flag my last message, I came across a business that already does this for lol and cs:go so I have forwarded the information to jared to see if he can strike a deal with them
Official DigiByte will not get involved with this because they are based in Hong Kong and they have very restrictive laws for gambling there.
There is absolutely nothing stopping anyone else from implementing dgb into one of these platforms, so I'd go back to making it a community project if you want to see this happen.
I am aware of this, but talking to them about using dgb as an additional payment platform is not illegal, as it is arms length away and the official dgb team has nothing to do wit the site
it would however increase dgb adoption as the people who have earned dgb while playing would have a place they could go use the dgb
I am actually from HK and lived there most of my life, I know the rules around gambling there, as I have mentioned in previous posts, but getting dgb accepted as a payment platform is not the DIGIBYTE team running a gambling site
or people from the community could put together a package about why they should accept digibyte, including things like the amount of players currently earning dgb. this site I found would be. perfect match for dgb
I must apologise though, my wording could have been better, by strike a deal, I meant chat with them and maybe help them implement DGB as a payment platform, I in no way intended for The dGB team to get involved in any way other then that
sure. you can talk to them about it and i think its perfectly alright provided its all your (or some other party's) doing. but in terms of getting anything done that requires their involvement (Jared and his DigiByte Team) or any hands-on-work (including promotion or marketing or partnership or collaboration or
deals, etc), they won't do anything that has to do with betting, gambling, etc. it will just curb their capabilities to develop DigiByte overall because of what they have gotten into IF they are to. As for helping, they will probably just direct you to whatever digibyte-related resources that are already available on the internet such as github, etc. but to get their hands involved with coding for ya (or whatever parties) to do such and such, tricky...very tricky. so they would most probably turn down the request, etc. When it comes to the Law, its all about playing safe. not playing with the words.
Its the same with money. whether its USD or EUR or JPY, you can do whatever you want with it. And HTML coding, setting up a website for said purposes, you can do whatever with it too. But the parties behind issuing the currency or the creators of HTML ain't gonna lift a finger for those said purposes.
All in all, you (or whatever parties) may just simply carry on setting up a gambling/sports+game betting website if so desired, with or without the DigiByte Team consent or even a discussion about it.
the communities can get involved because they aren't exactly part of the DigiByte Team. But every country has their own law with regards to gambling, betting. its very very.....troublesome to be honest. you gotta be a master at this law stuff otherwise they gonna bust-and-rekt out of whoever isn't licensed by them. no easy way with this. its the 'No way' or the 'High Way'.
