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.

It is illegal to create betting/gambling sites in countries where gambling is allowed.You need to pay taxes and should follow some rules and regulations to avoid fiscal fraud charges.I am not talking about where is not legal at all.So be careful what ever you choose.It is possible at start all to go well and later you face problems.
Yes and once your casinos gets some fame you will have people who will bribe you for the seek of legal case. I think its better to cure all the issues first than later regretting.

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.

creating a gambling site can be illegal in some countries based on their rules about gambling and more importantly about using bitcoin in your business or even starting an online gambling. so it differs from country to country.

A few years ago when bitcoin wasn't that popular there was pretty much no regulation. Right now since its gaining popularity many countries are forming some kind of regulation. So you need to consult a lawyer first in your country.
nope i think you do not need to ask permission in a country. Internet no country can impose a tax or certain rules. yeah they could do to block users from their country to go to your site. but the user can use the vpn. You do not need to ask permission of any government

In my country gambling is heavily restricted and frowned upon. Online gambling is in its infancy stage. Only one state has permitted online gambling to a few sites. As far as bitcoin is concerned, we do not have any law on bitcoins but it's use is not appreciated. Different countries have different stand on bitcoins, if you are interested in creating a gambling site then you need to check your local laws.

I think a lot of the countries are now standing on the fence for btc. They will see how other countries deal with it before they made their own decision. However, for gambling, this is mainly disapproved or discouraged in most country. Even if you have to open a official casino, there are tons of strict rules that you have to follow.

yeah, and I think investors will also try to look for some other investors who had started an online gambling that uses bitcoins as a currency in their network if it becomes profitable.

And definitely all countries have strict laws and rules when it comes to gambling, even those countries allowed gambling in it, so better before building any gambling website or gambling place in your country especially china, as what the thread starter said, he should need to consult an attorney or a lawyer in regards to his question here.
If he starts an online betting site and use bitcoin as its payment system and currency then no one will now about him that who is the admin of the casino, and his state will also not know that he is starting a casino.

The best choice for him is that he do not have to open an official casino if it is not allowed in his country but he should have to start a small online casino/gambling site and with that he can earn a good amount of profit as a lot of people nowadays like to join gambling/casno.

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.
Added to that in most of the countries, gambling is totally illegal, how will those guys make a gambling site then? I think there is no need of licenses when you are creating a light gambling site for bitcoins. Though you might get n trouble later so be careful.

Yes, you should care full once your government know that you are doing illegal business means they will hand over it. So if you have money create your casino then create it in which place gambling is legal to see there are many sites are there so check that where it hosted in that country this is legal so where you comforted in that place you can host your site.

But if you buy server in country where this regulations don't exist and use VPN problem will be solved.. i guess?

So one more time i ask if anyone know which countries have not regulations about that?

You can start an online casino without any license for online small business no one care about any tax and any license, and you will not face any problem because of that, but the issue will be that less people will trust on that.

If you are really serious about this, you will pay for advice. Getting cheap advice is not always a good thing. Especially when you are planing to earn money. In order to make it, you need to invest it first.

To me OP is not looking like some serious investor, maybe I'm wrong but we will see soon will he make some new casino site.
My advice is simple, check how other casino works, and try to invest much as possible in your site. Don't use cheap things.
