How legal is to create betting/gambling site?

[Supercrypt]

Hello.

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

It really depends on what country you are from and the local laws. Pretty much impossible to say without knowing where you are from but i can say that most gambling sites are not registered. Especially the smaller ones (new sites that pop up and for example moneypot apps). So i would not worry too much about it

This is not true. Even though small websites don't bother about their license, that is because they have an intention of scamming and can any time turn bankrupt like the other websites shut down leaving users losing all their investments. To open a gambling website, the user neesd to check the laws associated and if the site is illegal, it can be seized any time.

if you want create an official site be cautious with taxes fee and license because some country could ban your site and treat you as out law

I think when it comes to legal matters its best if you ask your local legal representatives. They will be able to point you into right direction. If you're serious about doing this then you have to take the proper road.

In the internet, nothing's illegal. But in the real life, there is some law from a country

If nothing illegal on the internet, why there are some gambling site does not accept players from some countries? It means that you're wrong on it, not all thing is legal on the internet.

That's true as many gambling websites make users sign the T&C where it is mentioned that the user belongs to a country where gambling is legal. Found an article: https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2007/june/gambling_060607

@OP: You may want to check this site as it has few simple steps that need to be followed if you plan to open a gambling website: https://everymatrix.com/blog/start-online-gaming-business.html (It does require you to own a license).

in my opinion it should be pretty legal do it without a licence in a country that has no regulations about bitcoin though those are just my thoughts i can not guarantee that

[fravia]

it might be illegal in my opinion, because all casinos need to have licences as its kind of a business that will possibly earn you a lot of money, i think you should contact the lawyers for this question

Without telling us where you are located, I am afraid no one can give you an appropriate opinion. TBH, if you want to get some serious legal advice, you should consult a local lawyer instead of asking here.

[vendetahome]

its illegal, at least in my country if i get all the regulations right, though if you are planning to be very successful it will not cost you too much to buy the licence, though thats a really big risk

[buyinbtc]

i doubt that you will find the right answer on this forum because of the variety of countries people live in and because the law in every one of them is different, you should check for help in your town somewhere

True, it's a big risk.Remember that if you have such a site you will become noticed by hackers too.
Protecting the site will cost you a fortune.

Not only in your country but in most of the countries it is not allowed. But for this business license is must whether you're business will be success or not but it will be quite safe to avoid any future issues. Try to get one license wherever it is easy to get. Good luck for your new business adventure.

Most gambling sites are in profit and there is almost no way for a site to ankrupt as long as there isnt any exploit on the site because every gambling sites have house edge to make sure the house win in long term . Most legal things doent always end in good way, example of this is garza and crypsty exit scam attempt

depends on your country law regulations. but safest way is to contact someone who is working with law and he will tell you what you can or can't (and he will prob make you pay something for his time)

All information regarding legal status of online gambling sites can be found on the internet if you know where to look.
If Op would be kind enough to share his whereabouts  with us we could easily tell him what is legal status of creating gambling website.
You don't need to be skilled lawyer to find about this stuff.

If you are aware that he is going to be opening a gambling sites then the last thing he would need to do is to share his whereabouts since it will backfire to him someday. It doesnt really matter where he is coming from as long as he can hide his identity then he should be fine without any license at all

[ajrah]

Depends if your country allows such operation. If you know the law in your coutry and see loop holes then that can be used to defend your self specially in countries where online gambling is not yet regulated. Question is what countries are those?

Gambling should be legal in your jurisdiction and moreover a lot and in fact tons of paper work is needed , if you want to run a proper site. While if you want just a small site, you can start right away with the permission of legal members

In legal way,yeah license is necessary dude but i think very few gambling sites have license and most are build just buy registering domain,buying hosting,buying SSL and uploading some scripts
You can create your own gambling for sure but before that know that you need to do a lot of promotion and investment to make it a success because there is huge competition in gambling sites
