yes, in most countries in europe it shouldn't be a problem to start a casino.

In this internet age is there any reason to worry about your own country's laws? That is unless you plan on opening a physical casino. Go offshore and reap the benefits.

I think it shouldn't be a problem opening an online casino in this internet era. In my country, there is no single online casino but people join online casinos from other countries.

my country also prohibit all shapes of gambling and because it's illegal it mean for those people who have the casino will does not pay taxes

Don't know how much of this is true but Micon did this iirc, moved his online casino from vegas to another country but was still busted, I think a legal advise in this matter should be taken prior to taking any steps to avoid serious consequences.

In my country, Casino is 100% Illegal. even the punishment of the casino itself is quite heavy.
But most people gambling at online casinos belonging to other countries ..

yes Casino is 100% illegal. in my country are very strict regulations on gambling sites

In the US, specifically NY there are a lot of these banned so the best route (which may not always be legal) is to attempt to use a VPN if you wanted to try your luck on one. But, make sure to do this at your own risk.

if you run it 100% crypto now one will say anything, especially online

as long as you stay away from fiat you're safe

LOL @ your nick and the post))

You are right if "going offshore" means physically moving somewhere. Just buying (say) a domain and hosting abroad would not move the jurisdiction's laws "offshore". Ask coin.mx guys if don't believe me...

Same in my country Indonesia. gambling is prohibited, even if you have an online gambling site. you could be in jail lol

Well, yeah, there is that. Maybe I should've added it. I guess you could be the shadowy puppetmaster in the background if you want to stay home.

In my country, this is actually legal to own Casino if you have the license... but only the "selected"/"related" few could get the license...

in Georgia (country) it is legal to own a online casino, there are even tax free trading areas but for casino you should buy a license, thats why I decided to open it on offshore so noone can charge anything. The bad thing is they can ask money with unofficial ways and most of the time the prey ends up in jail or dead for not paying. :)

i m from pakistan... its illegal any kind of casino and bear or vodka..

It is legal in my country, I think. Because PD is founded by an Australian too.

sorry I can not describe it, because in my country it is such a thing illegal

casino place or gambling. is strictly prohibited in the country. many people who gamble have entered the prison by police

so true. only a few states where gambling is legal. the rest certainly prohibit a gambling and who was caught would have imprisoned

I think that in all UE is illegal open a casinos.... or you go in Malta or buy a license from Austria, but it can be really expensive, and also with taxes and "jobs" to pay, is really impossibile without a strong capital to invest....

A lot of site if you see are hosted in these country... I know some good bookmakers from this country (and a vast majority have the legal headquarters in those places ;) )

I dont get something, why do I need a license if Im not playing on fiat? and still if i need one where is the best to register llc? I mean the best country to register online bitcoin casino if it needs to be registered and licensed of course

For example you can't run a site like this one hosted in USA.
And in other countries every type of gambling is banned without license independent the currency... this is why you can also use "points" and then exchange for fiat or prize!

just to be clear, in USA for example I can open an online casino which only uses bitcoins as a currency and I won't have to buy a license right ?

I think what he is trying to say, is that maybe you need to figure out what country fits your needs of hosting a gambling website without any licensing (I have no idea), and then see what VPN's are available in those countries that you could pay them to host your site.

I feel like this is the best way to go about things, but could be wrong.

thats the point, im looking for country where to host the webpage with no regulations and not needing the license for online casino

Casino's are rare in Greece but there are many gambling stores that among other things offer gambling on sports, lottery tickets, scratch tickets etc. You need a license issued by the state to open one through and can only offer tickets for official games that are operated by a single company.

It is very expensive to license a casino in the United States, and the laws are complicated by the fact that every state has a different set of laws.  For the most part online gambling is not mentioned in the laws. Only a few states have enacted legislation that directly mentions it.  Some states entirely prohibit gambling in any form, some only allow licensed casinos or gambling devices in certain places, some allow for "social" betting but no other, and the list goes on...  These laws seem to be irrespective of the form of currency used.

Federal law has some regulations based on old technology (telephones) but they have been used to arrest and convict online casino operators, even those who do not operate their websites from inside the United States.  This is why many online casinos do not allow deposits from US ip addresses.

To get a feel for how complex it is, google "united states gambling laws"; there are several sites that have summaries of the laws at the federal level and for each state as well as the full text of the laws involved.

There are many predictions that this situation will soon change, but laws and regulations in the US have historically been slow to change, so I wouldn't look for any real break-throughs in less than 10 years.

