In the internet, nothing's illegal. But in the real life, there is some law from a country

If nothing illegal on the internet, why there are some gambling site does not accept players from some countries? It means that you're wrong on it, not all thing is legal on the internet. Smiley

That's true as many gambling websites make users sign the T&C where it is mentioned that the user belongs to a country where gambling is legal. Found an article: https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2007/june/gambling_060607

@OP: You may want to check this site as it has few simple steps that need to be followed if you plan to open a gambling website: https://everymatrix.com/blog/start-online-gaming-business.html (It does require you to own a license).

I think when it comes to legal matters its best if you ask your local legal representatives. They will be able to point you into right direction. If you're serious about doing this then you have to take the proper road.

It really depends on what country you are from and the local laws. Pretty much impossible to say without knowing where you are from but i can say that most gambling sites are not registered. Especially the smaller ones (new sites that pop up and for example moneypot apps). So i would not worry too much about it Smiley

This is not true. Even though small websites don't bother about their license, that is because they have an intention of scamming and can any time turn bankrupt like the other websites shut down leaving users losing all their investments. To open a gambling website, the user neesd to check the laws associated and if the site is illegal, it can be seized any time.

I think yes you would need for a license, it is interesting so that you can more quickly become rich gambling boss Smiley
For big business you need license, that is true. But you can buy your license in Curacao without hassle and theoretically you can operate with it worldwide.
You can offer your services via internet even if other countries have different laws and requirements for their casino licenses.

ya you need the license to create gambling site and operate it. but for that also you should be living in that country which allows gambling sites, if not then you will be running illegaly if you are not resinding in gambling legal country.

If you want to run the site on long run then you have to follow all the legal rules to operate a gambling site.

Every gambling sites needs license to operate safely but most gambling sites operator has been hiding in shadows with vpn and hide their identity so no one really knows if they are operating a gambling site. Another addition, having license doesnt mean that the site is honest and will honor all withdrawal, so it doesnt really important imo

I'm not sure how can you do that. I mean you can hide using software like VPN but you host your site in some hosting service. So it's kinda easy to find an owner or just shut down the site.
Yes I get that license doesn't mean honesty. I'm just curios about what can happen if I run site without any license.
If you look closely most gambling casinos have license from some so called tax havens. Popular licenses in gambling world are from Curacao or Puerto Rico.
There is really hard to pursue online services based in different country as there is no codified international laws created to supervise online gambling.

You need to have a lowyer to tell you the law for something like this. Also doinga gambling site you need a really good gambling site to see, because there is a lot of site that is more awesome than you. For me if you do it do full time. I am just afraid for you that it will be difficult to do.

I think main thing will be your local country law and you actually need to have legal registered company in order to get accepted by neteller like gambling related processor. But for bitcoin related gambling site you don't need any established or legal company as background company. (from whatever i know and i think)

As I saw on other sites, few of them have warning like "If you are from US your not welcome here" and that's it. Mby if site were accepting payment with Paypal (for example), US players would be filtered, so you just can't deposit from US. But in case of bitcoin it doesn't matter that much. Or it's not that simple?

Some countries like US and UK will only block illegal gambling sites if you accept players from their country otherwise they wont lay any fingers on you since there are thousand illegal gambling sites around the internet. Also there is no way to filter all of it but only through IPs which can be altered by using IPs of another country

Won't this depend to where the gambling site is hosted?
If I have to create my gambling site I will after all hide the details from whois or probably fake names to register on domain registrars like what the rest are doing. Now it will depend to the hosting company so a offshore webhost can be great for it.

There is a way to avoid all sort of licensing and legal whatnot, and it's that you don't use bitcoin, but only altcoins. It's somehow of a workaround for the whole legal structure. Just-dice is doing it currently because it had problems with this exact issue in the past.

Thank you.

If you are serious about opening a gambling site and need someone to give you a really experienced advice, contact Stunna(owner of PD).
You can check some regulation comparison here : http://www.gamblingsites.com/online-gambling-jurisdictions/.
afaik due to difference inbetween the laws, it doesn't only matter in which country you are registered, but also from what country the users are playing from,
so it's not as easy as one would assume at first hand.

I'm not sure what PD means Sad
Thanks for the link.
