Questions on my future bitcoin casino project!

[cho-cho-train]

Hey guys I'm new to everything, bitcoin, btc casino, this forum and etc.
After using a few bitcoin casino's i thought it would be nice if I start my own btc casino, and i figured out the script (gonna purchase one) but i couldn't figure some stuff out.
Here's a few questions I had:
 1. Do i need a license? How much is the license?
 2. Are we all sure it's legal?
 3. What kind of domain do i need to buy if I want to put my own script? (I heard there were a couple of different types of scrupts)

Crazy. There is a lot of competition already, and yeah, you will have to deal with legal loopholes if you want to use FIAT at all. Otherwise, idk, some of these sites operate without much of a legal basis, but I'm sure the successful ones like Fortune Jack have the proper documents.

It would also depend on where you live and where you plan to operate, i think.


You need a decent bankroll too. Otherwise you're going to have a difficult time getting people to even show up.

If you're serious, contact a lawyer... People might give you a lot of advice on this forum, or any forum for that matter, but it doesn't constitute as legal advice.

Even if you found a lawyer on this forum, you must realise the laws differ from country to country (or state to state), so running a casino hosted on a server in country A while you're in country B might be perfectly legal, while running the exact same casino but hosted in country X while you're in country Y might send you straight to jail.

Thanks for the advice, and not trying to prove anyone wrong here but according to some research i've done i heard btc casino's are completely legal due to the fact that people don't use real "money" but would btc and other cryptocurrencies considered "illegal"?

In some country's this statement will probably be correct, in other ones it'll be incorrect.
For example, a quick search on this forum diggs up this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299393.0

Too soon to make a decision ? I feel you should probably spend some time learning about bitcoins/bitcoin gambling in general.Starting a business without having a clear idea about how stuff works is big move,chances of failure are more.

Here's a few questions I had:
 1. Do i need a license? How much is the license?

Yes.you need a license in compliance with your country's jurisdiction.Your casino must obey the rules laid out by your nation's law authorities if at all they allow gambling.It's banned in most of the Asian countries,just so you know.

2. Are we all sure it's legal?

>Refer to ^answer.Depends on your jurisdiction.

3. What kind of domain do i need to buy if I want to put my own script? (I heard there were a couple of different types of scrupts)

Buy any domain.It isn't end there.Be ready for a heavy investment.Couple of 100 btc's if you're planning to make money out of it on a business level.

Learn. Research. Repeat. I think that's the best advice I can give you.

1. Depends on the country you're in. http://ezinearticles.com/?What-Countries-Allow-Online-Gambling&id=6667117
2. It depends. For instance, Bryan Micon was raided at gunpoint: http://www.pokernews.com/news/2015/02/seals-with-clubs-chairman-bryan-micon-police-raid-20740.htm
3. It's less about the domain name and more about the hosting. AWS and Azure don't allow gambling. You need a host that allows gambling with a private virtual server that allows you to pick your own OS.

Basic Security:
Follow a standard: https://cryptoconsortium.org/standards/CCSS
-Encrypt your whole disk (FIPS 140-2 or higher)
-Check your script for a backdoor, you're better off getting someone to code a new one for you from a trusted member.
-Don't allow any-any rules for your firewall (inbound or outbound)
-Run Qualys scans on your server
-Implement 2FA for users and admin.
-Don't use weak ciphers or weak hashes for passwords (MD5, SHA1)
-Encrypt transit data to your encrypted wallet
-Use cold wallets with watch addresses where possible
-Make sure your domain and hosting registrar won't change data without verifying your identity.
-Use a web application firewall
-Prepare for DDoS
-Don't trust any general support staff you bring on to manage security

Hey,

1. No you don't need a license since its going to be based on Bitcoin currency. If you accept fiat you need a license to operate. You may want to check out softswiss for licensing solutions
2. It's legal for now, there is no legislation that says that Gambling with bitcoin is illegal in any country as for now. But be careful with the US as they like to send the feds on. It's like a gray zone. You should hire a professional for this matters, you don't need to be asking in a forum if you have the funds to start a real bitcoin casino.
3. .com domain or any tld should do the work.

Anyways it all comes to what country you are resident in. I would be careful if you are in the US.

Bottom line: GET a good lawyer and professional help before launching a bitcoin casino. Some countries don't like them and they will want to go after you if you become big.

Good luck with your project!

1. If you are going to use ONLY bitcoin as payment then its depending on country. Most of countries do not require license for bitcoin casino. If you will accept fiat then YES you need a license on whole world.

2. If you are not going to scam people and choose proper country for it then yes its legal.

3. Don't understand what are you mean.

Actually, all the casino projects for now are outlaw, no goverment can control it, no government tax it at all so it leads the the problem that they're not under protected of any organization at all. So soon or later , this kind of business will get a big change to become legal. Gambling is a good way to provide a huge tax for goverment , they gonna find out a way to manage them and get more taxes. So legal or illegal it still can be accepted.

1. Do i need a license? How much is the license?

Most gambling sites these days do acquire a licence. If you dont have one then people may consider your site/business as shady.

2. Are we all sure it's legal?

That depends on what country yo are operating from and the countries the players are logging in the website from. It is illegal in many countries but I am sure there are many workarounds for this 

3. What kind of domain do i need to buy if I want to put my own script? (I heard there were a couple of different types of scrupts)

If you have some scripts to run make sure they are provably fair. That is the biggest part of any online casino and physical casino is that every roll should be random and that randomness should be verifiable by some online/offline roll verifier. Other than that dont buy any domain that is known scam to people.

Your questions have been well answered. So, I am focusing on something that has not been answered yet. This something is the horrible question: whether your imagined business is what really contributes to us. I have to tell you honestly that I cannot help with legal issues. However, I am sure there are other things I could help with. Before investing much more into the concept, we could test it with a small prototype. Why don't we build an early prototype with your script?

I have had a casino script writing service in the forum and people have not complained much about the results.
You can see a list of my past crypto projects at my current service thread.

If you are planning to run the casino software of softswiss, then yes, you need a license. And to know how much you need to pay for license, you should directly contact them. Most of the bitcoin casino sites use their software. About the legality, I don't have idea. But I think, it wont be a problem because bitcoin is not considered as money anywhere. But still you need to check your country policies for running the casino site.

Yes definitely,if you need people who could trust you with their money you need a license.It wouldn't be that difficult as lot of scam casinos are licensed anyway.

2. Are we all sure it's legal?
 3. What kind of domain do i need to buy if I want to put my own script? (I heard there were a couple of different types of scrupts)

- Depending on your country and jurisdiction.
 - You need to hire a developer to have something made from scratch.You cannot run a business on a script.Your competitors will eat you alive.

 1. Do i need a license? How much is the license?

Yes, and you will need it in every country you want to operate. Look at trueflip project - they are banned in USA and Russia (I cheked it for myself when wanted to invest), maybe at other countries too.

PS And you need to research the indusrty first.  Asking such questions you won't find investors.

[Manyara]

There are many decentralised online gambling platforms, only that majority are on Ethereum platform. You can start by research on these projects and see what you can do differently.
Wagerr
Augur
FunFair
vDice
Winsome.

Since you are new to bitcoin, just do extensive research and develop your idea from there.
