I suggest that OP contact RHavar or Stunna. They own BustaBit and PrimeDice respectively. You will know pretty much everything about what you need in creating a gambling site and that includes the answer to your question. We can't possibly say for sure if it's illegal or legal because OP didn't mention where is he from. He should contact a lawyer in his place just to make sure that everything's legal.

Hello.

I'm thinking about creating own gambling site. Do I need license for that? Does anyone have experience in this field?
Bro Mainly It Depends Upon Your Country that You Need a License For that Or Not and Also I Don't Have Much Experience About this But I Can Tell You that If You Want To Create Your Own Bitcoin Gambling Website then Maintain a Sufficient Bankroll For Paying the Users And To Do Other Formalities.....

Hello.

I really don't have experience on this field but building a business which is a legit one is really something hard. Your gambling site must be approved by the local government which you are working. Processing those requirements is really not that easy mate plus you also have to make sure that your users are also following their local rules.
I think better you contact any local lawyer in your place, and they only know all rules and regulations in your country. because the law is not same in all country. In my country gambling is illegal so we don't have a chance to create our own site. Ask in your country it is legal or not all the best for the project.

Gambling is not legal in most countries, but few countries allow it.
And about the licence thing, just stop thinking about it as you won't be in any problems because you are going to run it anonymously.


Yeah if anonymously,

But what if you had been traced right?

So better to make sure just to follow the rules of law in your country and also pay the taxes that you needed to pay.

Nobody want to end up in jail, so better follow all laws in your country regarding in gambling, and run the site with your Geo-location anonymously.
I thinks there is only around 15 countries which you are not allowed to do gambling.

You can try to look at it at google.

It actually depends on the country that you want to start or build you gambling site.

But for most of the countries they do not require a license for you to build you own gambling site, as long as you are paying the taxes that should be paid by it.

and another thing, most sites now are a ponzi sites or scams and do you think they do have a permit or license to operate.

so far as I know, If you live in United Kingdom you do need a license to operate your website, for for others I don't know.

According to me that we don't need any agreement to host our site. The only thing is we need to take space in a server to host our website, and we need one team to monitor our site that's it. Before this, you should have enough money to create this type of normal site website you can create quickly but casino sites you should keep money in your account or else it will not work out.

Costa Rica is the place to have your site. they have a very "easy" attitude towards online gambling licence and its very easy to obtain!

But you must have a premisis there bricks and mortar. Thats the only downfall.

although you can always use an offshore hosting and with bitcoin stay fully anonymous if you want to escape the rules Smiley

Do you know some legit hosting to storage gambling website?

Nice, Offshore hosting is so secured if somebody don't want to be traced and share their information.

That is so safe compared to what I said before about changing IP's and geolocation.

so for op. if you don't want to process any papers for your gambling law in your country, offshore hosting is the best choice for it, but I will suggest that if you are going to send funds to them, create a disposable wallet with disposable e-mail registered to it to prevent being traced by your countries authority in regards to online hosting of gambling.

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.

I think to create our gambling site is not a problem if you have enough money means you can hire some developers and create your casino site, but the main issue is your account. Yes, many countries government will consider gambling as illegal, so if you show any bank account here, they catch you so here it is the main problem otherwise it is very easy.
yeah there is no prohibition to do anything on the internet. it's up to you to make porn sites, gambling sites, it is free you do on the internet, but if you live in a country that prohibits gambling. you have to be careful. because many officials who imprisoned owner gambling. it happened in my country

If you have long term serious plan to run an online gambling site you should use proper channel.Which means proper channel is you should get license which is not very costly it will provide you legal safety in case of some unexpected situation.Same time you will be able to promote and expand your gambling business.It is illegal to run such business without license.
Though I think running a small dice site would not need all the licenses and others. I was planning to runs a dice site but then compromised with just investing in casinos.

i doubt of the size of the site has anything to do with its legality and the need for a license.

becasue no matter how small or big your gambling site is, that site would be some kind of a business that is working online and you may have to fill in some forms for the IRS and pay taxes on it.

I think that an online gambling sites do not require a license or legality. Because nearly all the countries in the world gives a harsh policy against gambling, that gambling is not acceptable or not to do, and I see that the existing gambling online there is no legality or the official license from the State.
Stop spreading this kind of nonsense to increase your post count. You're giving out terrible advice and if anyone follows your advice they could be in serious trouble.
Whether or not you need a license depends on which country you are from, not all countries have a harsh policy against gambling.

Yeah some other countries out there are not that strict in regards to the licensing of a gambling site.

But still most of the countries do have a licensing and every countries actually requires a gambling site to have a tax permit or license, do better before putting some gambling site online, you should consider to visit a legal attorney or lawyer to consult your question, and ask for a professional advice.

Not from the advice of the people here in forum, as they might tend to put you at risk with federal crimes in your country.

BTC to the moon is inevitable...
I think there is a site to verified and make your own certification of business to be legal with licenced  if you starting a gambling site.
But someone are can install their business without licence or certification.. and some country are restricted they are not allowing gambling..
Most of the sites right now, I would say like 90% are running without license. You do not really need a license unless you decide to go big and seek local users involvement. You might get sue if you choose wrong path.

it depends on the country that you live in.

in some places you may encounter a lot of troubles if you run such an online business without a license. and you may even end up paying a lot of money in fines.

Where is my ring of blades...
You need to be aware of laws which are going to be tougher in regards of money laundering which is attached to online casino too.You need to be good with license to avoid unpleasant situations which came appear in future.Better meet the condition and get license before start business.
Exactly money laundering cases are even much tough to handle while you actually never intended to do it. If you take users money in bitcoins though then I think this solves that issues at least.

as a business you will always be receiving money from a lot of people so proving money laundering is hard and it is going to be a rare case. I think the most important thing about making gambling site legal would be getting a license from legal channels and also paying your taxes especially if you are earning good amount of money through your casino.

Hello.

I'm thinking about creating own gambling site. Do I need license for that? Does anyone have experience in this field?

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.

But for sure important is where is server with your gambling site!

Do you know in which countries, servers with gambling service is allowed?
He can use any small server for that, as they allow for any site to host just to get some profit and when he notice that now his site is growing he should have to consult with some developers they will provide better solutions for the ease of his business.
I think a common server are uk or us.. this is i think if you host your site its not restricted if you are start a gambling site.. but honestly just always use dns protection.. so that you site will not gone.. if you start a business and own a domain..  you need to have a large traffic in the first time you buy domain.. try to go in expire domains and choose newly expired domain with thousands of visitors daily.. and i think you will rank in the first page fast if you buy an expiredomain..