In the U.S. the native reservations have most of the casinos. Nice places. Too bad they don't except bitcoin.

I have no plan of owning casino in my country because I don't want to people crazy and complicated because as we all know a lot of people somewhere broke their life unto this gambling.

Just create an offshore structure (BVI, Costa Rica, Montenegro => tip, very cheap options there) and the problem is solved. Calculate some costs for programmers, customer support (24/7 if you'd like to operate professionally) and other staff. Guess below 30-50.000$ you can't start anything here, if you consider using own software, add 50-80.000$ for this.

For me, it would impossible to operate a casino in my country.

in my country will not be officially casino, but many who want a casino that was officially established.

DARKCHANGE, or anyone else for that matter, do you think setting up an offshore structure specifically in Nicaragua would be fairly easy?  I am thinking about retiring there.

I have been thinking about owning an online casino in my country because currently we don't have one. there are many physical casinos but I don't know any regulations on online casino. I would also like to know how much one needs to start such a venture. I believe it can be very profitable because people in my country and so curious about anything new and they would like to try it especially if it involves money.

to start a business if you can find out the casino via the Internet.

It doesn't matter if your country doesn't have an online casino. People from your country can gamble at any online casino. So you won't have the novelty factor when you introduce a casino to your countrymen.

yes, it is true, but there is another problem that the language factor, not everyone mastered the English language, including me.

casino? it's not familiar around here. I think people aren't interested in playing something like that. think of the risky possibility. so it's just wasting time. no offense.

if it makes you lucky it will be your daily activities.
This thing you should try

In my country, you need an expensive licence, and you are heavily controlled by the gambling inspection... In other words: if you don't have loads of money to do it right, hire lawyers and other specialist, it's almost impossible.

whether that hard to build a casino in your country, I think it's very complicated.

What kind of casino the one can build without loads of money? Even if you will not need to get licenses etc, this is not the business you can start with a couple of thousands usd

but it can not be banned in our country and the money for it is hard to find it.

In my country... It's illegal, but you can find it everywhere, guess what country ?

Hint : Asia

I try to guess, certainly in Southeast Asia.

In the UK you will need a license, a lot of bitcoin gambling sites block people in the UK from registering due to this.

casino place or gambling. is strictly prohibited in the country. many people who gamble have entered the prison by police

well in my country casinos are illegal but only in one state goa state govt. approved casinos

here in my country it is not possible to own a casino. actually the problem is that casino and gambling is not legal here in my area. therefore you cannot own a casino. although there are some casino which are operation illegally. but they have always a threat of being caught.

we have no such proper casino here in our country. but have some format. as gambling is not allowed in  our country and so casinos are. therefore it is not an easy job to run a casino here. you need much power and money to control the police and other casino related issues.

same is the condition in our country. gambling and casino are not allowed here. in other countries like UK and Australia you just need a license and you can start it but here it is not even possible through license. but still here are so many people who are running casino illegally.

although it is legal here but still we cannot open a casino here. and the reason is that for opening a casino here you must be more powerful and also must have a lot of money. because in casino you will face every kind of person there. and will solve so many problems therefore you must be financially as will as physically strong enough.

yes it is not an easy job to operate or run a casino. you will face so many problems in casino while gambling. it is a fact that while gambling when some one loses the money he tries to crease disturbance and he is just orguaing for fight so in such situation you will have to control the situaltion either by convincing both the parties or using force.

it is a problem for all casino lovers, the safest thing is that we create a trusted online casino.

very difficult to find it in Asia. may be you can find it in India. but no so much as compare to other Europs or African countries.  even in india they are not legal. but still some people are running it hide from govt.

yes you are absulutly right i am also from Asia and i think there will be some countries where you can find casino or other places of gambling but still people of these countries using different method of gambling

In Nigeria, no one has a casino that I know of, not that it's against the law to own a casino. I am glad we don't have them here because casinos have a smooth way of making you lose good money.

In my country it is also ban, if someone try to do gambling in their places and if the government come to know about that then they immediately arrest them.

I believe the official casino in the country does not exist, but the casino is not formally bound in every state there.

and it not so easy to establish a casino. I think it is one of the difficult job to own a casino because it need a lot of money and more courage and even muscles power to run a casino. because there you will face every kind of people.

formal or informal all kind of casinos are banned in my country, even cannot think about this, it is strongly prohibited in our country and one caught guilty will be sent to jail. still there are so many people who are operating bitcoin illegally but it is not just like the proper casino, it has some selected games and no special arrangement.

