The lack of gambling license isn't something that deters me, enough popular Bitcoin casinos do not have a license.
but it should deter you as you literally have no protection against them in case of dispute. Gambling licenses weak as they might be ( some more some less ) still give you
some safety.
Those joints that have no money ( or dont bother to spent ) for a license should not be trusted. Especially knowing there is no audit
Please decribe the "some safety" licenses give to us players?
The only "safety" (I am aware of) licenses give is that the identity of the owner / operator of the site is known. So you could at least initiate legal action.
But based on my experience, almost no victim has interest to spend money and try to enforce his claim! Even if they could do this cost free, there is almost no interest!
So the only sense of a license is:
1) Mislead the existing and potential customers that the site would be supervised and it is safe (like you already misleaded the community with your statement).
2) Gives the site a legal frame for the Fiat money processors.
3) Possibility to operate almost tax free.
4) Make it more costly for victims to claim their money with the several jurisdictions involved.
