For example running an online gamble site

I believe Curaçao, A lot of casino websites have their gambling license from that Country and it also seems to be easy to obtain.

If you pay taxes all are legal! The problem is witch are the lowest ones! And a search on google gives you the answear!

i think still no a single country is consider bitcion as officially legal currency, but still not a single country still given any statement about bitcoin and to consider it as illegal currency. therefore people are using it freely.

No, that's not true. Gambling is still either monopoly in some countries or forbidden completely. However there's no place for Bitcoin in law right now, so you can run a site from almost anywhere. Internet is full of everything you can find.

If you are running an online site, you have to worry about which country your users are from as well.
There is a reason why some websites block US IP addresses.

Just use a off-shore hosting provider that remains online 99.9% of the time and have backup's ready just in case you have to relocate your database to a new host.

Try Sweden

as gambling is illegal in some countries like most of the Asian countries and all most all Islamic Countries, but still there are so many other countries and specially in Europ and USA where gambling is legal and you can legally visit a casino for playing gambling.

f you are starting a crypto related casino (online) the you can start it from any country without any worry as with crypto payment system no one will trace your location and you will face no any hurdle from any state.

Wouldn't this be incorrect ? I remember sites like Justdice had to be shut down because of problems in the country the developer was from.

i think there are so many countries in Europe where gambling is legal and no banned on it.

The Netherlands I guess because for the simple reason of allowing prostitutes and weeds to be legal in their country.  Another guess would be Macau because there were lot of casinos there.  And I think you can still put up a gambling site whether it is illegal or legal in any parts of the world.

to me in present time i think all countries are legal because still not a single country consider bitcoin a illega and therefore every one is using bitcoin freely and still  not a single person is caught by the government.

i think still thee are so many countries which are legal for gambling like UK, Germany, Italy etc, but still in majority of countries gambling is not legal and is banned.

no i am not agree with you, there are so many countries where gambling is totally banned and you are allowed to play gambling or open a casino for gambling and specially in Muslim countries gambling is totally banned and is consider it as sin.

Maybe Macao and Cambodia. Both of these area are very close to my country. However, gambling is considered illegal in my country. Sadly, when almost every developing countries allow its people to gamble, my country is still conservative

For running an online gambling site all of the countries are safe you can easily run your casino in any country if you want it to be only online as with bitcoin payment none of the government will find you but in those countries where bitcoin will be ban you will not be able to withdraw your money.

yes that is a fact that gambling is illegal in most of the countries, and specially in Muslim countries it is totally banned, but still there are some developing countries where gambling is legal and there people play gambling freely.

yes that is a fact, and i think in those countries where casinos are legal and  you can run a casino legally there gambling is legal. as casino are the places where people play gambling, so if casino is legal then gambling will automatically legal there.

What is your country,while Macau and Cambodia can be close to you both

In China and in Monaco its legal. Taxes are required of course but all that goes to the people, not in some black market. I think its right.

I am not sure which ones are allowed but I know that USA is not allowed for online gambling and I do not really know why because they are the biggest gambling country in the world money wise with Las Vegas making the most out of any casino in the world. :-X

the government protect his business. 

Online is V.S.  Offline.

if you can easily bet online with fairness, you will not got to Las Vegas for small bets.

just bet in your bedroom . or in bed

In Bulgaria people always find back doors in law rules. My point is that until few years ago it was absolutely normal to bet online and the number of companies offering were increasing all the way to the max:) It's not secret that people here like to gamble with everything. Unfortunately for these people the law was changed ( not quite sure how exactly ) but betting companies decreased in times. One friend of mine lost large amount of money that way:) Even though i believe that the way.

In Canada it is not prohobited but you have to get a licence. The same holds for France and the UK. When I looked at statistics I fot surprised that it is illegal in so many countries, because people gamble anyway. In Israel were is a funny situation with it. Gambling is prohibited unless it is Israeli national lottery and Sports Gambling controlled by the government.

This is internet. Everything can be traceable. You have a chance to not to be revealed if you just hold your bitcoins but as soon as you create a website and open a casino... It is over. You reveal yourself. It is not a big deal unless you do an incredibly illegal stuff though. Just setup a vpn system and make your payments with bitcoin and you will be fine.