I think if your government allow you for that (for starting your casino in your country) then there will be no any hard struggle and you will have to do the same work which you do for implementing any other business (organization or industry). But the money theer will be more wanted, the more you will spend on your business (casino) the more your casino will establish and will earn you profit.

All of this depending what we call a ''casino'', many alts offer dice ,blackjack, etc games.
can be that considered as a casino?

In Romaia cazino's are legal, but you need a good liceense

In all countries it is quite difficult to open a casino you need approvals, is much hassle, nowhere is without rules

i do not think so that it is difficult in all countries to open a casino, in some countries where casinos are lega there opening a casino is not an issue, you just need a good investment, i think it is only difficult in such countries where casino or gambling is not legal so one can run casino only illegally.

but i my country it is totally banned and illegal. no one has the right to open casino legally, still there are so many people who are running casino illegally, but these casinos are not just like formal casino having all the facilities.

yes that is the same situation  in our state also, recently when i came out from my house i just saw some police men rid on a river band where some people were busy in cards game and they arrest them red handed.

i am living in an Islamic country and here is it almost impossible to run a casino legally. although there are some people who are running an informal casino illegally but still they face so may problems while running such casinos.

There is a grand casino in my capital city, gambling is legal in my country, and we can play slots in every supermarket or stores.

you are lucky person. here gambling is not legal and we use illegal casino illegally for gambling, if we caught by the police they will put us in jail. and that is the reason that we mostly play gambling on sports, because while gambling on sports you can bet even from your home on telephone and therefore it is a safe method of gambling.

to own a casino is not such an easy task, i think it is one of the most difficult task to own casino and then run it in a proper way, it really need money power, specially in those countries where gambling and casino is not legal.

In my country it is also illegal as according to them with that their citizens will not take interest in other activities of the country and they are saying that with that their country will be unable to go develop more.
While those people who want to start their own online casino are free to start , as the government do not have any strict check on that type of activities.

same is the case in our country, all version of gambling are banned and if some one caught by the police then the police really have a very worst attitude with them. but still here people are regularly playing gambling and do not take care of government.

not in all countries but only in few countries and specially in such countries where the gambling is illegal, but in other countries where gambling is legal the it is not such a difficult job to open a casino, you just need a license from the government and do some investment for preparing casino.

Yes, of course you have to worry about those pesky laws, wherever you're from.  There's no way in God's fuck that I'm going to open an online casino if I'm living in the US.  It's too damn risky.  You could end up in Miami being shot by a mercenary and falling to your death into your own swimming pool.  That's how bad it can get. 

Don't know why gambling is such a no-no in a lot of places.  We as a society really need to loosen up the zipper sometimes.

it happens in my country. they catch people gambling, but if gambling was made payments of protection money to the police, the gambling is not banned by them. the gamblers in the country chose to compromise with elements of police who are not responsible for tasking.

gambling is really illegal in most of the countries  but still people are playing it illegally, and same is the case in my country here as gambling is illegal bust still people play it illegally and when then caught by the police then arrest them and then charge them for it i also play gambling but i mostly play it on sports therefore there are very little chance for the police to catch me.

Yeah the sports betters are lucky on that matter as they can also bet from their home even with their family members and no one will know about them, I also have some friends who are doing sports betting among themselves and are doing it freely even it is banned in my country too.

any gambling games really illegal,in my country denied access to games arrangements regarding gambling in my country:
imprisonment of 6 (six) years and / or a maximum fine of Rp 1 billion
Whoever participated gambling games are held on public roads or on the edges or in places accessible to the general public, except when to hold it, no permission from the competent authority.

It is legal here in our country.  There are many hotel casino in our country.  Owned by billionaires from other country who also runs casinos.  I know they have a big contribution on our tax system that is why they are allowed to operate.  I do not have also any idea what it looks like but it is the place only for the rich people.  I was able to play it through game applications and I get bored. ;D

but it is totally banned in my country and illegal. but still there are people who are running casino illegally.and if they caught by the police they will be put in prison, but the casino here are not so develop and having every thing s available here, here in casino there just few specific game for gambling.

Casinos here were managed/owned and run by multi billionaire people.  It is actually legal because we have here like two to three casinos.  Gambling here is legal but only those which were run by the government.  The president is now into using the funds or the collection of money by lottery to use and to pay for medical bills of poor citizens.

yes that is the fact and same is the case in my country, gambling is totally illegal in our country, and therefore owning a casino is also banned, no one  can start a legal casino here in our country, although there are some illegal casino not so much develop but still people use these illegal casinos for gambling, but there is always a chance to be caught by the police.

