Betcoin.ag governed in Hong Kong or in Curacao or nowhere?


Based on what shall the alleged agreements with Betcoin.ag be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong?

How could “These Agreements” be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong, while online gambling is not allowed in Hong Kong? Does this make sense?

If the Betcoin.ag operation shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong, why do you need to irrevocably agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Curacao in The Netherlands Antilles for the settlement of any dispute or matters arising out of or concerning these Agreements or their enforceability?

Is the company who operates Betcoin.ag incorporated in Curacao and holds a worthless Curacao eGaming license?

If this is the case, what is the name of the company? Why is the name of the operator not stated on their website?

If Betcoin.ag has a valid license, why do they not state the seal on their website?

Do you feel comfortable to send your Bitcoin to something while you do not know who the operator is?

Would it matter for you if this something would have a gambling license, or do you not care at all?

You are right. Deposit money to a gambling site mainly depend on trust and not control. But why would anyone trust Timothy John Heath while he already embezzled player deposits?
Are you confident that they do not use player deposits for business expenses/promotions? If so, based on what?
Do you believe that they pay everything from their own pocket and have a profitable business model, while their promotions are too good to be true?
Does this make sense?

How do you know that there are users behind the user names mar******* and Mar*******?

Is it possible that 80% of the user names stated on their website could be fake user names to imply they give a lot of money away, have a lot of customers and motivate other potential customers to deposit their Bitcoins there (without any control whatsoever)?
