Running an online Bitcoin gambling website

[abel1337]

In almost all countries where BTC is legalised, tax needs to be declared this is irrespective of your earnings. So say, even if you got a way running a casino without a license then you'll still get in trouble when cashing out even if you don't declare it as the amount you'll be dealing will be of a high volume which will flag the authorities anyways. So the bottom line is that you do need a license to operate the casino, otherwise you will run into trouble.

^ Definitely right, running the Bitcoin gambling website without a license will make your business stop operation once it was caught by the authority. I may suggest is hire a lawyer, because when it comes to jurisdictions in which country they are more knowledgable than us. Spend the little amount of money for the license to avoid the possible problem in the future,

That's right, It might not be cheap but it is required for the owner to have their license on their gambling site especially if your gambling site has a great traffic from the gamblers, You will be tracked whether you like it or not, Much worst if your gambling were taken down, The problem will be serious that there's a possibility that you will lose the trust of the gamblers playing on your gambling site.

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.

Online gambling is completely legal for players to gamble in Canada, but it is illegal for people in Canada to operate or run within Canada, so i think if you really wanted to run your own online gambling you should be located in countries like Singapore and other places in the U.S. with a licensed because you cannot operate without any license.

It will be best and legible to have a license to operate a Bitcoin gambling site because running such website that is based on playing gambling which will obviously involve money will need a license to operate because if you will not be having a license, it can be considered as illegal gambling which will put you into serious cases regarding that one. Even if it is a gambling site that will be using cryptocurrency, I think it is still in need to have a license for legality purposes and to prove that you are legally running a gambling site because legitimacy is one of the elements online gamblers are looking for before getting engage into it since crypto is also a value currency like fiat. I do not know anything about laws in Canada regarding operation of online gambling site so I think you need a lawyer for legal issues like that.

In my knowledge, if the site is hosted in a country that doesn't restricts online gambling then players who access that site and plays online gambling will be violators and gambling site itself will not get any penalties because the government doesn't have jurisdiction of the site.

But i think it's better to consult the devs and lawyers if they have other perspective to the case.

Do you mean that every players are violators and only the gambling site owner is not? Or what you mean is that when a gambling site is hosted in a country which don't have a jurisdiction about prohibiting it, and a player from a country which has a jurisdiction of not allowing their people to gambler such as those that are in the middle east will be violators of their law and will be punished. That is quite reasonable compared to say that players who will access will automatically violate it.

But i think it's better to consult the devs and lawyers if they have other perspective to the case.

Well, that still complicated, gambling site owner should consult to devs and lawyers specific to what country they are planning to build their gambling platform. That is because, different country has different laws specifically about gambling (physically or through digital means).

Players who want to play gambling but he afraid of breaking the law, he can try to use VPN to hide his IP when he wants to visit on the gambling site. I think so far, we don't have a problem with playing online gambling, and we can free to playing online gambling. I think if you want to run the crypto gambling site, you need to find a host which allow gambling, and the site will not have a problem with the law in the country. But the gambling site will need a license from the law to running the gambling website.

Yes, using VPN is the usual strategy of most gamblers if he wants to hide his IP. Also, the OP can look about acquiring gambling license in Estonia, I think they have loose regulations over there, if he wants to run the online casino with at least gambling license attached to it. Also, the Curacao Online gambling license, as it is quick and inexpensive, though I don't know how much is being inexpensive. With gambling license attached to your online casino, you put another level of security to your players. They will trust you more if you have one.

Somehow, I prefer with the Curacao Online gambling license because I see some gambling website use that license. Maybe he can try to contact and use it for his website. With having a gambling license on his website, that will gain more customer to come because you have a valid license that can give them trust in playing online gambling at your site. People will see his website will be a legit gambling site, but he still needs to provide the best services to them, so they don't disappointed

Yes that is exactly what i meant only people who lives in a country that prohibits gambling will receive punishment but the gambling won't receive penalties especially when the country that the gambling is hosted in legalized in gambling. So business such as gambling sites wouldn't have to worry about a lawsuit.

Instead the users if they're found out they'll surely go to jail so it's really recommended to use VPN.