In my country it is illegal but in some parts some people are running their casino with paying high tax to the government and they have got the license for to show that they are running the casino for the foreigners which is important for to attract tourists to the country so for that reason there are some in my country but not openly.

yes all sorts of gambling are banned in my country also but still sports gambling is the safest way to play gambling without any worry, and that is the reason that now most of the people are giveing importance to sports gambling.

casino is not legal in my area therefore it is not possible to earn casino in my country.                                 

really sad fate, you can not feel the casino in your area, but do not worry now many online casinos, with it you can feel the atmosphere of a real casino.

yes it is banned in most of the countries, same is the case in my country, it is even impossible to run a legal casino here, however you can run casino illegally here but if you caught by the police they will put you in prison.

In most of the countries like India, Poland, etc gambling banned. But actually if you see a vast majority of these countries' people are involved in online gambling, so while I think you cannot run it if illegal, you can have a partner in another country and then you should be fine.

it is no so easy to own casino in my country, actually it is totally banned here in my country and if some one want to run a casino he is running it totally illegal. so if you are not politically strong you cannot own a casino because have to face the challenge of police department.

yes that is the problem of most of the countries. specially in muslim countries gambling is totally illegal and banned and therefore running a casino in such countries is almost not possible, although some people are running it illegaly but if they caught by the police they will be put in prison.

in my country, the police, and the state apparatus, everything can be solved as long as there is money. if we give the money to shut up security and permissions, the casino will be safe from the police.

i think it is so much difficult to own casino in my area, and the reason is that i live in an islamic country and gambling is totally banned in my country and in Islam therefore it is almost impossible to own casino in my country.

In my country only in some part the casino is allowed but not in much parts and people are unable to start their own casino in my country because the tax on there are much higher only millionaire can start their casino and for entertainment while anyone can start an online casino.

in my country gambling is illegal, including online gambling, the regulation in my country in gambling is very strict, even the government made rules to forbid online gambling including bitcoin gambling, so there will be no chance for building a casino in my country

in my country there is no rules to legalize a casino and to own it.

yes in most of the countries people are facing the same problem and specially in Muslims countries it is so much difficult to open a casino, as it is almost banned in Muslim Countries.

very fortunate for the people whose country legalize casino, out there are still many countries that do not grant permission to the casino because it is contrary to the rules of religion in the country.

as gambling is not allowed in my country as it is an illegal activity therefore it is also difficult to own casino legally, but there still there are so many people who are running casino in my country, and if they caught by the police they will be charge for that.

I think it will be possible for them to start an online casino with bitcoin payment so they will not find you and your casino. but if it is not allowed by your religion and still you want to have then you are doing wrong thing.

but most of the people in my areas who are engage in gambling are mostly not educated and having no of computer and internet, therefore it is not so easy to start online casino and then manage it in a proper way.

in my country the most difficult job it to own a casino and the reason is very simple actually in my country gambling is totally banned therefore no one is allowed to own casino, but still some people are still running it illegally. but if they caught by the police they will be put in jail, and will be charge for that.

Is it real to immigrate to another country where is alowed to own a casino and how much money do I need for that?

yes that is a fact that if you country is not allowing you to open a casino and still you are running a casino so it is illegal, but i think in most of the countries the trend is really in progress that ever one most of the people are running casino illegally.

of course, to build a casino, you need money not least because a lot of things to do like buying a system, the licenses, rental places, and others, of course, all these things cost very much at all.

yes and only rich people can provide these things to a casino, but addtional to these things there are so my other things to arrange for casino like you have to give full security to the gambler and you must have to control the casino  environment in control every time.

being Mulsim and living in a muslim coountry owning casino is not almost possible, as still there are a number of people who are running casino illegally but still if they caught by the police they will be put in jail.

in my area it is almost impossible to own a casino, and if you still want to  own a casino is to use illegal way. as some people own casino illegally but it is not like formal casino, here you cannot find the facilities of most of the games.

In my country it is sort of illegal. Well, in fact it became illegal about 7 years ago and I guess it was not about all the casinos but only that there can not be a casino in a big city.. But still, I live in the capital and there are many casinos here masking as 'state lotteries'. Everyone knows that but nobody cares, so nothing is done about it.

