Running an online Bitcoin gambling website

[MWesterweele]

There are countries that will host a gambling site even if they do not have a license provided that you have an office over the server are on that region, I am not very familiar about setting up a gambling site but it only pays to get a lawyer, a lawyer can give you a sound advice and it will take care and explain all the problems that will come and how you can deal with it.

Yes, a legal advice is needed in this case, every country has their own law regarding gambling, even local lottery has their own rules and regulations needed to obey, if you want to have a gambling website online, better to prepare your files first, hire a programmer that will maintains the security of the website to avoid any problems , and to  prevent hackers , in that way you can run online gambling without any issues.

How if you can find the hosting provider that will allow gambling running in their server? If yes, maybe you can visit on https://uncensoredhosting.com/gambling-hosting/ to read and find out which hosting provider that would enable gambling in their server. But unfortunately, I don't know which website from that list that can be your choice, so you need to find by yourself. The list has 10 hosting providers, and you can visit one by one of the hosting providers to find what you need.

Established an online gambling platform has never been an easy task. For sure, you could purchase the gambling website script from various sources for few bucks and develop it into your own platform but it would not complete your work. You need to have proper security, fair games, decent number of gamblers on the platform and much more.

If you have any plans to launch the gambling platform than your mainstream income would be from the gamblers and imagine if there is no one ready to gamble on your platform than what would be the use of creating this gambling platform? So prior thing to do would be to attract few gamblers and convince them to use your platform by placing few attractive offers for them. Huge capital would be needed to make this into a profitable running gambling platform.

Seeking professional advice for this matter should really be your first priority so that you would be aware on what are the currents laws so that you will avoid or proceed on what it would be.

When everything is cleared out and confirmed that you can make and operate on your own.Then, development is in next line and of course you should really be concern or in your top priority
when it comes to security.

Lots of gambling sites nowadays doesnt have a license but do freely operating.

And that translates to the fact that he needs a good amount of bank roll because if the players become aware that there is small or no bank roll in place, they will get out as soon as they can. That is because, the chance of not paying the winnings is very high.

But yes, before anything else, if he is serious about putting up a legal operating casino, he should see a lawyer that knows about the laws in his country. It would really take so much effort and resources to build one. The substandard casinos without license will not gain players in the long run. So why not start it in legal and right way?

When it comes to trying to create a new casino you are basically facing 4 different problems, the first is the license, where are you going to get the license to run a casino, the second issue is the money, you need a lot of money to start a casino, you need to pay for the license, the website, the servers and the bankroll, the third issue is how to secure the funds of your players since hackers will try to steal the money from the casino and finally you are trying to enter in an established industry that is already saturated with casinos and many do not get enough clients to sustain their operations.

yes that is all true but i think the op isnt concerned of other factors that you mentioned but he is only more concerned of the license and the legality of the gambling on thier country   . since you mentioned the money or the funds already  ,  funds is also the most important aspect before anything else because he cant obtained a license without a fund right  ?  it could take lots of time and money to go thru a process of getting a licensed  whether offline or online gambling site .

I know that he is worried about the license and that is correct but there are many other issues with running a casino, getting the license is just the first step and there are even more issues that I did not even thought at the time I gave my answer, one of the most important is the software you are going to run in your casino, the games need to be fair otherwise you could be accused of rigging the games, or even worse, a smart player could find a pattern and then bankrupt your casino if he is able to win more than what he should by chance.

Indeed. Sometimes there are smart players who studies first a real and great strategy to bankrupt a certain casino and that is the one of the biggest problem you will face if you run a casino so if they are smart, you should be smarter than them in order for you to be successful in your casino. You should think a lot of tricks that they can't easily think so that you could protect your casino from bankruptcy.

Tricks doesnt work if we do talk on a fully operational casino site and it is free from bugs or whatsoever. No one beats the house on any way
unless if theres exploit which can be abused on then thats an another story.Therefore, before launching you should really take into consideration
when it comes to security and backdoor thingy because this problem can really give out big problem to your business.
Back to topic about licensing then this would need some professional advice locally.

I have a few questions regarding running a Bitcoin gambling website online.

I am located in Canada. So I'm not sure if it's legal for me run a site like this online from within Canada.

If it is legal for me to host the site else where, where is it possible for me to host it and do I need to get it licensed or it's okay to operate without a license since it's crypto.

