Just noticed the banner's on the site and I remembered last month in London I saw 'Betcoin' exhibiting along side all of the big players in the gambling world at the London Affiliates Conference in Earls Court. It was strange to see something which I considered so niche at such a mainstream event, and believe it or not the people who I was with had never even heard of Bitcoin! What struck me was the brazenness of exhibiting at an event like this.

I'm guessing they, or any Bitcoin gambling sites, don't have gambling licenses! Has there ever been a ruling on gambling with Bitcoin? They certainly wouldn't be exhibiting at any conferences in the US?! Seeing them there just didn't sit right with me, it sort of went against the whole Bitcoin anonomity ethos. I thought something similar when I saw an article about Predictious and the guy who owns the site gave what I believe to be his real name and location. Considering Intrade was shut down and suits filed against them by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission it's surely a foolish move by "Flavion Charlon"?!