It is also a illegal activity in my country - Vietnam. The government give the police an authority to arrest anyone who open a casino or play casino. They believe that casino will make my country even poorer than it is. So who ever want to own a casino or to do some gambling activity goes straight to the border of my country and Cambodia where casino is not illegal

running a casino is also illegal activity as gambling is totally banned in my country but still there are some people who are playing gambling and running casinos, but such casinos are not just like the formal casinos, here you can play some limited games with lack of facilities, as there is alway a chance to be catch by the police, therefore they are not investing some good money on such casinos.

yes you are right and i think gambling is only banned in Islam and if the Muslims are still playing gambling then they are really committing a sin and they will be punish for that, but still you can find so many Muslims who are using gambling continuously for making money.

The problem is if you are running a business without money transmission license you can be prosecuted  for money laundering and that is what happened with the coin.mx guys

In Muslim countries all forms of gambling and lottery are considered as forbidden and illegal and if caught you might get into serious trouble,even in Dubai which has one of the most lenient laws when you compare all the Muslim countries and if they find you involved in illegal gambling you can face up to 2 years in prison and may be accompanied by a fine of Dh 20,000.

i think in my country it is not easy to own a casino as it is not legal in my country although are still using it illegally but if they catch by the police they will be put in jail.

yes you can if you want to play gambling and it is not legal in your country then you can migrate to such country where gambling is legal. but leaving your own country and your friends, relative and family is not such an easy job, you must think about that first.

I think it is legal to own an online casino in my country however you have to fill in a ton of paperwork.

There are a lot of unlicensed online casinos especially with bitcoin though.

because a Muslim is supposed to obey what is forbidden by religion. Gambling is one thing that is forbidden for a Muslim, and clearly, those countries that follow the teachings of Islam would imprison people who gamble.

yes gambling is totally forbidden in Islam and that is the reason that gambling is totally forbidden in Islam. but i think gambling is also forbidden in other religion, may be very little religion will allow gambling.

if I only knew that it was clear that it was Islam forbids gambling, why banned? because in Islam's holy book (Quran) explained that in gambling that there will definitely be people who are disadvantaged and there are people who benefit. while it is clear that gambling is more to harm. it makes gambling banned

Guys, it is impossible to run a gambling business in Muslim countries, indeed. However you can run the business under offshore license – this will let you accept all the main payments methods.

Over here, its actually not illegal to own a casino although there are few casinos but the regulations are the killing aspect of it as it is really cumbersome to have something like that. To the best of my knowledge casinos are seen in big hotels and not a standalone establishments which is not even popular maybe because of the orientation of the community to such ventures.

Still worthwhile to be mindful of the laws that governs wherever one is domiciled. However it should not be the decider of what you want for your life. It's your life after all and your destiny is in your hands, so if you find your country is the stumbling block to your dreams, don't just throw up your hands in surrender - take to technology or shift base. It is for situations like this, that cryptocurrency is such a welcome relief. Just dare to get well educated, the ideal path will stare you in the face.

I am going to start an online casino soon. It is a whole new field of activity for me, so I have a question regarding licenses. Will the license from http://www.gaminglicensing.com be suitable for me? Do you have some experience with it? I would appreciate any input from you, guys. Thanks in advance!

I hope this is your new activity can benefit yourself and others, and to help channel the people who like to play casino but they are not facilitated by the country.

Here in my country we can not own a casino right now because of our new president because they are ban all gambling casino here in my country..
I am planning to start gambling casino online but i am afraid to caught and i think it is better to stay away from them for safety purposes.. And i think i can not start gambling for now since i just few bitcoins here and trying to increase the amount and have a dream to start a business like gambling casino because i saw many business man are making good profit and until now they are still alive like crypto games betking primedice those site are still alive and i think they are making good profit since bitcoin price is not stable it increases also they profit for every price increase..

This  thing  really depends  on which  country you do  live and expect there are  lots of  different answers here  because   people do  live in different places. In my country gambling is  banned already which  means its not  possible to  build an  online casino  or even offline  because   if you did it  then  you  put  your self  into  a big trouble.
Building a gambling site is not  a joke  because you will need   huge amount to  start for sure.

Nope..
not anything like that..

Owning both online and offline casinos are legal and very common here in Panama. You will need proper licensing and there are about $20,000 in annual frees. I do know that there are small brick and mortar gambling establishments here that are unlicensed and unenforced by the police. Even small local bars and restaurants put slot machines in their establishments.

In my country it's illegal, even if it gets caught will be dealt with firmly even be jailed. My country is very firm because it includes gambling. But in about 20 years ago my country allow their casinos, but since there is a new regulation, make a the casino is illegal. Perhaps this is due to religious factors.

That thing is correct that in gambling if the players are playing for chasing the money that in that gambling one will be benefited and the other will lose and in that if played in offline casino then there will be hostility created among those people and they will try to harm each other which is morally not good.