Even if there is a chance that you can run one without a license I still going to advise you to get one, so your online gambling casino will run without any issue in the future, it's better to have one than none at all you never know what's going to happen in the future, and the worst thing that can happen is to have a legal issue.

Don't be complacent. Don't run an online casino without permits, even you are running on cryptocurrencies. Seek advice from local personalities available that are knowledgeable of the risks and pre-requisites of running one in your local state. Also, don't rush things, and make testings to make sure your casino won't be abused and bankrupted by some strategies.

[darewaller]

If you operate your casino without license as it might be in terms of cryptos where the government can't track the transactions to imply you to get licensed but you would not get much response for such a casino. People needs to be secured about the games they play and hence each gambler including me would choose a platform which is licensed and probably fair.

You can consult your CA to get some more legal information about launching a casino in your region. You would also need to set-up a office space where you could store the credentials and you could run the platform from that place. You would need to be centralized if you wish to get licensed and for it you would need to show each and every transaction/bet to the authorized parties in order to get you a license.

Yes ! in every country there will be a law that regulate the gambling in each country, in every business that you will make, you need to apply all the necessary documents so that it would not be a hassle soon,if the government notice your business, once you establish it. Also, players don't want to play in an illegal casino , they might go to jail or lose their fund once the government raids your office where you develop the website.

Yes! especially that the mode of payment is crypto in which not all the government are aware and not all of the local governments approves that and they know how does it works, papers must be submitted.

Wanna know if running a site that is an online gambling is legal in Canada? Simply, hire a lawyer and ask them if it is legal to set up an online gambling site in your country and if there is some requirements in order to set up this kind of business like for example business permits or other necessary papers that may need by your online gambling business.

Did you really think its a good idea to come up over the forum and ask for legal advice from random people on the internet? You would get better answers if you google your question instead of asking over here.
You are talking about legal stuffs. Hire a lawyer and take his advice. Different state have different laws. Only your lawyer can help you answer your questions. If you need license or not, it totally depends on the laws of the country you will be hosting your casino from.

[doomistake]

I don't think so, there are no countries as such that will let anyone to run an online or actual casino without any license, if there is, I would be happy if you are going to provide some proof that they really exist. Having a license means that you are running a legal gambling business, meaning you agree to have a trustworthy behavior and have a fair gaming policy.

I am not very familiar about setting up a gambling site but it only pays to get a lawyer, a lawyer can give you a sound advice and it will take care and explain all the problems that will come and how you can deal with it.

I'd rather get a license if ever I wanted to run a casino online to avoid consequences in the long run, than having an attorney in which you are going to pay every single time that you are going to consult him what to do or if you are already in the court and you need some savior thing to save your ass from getting in jail.

This forum is not capable of answering your legality question. I would recommend you to consult a lawyer. Do not waste your time here asking such questions, no one can answer that.

Starting a casino with legal help would never be a cheap task to be done. OP would need huge funds in order to state his presence in the gambling industry. OP would really need to gather a huge number of people who can support him in starting with the gambling platform.

Even online gambling platforms needs license and if anyone operates a casino or a gambling website without license than the government from the residing country of the one behind building the platform might even be sentenced and the gambling website or the casino might be shut down forever which would give a huge loss in this situation. That's why it is always necessary to consult legal advisers before taking any such huge step.

[bering]

I think lets ruled out first about the lisence which you used for your gambling site and the most important to starting it you have to know and ensure crypto status in your country Canada whether it allowed to build casinos based on crypto or it's forbidden so consult first to the authorities would be good because if you already know about it then you can thinking next steps would you made

that is why he is asking here because OP knows that there are bunch of people here that has a lot of knowledge and experience about creating a gambling site,because there are many Gambling owner that is active right here.
and besides before seeking for license he must learn first the legality of gambling in His place because what is the sense of license if he cannot be allowed having company in His country.

I think he will need to search the permission from his local authorities about creating or running a casino online. Maybe the local authorities will not have a problem with the real casino, but the casino that he wants to build is on the internet, so I think it's beyond their jurisdiction. But I am sure that the local authorities will give an explanation about what he wants to he will get the answer before he creates his gambling site. It is better if he can get legality for his gambling site so he won't have a problem in the future.
