Title: UK Gambling licence needed for dice game? Post by: monsterer on October 15, 2013, 08:40:10 PM Hi guys,
Trying to work out if you need a licence to run a bitcoin dice game in the UK. Apparently, the gambling commission says that bitcoin does fall under the ir remit despite not being a currency, being 'moneys worth'. Looking at the gambling commission's site, it says you don't need a licence if all your equipment is based in the EU: http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/gambling_sectors/remote_eg_online_gambling/getting_a_licence-_what_you_ne/do_i_need_a_licence.aspx So the question is, would just getting an EU based server mean you don't need a licence? Anyone looked into this? Cheers, Paul. Title: Re: UK Gambling licence needed for dice game? Post by: pand70 on October 18, 2013, 01:42:51 AM You sould get an advise from a lawyer or something.