My country does allow Casinos..
But you need to have 40k$ to invest on your casino.

BTC Casino is the way to go..
They can't do shit.

Omg, they can put you in jail for just having an online gambling site? I though they might impose a fine on you or something like that. I think that's not fair to put someone in jail if he doesn't force anyone to gamble on his site. That's people's choice, they are free to do whatever they want if hurts nobody. I know gambling has a very bad impact on some people, but we don't put in jail the restaurants owners though some people die from overeating.

Gambling is the games that offer the opportunity to win Fiat. If the bets in the casino will take in the cryptocurrency it can be a reason to challenge any accusation. In Europe, there are countries that have the interpretation of bitcoins in the law, but the altcoins remain unregulated.

Its not really that big a deal. I am a bit unable to understand what are you talking about. You want to own a casino or use it? Owning it is obviously too hectic a process you have to make sure that you make profits and your clients and customers too make profit at the very same time which is indeed very difficult while using it is pretty normal. Taxes can be paid normally like any other casual income. You  have to pay taxes on profits but can't take reduction for losses.

It depends on territorial and subjective jurisdictio,I mean that In my country this issue is regulated differently in different cities,For example In order to create casino in capital city you are obliged to buy gambling licence which costs 5 or as i remember correctly 4 million $,But If you want to create this business in another city licence costs very less than its in capital city.So its very complex issue and very different in different countries and cities which takes a lot of financial resources and time.

At least it's allowed in your country. Casino owners make a lot of profit and the expensive taxes they have to pay are useful for the cities development (if there isn't corruption, of course). Capital cities are usually more wealthy and have more activity than in country cities, it means more profit, but more taxes as well. In the end it's still profitable for casino owners.

It's worse when the country totally bans gambling, they don't see its potential, like in my country.
The only institutions that have the right to organize gambling - bingo games are the churches and other institutions that are collecting donations/money, and they don't need to pay any tax. People laudering money uses this method, donating to avoid taxes.

But more importantly when the country totally bans gambling,Businessmen and gamblers will do the same bypassing the law.Today we have many historical evidences about this process and I don't understand why countries act like that,May they think that it will be better for people but I think its not a solution,because they can even make strict regulations and limitations for gamblers who cann't give up..Anyway its a very complex issue and needs distinctive and different approach.

Hoping that in Casino they'll gonna accept bitcoin as one way of their mode of payment, or that is the token and price that they gonna use with that it would be a big help in the world of cryptocurrency, and the demand for sure will increase more.

Hi, I'm from Indonesia. Bitcoin status in my country is still not legal. But in my country Bitcoin is not banned as an investment asset, it is only prohibited as a means of payment. And Bitcoin is still very limited in my country.

Yes, there are many illegal casinos operating in countries where gambling is forbidden. I think it's worse for countries this way, as they have a kind of business operating in the shadows, while it could be operating legally and generating tax income and turistic attraction for visitants from different places. Gambling is part of human culture since the earliest periods of its story, it's a mistake to try separating the man from this activity.

I am from Indonesia in my country there is no casino and maybe it is not licensed because it is a gambling

In my country, the casino is still 100% illegal. If we break it we will get very big sanctions. Gambling in my country is forbidden, but although there are still a lot of people who do it secretly.

Years go by and gambling industry still stays to be illegal in the majority of countries.

I don't see the point of restricting casino. People must must be responsible towards things which are connected with risk, but there's no need to resctrict it - each should take his own responsibility

There's no tax and it's not legal at all also is still strictly prohibited by the government, there is no casino place and no people are in droves to come to the casino and doing betting. Well but maybe for the club place., is still not prohibited yet.

Not a surprising thing actually for those shady and illegal gambling/casinos do exist into a particular country because there would be always a corrupt government or some high ranked positioned personalities that would really backed or protect these things to operate in exchange they would able to earn extra income.For now gambling industry isnt still banned or prohibited in our country.They can still able to operate but as usual they are regulated.

My country decide to ban gambling because it's against the law and religion especially most of my people are Muslim.
For bitcoin, the case is similar because it's against with our religion and law so that's why casino not too popular at my place

Half agree with you but I don't understand why gambling is a part of human culture,For me culture is a very different thing from this which contains a lot of details of our ancestors,even moral sign...What about issues about restrictions of course,Goverments are obliged to use relatively legitimate and equitable approaches,because everyone has his own responsibility and all of them are free,Their choice-their risk,there is no doubt.In additional,Of course its a good example of importing 'new money from another country,because as we know when foreigner uses service in another X country it means import...