Thus it really matter that gambling to became legal? i think in las vegas gambling was legal but not in terms of cryptocurrency.i think there is no legal form of gambling sites in the internet. just make sure that your not greedy to gamble all you have. just take the risk what ever you can afford to lose. tracing you via IP address is possible but i think doing gambling online was more safe than going to the real place like casino.

As I know there aren't many countries were gambling is legal. A colleague told me that Australia laws permit online gambling. I cannot confirm that and as all of us know what is permitted today is prohibited tomorrow. Furthermore there are countries with more lenient laws in sport betting if the owners of these sites pay taxes in these countries.

I don't know much about which country is legal for gambling, but seem like Macau allowed any gambling activity out there since it is a vegas of asia, in my country it is illegal either online gambling or in real life, however in some countries gambling especially online gambling is not regulated, well with internet power and anonymous of the cryptocurrency i can bet online without worries.

Gambling in italy and greece legal and gambling many times, it was not a problem and I would recommend, but why not ask?

Here at Simon's Online Gambling Blog (https://simonsblogpark.com/onlinegambling/simons-guide-online-gambling-legal-status-laws/) you can find detailed information with nice interactive map.

I think almost all countries in Europe and America have legalized gambling, not just limited to the city. We can see that the gambling sites became the official sponsor of the sports club such as soccer, basketball, boxing and so on. In addition, the gambling sites are also free to advertise in a variety of official media, it is certainly beneficial for the country, because it could get taxes from gambling.

I heard almost all of these online bitcoin casinos obtain a license from there. The laws must be very lax that anyone can get one from there. Even if you sign up your dog he will get one I bet! :D

Curacao is an island nation so I would think it is legal there since it is part of the netherlands and governed by their laws.

There are still many cities in the European countries where gambling is illegal and some are planning to get it banned. It is limited to cities too while online gambling websites like poker were considered illegal sometime back. The laws for online gambling differs a lot from offline casinos and here in my country India, online gambling is also considered illegal and punishable but some websites have got a license like Rummy. Don't know what exactly is the law.

what is the reason for blocking US IP addresses.Is it illegal to gamble online in America ?


Even in India it all depends upon what laws specific states has. If you look at goa gambling is legal and you could find casinos over there.i am not sure about the rest of the regions.May be Rummy sites do take gaming license as there are no specific rule regarding that i guess.If at all if there is anything its not clear and i am sure there are loop holes in our law :)

North Best Korea.

Gambling will be legal if the online gambling or casino pay their taxes in government thats how gambling can be legal.

Casino site owners wouldn't mind doing it.They can bribe a bunch of corrupt government officials to save taxes as well as get permissions.

Yep i agree with you there are so many corrupt goverenment officials in  each countries. But there are some countries gambling is totally banned so there is no need to bribe. If i have a casion site i prefer to pay taxes than to be illegal

I'm sure there are some countries where gambling is legal. To my knowledge the state where gambling is legal, and become a great gambling places in my opinion is Las Vegas , China, Australia. It is a country where gambling is legal and most of the people like to gamble. I'm sure some of the biggest online gambling sites come from the country.

Gambling must be a legal activity under state control.
However, because it is a clear structure, it can be used to raise illegal money.
Illegal income can be shown as gambling gain.
For this reason,
They do not want casinos to be part of the country's economy.

If casinos like las vegas/macau is necessary legality. Because it provides places and buildings. But I think isn't necessary for website.

In fact, almost every country has an illegal gambling sites with large members, and the government just smile and pretend not to know. That doesn't mean a corrupt government. But they tend to move if there is a lot of disturbing reports, or news became virallity in various media.

We need to see one thing. Each one gambling site was closed because of law, it always appears five new sites with same system. That proves there are some government officials/retired generals who were involved in the site. I rarely saw the gambling sites owner were arrested, mostly just punish the gambler.

Most of the countries will not support gambling because there is high risk involved in it, some government will not support for easy money because out of 100 only 10% people will win the gambling. Gambling is nothing but rotating money in between the people but if government support online website for gambling better you will get licence from the government and they will provide some instruction according to that you need to run the gambling site.

Gambling I can say that there should be a legal activity, there are many countries that are in state control. There are a few countries or even more that we can count on our own.

Las Vegas, USA

London, England

Monte Carlo, Monaco

How many countries can I say one of them.

In all my searches, I have not seen any country that has fully and boldly came out to say 'hey our country is open for gambling without some conditions' even google might not be of much help as the suggestions given will be where the cost of licences can only be afforded by large corporations. My guess is you should contact admin of reputable sites if anyone can be of help.

