How legal is to create betting/gambling site?

[aakashsangwan]

In my country gambling is heavily restricted and frowned upon. Online gambling is in its infancy stage. Only one state has permitted online gambling to a few sites. As far as bitcoin is concerned, we do not have any law on bitcoins but it's use is not appreciated. Different countries have different stand on bitcoins, if you are interested in creating a gambling site then you need to check your local laws.

Here noone knows about it really or cares much. Gambling is legal but advertising it on tv is not.
Where you from that gambling is so heavily restricted ?

As you are asking him to provide the name of his country,

I would also like to ask to you where did you get the information that gambling is legal, we still do have parts in our world where gambling is restricted, like bangladesh, brunei, pakistan, china, hong kong japan, malaysia, singapore, vietnam and more.

You cant say that gambling is legal, if you want to make sure of those countries try to check on google.

Thank you for support! But you forgot to mention India.

I belong to India. It is not only heavily restricted but also supposed to be highly immoral. Just three states are known to have casinos, though others might have some but they are not openly known.

I think a lot of the countries are now standing on the fence for btc. They will see how other countries deal with it before they made their own decision. However, for gambling, this is mainly disapproved or discouraged in most country. Even if you have to open a official casino, there are tons of strict rules that you have to follow.

yeah, and I think investors will also try to look for some other investors who had started an online gambling that uses bitcoins as a currency in their network if it becomes profitable.

And definitely all countries have strict laws and rules when it comes to gambling, even those countries allowed gambling in it, so better before building any gambling website or gambling place in your country especially china, as what the thread starter said, he should need to consult an attorney or a lawyer in regards to his question here.

Yeah also they need license or their business with a proper regulation.. honestly its very hard to start a business like this locally unlike you are making a website and start your own business online you don't need license unless if you are using paypal or other usd payment.. unlike bitcoin anytime you can start your own gambling business anonymously..

I think to create our gambling site is not a problem if you have enough money means you can hire some developers and create your casino site, but the main issue is your account. Yes, many countries government will consider gambling as illegal, so if you show any bank account here, they catch you so here it is the main problem otherwise it is very easy.

Hello.

I'm thinking about creating own gambling site. Do I need license for that? Does anyone have experience in this field?

If you are serious about opening a gambling site and need someone to give you a really experienced advice, contact Stunna(owner of PD).
You can check some regulation comparison here : http://www.gamblingsites.com/online-gambling-jurisdictions/.
afaik due to difference inbetween the laws, it doesn't only matter in which country you are registered, but also from what country the users are playing from,
so it's not as easy as one would assume at first hand.

But for sure important is where is server with your gambling site!

Do you know in which countries, servers with gambling service is allowed?

If you are really serious about this, you will pay for advice. Getting cheap advice is not always a good thing. Especially when you are planing to earn money. In order to make it, you need to invest it first.

To me OP is not looking like some serious investor, maybe I'm wrong but we will see soon will he make some new casino site.
My advice is simple, check how other casino works, and try to invest much as possible in your site. Don't use cheap things.

Added to that in most of the countries, gambling is totally illegal, how will those guys make a gambling site then ? I think there is no need of licenses when you are creating a light gambling site for bitcoins. Though you might get n trouble later so be careful.

[FLoving]

You can start an online casino without any license for online small business no one care about any tax and any license, and you will not face any problem because of that, but the issue will be that less people will trust on that.

A few years ago when bitcoin wasn't that popular there was pretty much no regulation. Right now since its gaining popularity many countries are forming some kind of regulation. So you need to consult a lawyer first in your country.

But if you buy server in country where this regulations don't exist and use VPN problem will be solved.. i guess?

So one more time i ask if anyone know which countries have not regulations about that?

Yes, you should care full once your government know that you are doing illegal business means they will hand over it. So if you have money create your casino then create it in which place gambling is legal to see there are many sites are there so check that where it hosted in that country this is legal so where you comforted in that place you can host your site.

The best choice for him is that he do not have to open an official casino if it is not allowed in his country but he should have to start a small online casino/gambling site and with that he can earn a good amount of profit as a lot of people nowadays like to join gambling/casno.

If he starts an online betting site and use bitcoin as its payment system and currency then no one will now about him that who is the admin of the casino, and his state will also not know that he is starting a casino.

nope i think you do not need to ask permission in a country. Internet no country can impose a tax or certain rules. yeah they could do to block users from their country to go to your site. but the user can use the vpn. You do not need to ask permission of any government

[DomesticTrader]

Its really depending in what country you are living and what kind of rules they are having there for this.
In some country's it can be done easily and at some not at all.

[Ares]

IT depends on your country if gambling is legal or illegal but you can make your own business online even its illegal in your country
That you can use fake information and country. About in license i think some gambling site there has no license
If you interested to make your own you start in moneypot....

If you have long term serious plan to run an online gambling site you should use proper channel.Which means proper channel is you should get license which is not very costly it will provide you legal safety in case of some unexpected situation.Same time you will be able to promote and expand your gambling business.It is illegal to run such business without license.

Though I think running a small dice site would not need all the licenses and others. I was planning to runs a dice site but then compromised with just investing in casinos.

creating a gambling site can be illegal in some countries based on their rules about gambling and more importantly about using bitcoin in your business or even starting an online gambling. so it differs from country to country.

although you can always use an offshore hosting and with bitcoin stay fully anonymous if you want to escape the rules