It is very clear that gambling in my country is strictly prohibited. Whatever the form of gambling must be very prohibited and if violated it will certainly be subject to a great penalty. But even so, there are still many people who play Gambling in secret and even open.

In my country Casino is legal it is like a big gambling house,most of the players in there are rich or known people that is why when you are inside in casino it is not allowed to take pictures for the privacy of the players playing in there.

Here in our country I don't know if I should be proud that we do have lots of casinos here actually, but that is not should be proud of, we should not live in a place full of gambling house, it is sad to think that casinos are built with great materials and lights and so on compare to the churches.

There are also lot of casinos in my country and small gambling house mostly i played in there to enjoy myself but seldom playing in casinos because it is a little bit far to my hometown. Truth that casinos were built with great materials and lights but so our churches too and mostly lots of tourist people visits of our churches because it is beautiful and miraculous.

We already know that the law can be paid in some countries. Although casino is banned though this business is very profitable for the owner of course they will make their casino safe from the authorities so it is not banned. Are we familiar with bribes? all that is prohibited if there is money / bribes everything will be legal, this is a public secret

In my country casino is banned too, that's why it is piontless to talk about taxes. But as far as I know there are thousands of illegal casinos, some people say that they are supervised by authorities... smells like conspiracy

How I wish that Casino will banned in our country too, I don't want to have any gambling activities here in our country as many crimes had happened because of it, many family went broken because husband and wife kept fighting because of money, so I hope it will banned here as well.

you do realize investing in crypto is just like gambling right?

I think there is now more than $70B worth of bitcoin sitting in bitcoin wallets.One thing to consider here , the asset is not under any management. So we can call it AUP (Asset Under Management ) , but we can call it Assets Under Protection (AUP). And here is where the risk to traditional banking resides. What does a world look like when a simple bitcoin wallet is indirectly protecting as much money as big giant companies , organizations like  Bank of America or Fargo etc.

For in my country gambling or casino is strictly prohibited and illegal because my country is a predominantly Muslim country, so it is strictly prohibited in religion.

in the phillippines casino are allowed but if you execute your own casino you suffer high taxes . but its worth it because they allows girls for rent!

Good thing that that my country does not still tax us from our crypto profits. Even though a lot of scams have been exposed in the news, our government is very supportive in bitcoins and I hope that it will stay like this for long.

You are contradicting yourself here. If your government is 'supportive' of Bitcoin, then that means there are proper laws matching that. In other words, you do have to pay tax over your profits. It's impossible and quite unthinkable for any government to not tax people's profits. Governments don't do anything without getting something back, and that something in this case is you paying your taxes. I can even look it up for you if you state what country you're from. Even if your government doesn't explicitly state that you have to pay tax over crypto profits, you are still obliged to do so....

As far as I know I think that only European countries are allowed to open casino's as it is legal in Europe. If it is illegal in your country you really should not try it

Casino place? in my place / in my country is not so visible because it's same.. it's still illegal or still opposed by the government because of negative imaging. In here are many people who gamble out of the country and gamble till win bets in a casino in another country.

Some European countries legalize and give taxes from gambling, I think it's a good idea from the government because you know that the velocity of money in gambling is huge? in Asian countries may be just a few like macau, but in my own country gambling is prohibits, but that does not mean there is no gambling site in my country, let alone the existing of crypto makes gambling increasingly mushrooming and easy in my country

I'm my country casino is illegal too but exist many underground casinos and slot rooms ;D
Also country have legal area for gambling.

There are lot of casino here in my country and all them are legal because maybe our government is not very strict for legalizing a certain gambling place or online gambling site as long as they have accomplish all legal documents that are required like business permit thru local government and licence to operate from our games amusement board. Legalizing casino here will benefits the government of earning tax and unemployment was reduced.

What about placing bets on online gambling site, is that illegal too? Do you have such websites blocked in Indonesia?

Gambling is a human nature, but this nature is very harmful. Gambling should be regulated. In some countries, they strictly prohibit gambling, but it is also in these countries that their people are more likely to gamble. This is an interesting one. The more banned things are, the more attractive it is, so I think the best thing for anything is to regulate it properly, not to prohibit it all.

I think thinking should not be a problem about the opening of online casinos in the era of the Internet age. In my country, there is no one online casino, but many people join online casinos from other countries.

in this modern age is there any reason to be concerned about the law that applies in your own country? even if you plan to open the physical casino or you go abroad then get a lot of results.