Here is a nice map showing online gambling legality.

http://s1.postimg.org/ilpebouen/online_casino_map.png

As you can see in Europe, Canada and large parts of Africa, South and Central America gambling is legal.
You can find some more data here:

I think there's a change, and now a lot of countries that approve and legalize gambling, because of the changing times, many countries that were once banned gambling finally legalize now. The country legalized gambling to my knowledge are: USA, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Singapore and so on.

I think the country must immediately legalize gambling, in the era of technological advancement and information like this now, of course, makes the rules and the ban on gambling is worth it. better legalize gambling and then state income tax be increased from gambling.

Yes indeed legalize gambling will increase state revenues, and it was great to reach over 10%. But what about the Muslim-majority country? Countries that have a Muslim majority population would have banned gambling because it is against their religion. They do not care about the state income or technological progress because it can be obtained in any other way, because they would maintain their religious traditions. So I think the country has a majority Muslim population or a Muslim country would forever banned the gambling.

Once if they legalize gambling government will many problems from people because even children will start gambling with bitcoin and as well as fiat currency. Now many countries are telling that alcohol should be taken by the above 18 years age, but still shop keepers are selling to below 18 years people. How can we identify these things happening in market.

Government will not directly supports the gambling because there is high risk involved in it. Suppose if give licence to for setting up gambling means, they need keep some specific rules the in the form of minimum investing and below 18 years are not allowed to gamble. In this way government can restrict some people.

when i researched it on google the countries that legal in gambling are Europe and Russia the legal on this countries are those online casino gambling, online poker. Just online legal gambling in their countries.

indeed in some states allow gambling either real or via online as long as they adhere to the regulations applied in this country, for example by paying taxes to their government, such as in the European countries Canada, Africa and America legalize gambling in the state, but not the least the state prohibiting gambling and gambling in this country I absolutely forbidden either real or online, and if the online gambling over the internet will get a warning positive internet, but I want to know why if gambling via online by using bitcoin no warning about internet positive

Only a few countries will allow gambling as legit, there are many countries still not allowing gambling sites in offline. But people from their countries are still paying online gambling without any problems, maybe in future governments will authorize the license for online gambling.

No country prohibits online gambling unless they received report of fraud such as misappropriation of funds from an investment multiple people to play on gambling sites. If the address of a gambling site is blocked, there are many ways to access the website and this is not the right solution.

Overall offline gambling is legal in many countries that are not so dependent on elements of a particular religion (capitalism and liberal).

I can see a lot of red there, according to what I think, because I felt there would be only a few countries where gambling is legal.

I think gambling is legal in Cyprus because I have seen some sites that has got cyprus location address. By the way for starting a bitcoin online gambling site,I dont think there will be any problems. Because most of the countries havent accepted bitcoin as a legal currency . In most of the gambling restricted countries, gambling with money is not allowed. Since bitcoin is still not considered legally as money,one can easily gamble with bitcoins and there wont be any problem, in my opinion.

In fact, they're several online gambling with dice or roulette in which you can pay with Bitcoin, but I think that whoever wants to build a site of this type should investigate very well the regulations to avoid problems and that users can fully trust

Which country is legal for gambling ? Spain, Greece, Norway, Hong Kong, Italy, Canada, Singaporeans, Finland, Ireland and Australia.

To the best of my knowledge, aside those countries that are mostly denominated by Muslims or ruled by Islamic laws otherwise known as Islamic states, all other countries accepts gambling with conditions the most common being the minimum age requirement and some licences to run which is mostly expensive as to the online game, the most important is to get an hosting site that cares less what you do with your site. That's all.

The better way to run a gambling site is by paying taxes to the government, even though it is an illegal activity government will support us. But we have to alert people by setting a notice board like " Don't risk your money". It is their wish whether to gamble or not.

Paying taxes to the government you will run a casino "safely", without the feat to have the site closed, be arrest, pay traffic ticket... But the casino owner and operators profit will be lower and probably the investors return would be lower also.

These alerts about "provably fair", "play wisely", "Don'r risk your money" must be placed on every site, being official or not.

Many country are legal  for gambling ...Bt i tell you top five gambling country ..such as
1.Macau, China
2.Las Vegas, U.S.A
3.Atlantic City, U.S.A
4.Monte Carlo, Monaco
5.London, England