For me, the casino is absolutely unacceptable ethically. Fortunately, casinos are banned in most developed countries. It seems to me that the casino can be compared to a strong drug...

It's also illegal in my county and I'm happy with that. All that silly gambling stuff is a weird thing, I dunno why people are going to Casino. Loosing all their money? Nice reason

Every country does have different policies about gambling and for my country (Indonesia) gambling is banned either real or via online,

Gambling activity in my country, Indonesia, currently includes illegal activities.

The fact that my country has set strict rules on gambling activities including casinos because of my country's devotion to religions that do not allow gambling activities including online casinos. All types of onlie casinos, room poker, bingo, etc. are prohibited in my country.

Here in the Philippines, casino is legal despite of the bad effects it brings to us. It is possible to happen because our government get a big amount of tax coming from it and that's a lot of contribution to government fund. But as far as i know, online casinos is not included in the legality; I say so because I heard a news (not 100% sure) about the action done by the Duterte (our president) administration which regards about the termination of oligarchy of online casinos.

@OP ~No offense but I think this topic is not appropriate here in this board since bitcoin has no correlation with it.

Its just right yet we are talking about law matters on here.

There are several online casinos which are illegaly operating even it is already being declared into their state that it is prohibited but i do see some countries which do recognize but mostly on physical gambling places yet they can really accumulate or impose taxes with it. If you dont like to suffer problems or hassle later on and as a gambling site owner or do have plans in building one then it would be more wise to ask this with lawyer residing on your place.

On the contrary, I lived wherein there are a lot of big casinos, and even government operated casinos. But there are a lot of illegal bookies still running around, Small Time Lotteries and other illegal betting operations. That's the irony of it, eventhough is perfectly legal to go to casinos here, people still opted to bet on underground and illegal one, although the government is doing its best to curb it out, but i don't think that they will be eliminated in our country, its deep rooted, in our culture so its going to be difficult to stop but at least it has been minimized because I for one is no longer betting on illegal horse race bookies. LOL.

In my country it is illigal.

It is in suspense my country that it is legal or illegal but mostly countries of Europe it may be legal. There should be fiat to tax.

In our country casino is not illegal it is widely legal. Of course there are laws that must be followed to be legal. The process should be in legal ways not under the table because we are now at the time of cleansing.

Same situation do happen on my country even having already have a legal or government operated casinos but still there are small gambling places lurks in the deep which is far from the awareness of the government itself.I dont know on whats the actual reason but as i presumed they are hiding because of possible tax into their business thats why they decide not to registered out themselves to avoid such thing. Stopping them would be hard as being said its already deep rooted no matter how you would able to caught a few of them but later on theres another one would come out.

You mean Bitcoin based casino or other currency based? In my country there are have no any casino platform.America,South korea and other big countries have more casino platform.Casino like as beting i think.

in india its illegal . its not possible to own a casino here.

now is the time of great progress in technologies, so you can do what you want, but if it illegal inside the country, you need to think how to earn money

when you are trying to do something new for yourself forget about the law of country, it was made only to have taxes from you

There are some casinos here in my country and it was owned by a foreign company. There are so many things to be done before you can start a casino.

I said the same you need to buy special licence from government which costs very much,So the price depends on region and the city,But you can also buy it with special conditions,at the same time don't forget the general rules before you start this business because there are too many regulations and restrictions everywhere,especially when its about age control or black lists for gamblers,etc...

Most countries bans the building of casinos, if your having a problem in your country because there is a law prohibiting it but your want to own a casino, better go to a country which legalizes it and go for gold, become rich! Do not be left behind because of the only reason that your country prohibits it.

A casino is a gaming industry, and its houses and accommodates lots of gambling activities. So, maybe your government and/or the citizens of your country don't like gambling. On the other hand, I know the use of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are allowed by your government and is not regulated by a legal act at present.

"Szymon Woźniak of the Ministry of Finance made an official announcement on the legality of bitcoin on 18 December 2013 at a conference at the Warsaw School of Economics stating that the Ministry of Finance does not consider bitcoin illegal and does not want to hinder its development.[131] He clarified that while not illegal, bitcoin cannot be considered legal tender, and, in the light of the directives of the European Union, it is neither electronic money." https://www.pb.pl/minfin-bitcoin-nie-jest-nielegalny-740041

Same is the case in my country as it is illegal we cannot own it or go and gamble anywhere or do it online. So due to which people when travel abroad they do gamble just for pleasure and enjoy the time spend in casinos for gambling.  In a way it is good and bad both as people who cannot control them self can lose out a huge amount of money in gambling,
