Hello.

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

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.

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.

You are right and also check with the local government whether its allowed (legal) or not. Many times it does happen that after launching the websites they get banned from the government authorities. So its better to check the information, have some research and then only go for it.

If you open up a virtual gambling site that is just for fun where people use virtual tokens like bitcoins just for fun and bet/gamble on real/virtual events, in that case you may not need a license. Every mainstream fiat accepting gambling and betting sites are licensed but with bitcoin you continue without a license. I know some of the bitcoin based established sites don't have a license for operating gambling.

There are a lot of anti money laundering laws surrounding gambling. That's why a lot of websites only allow certain countries because it doesn't matter what country your website is based out of, it matters what country the person accessing it is from. So it's a very touchy subject. I know seals with clubs got completly raided at his house and then moved to another country.

depending on the state policy. if they allow you then legal. and if they donot allow you then ilegal.

In some countries it's illegal to gamble, which is why you can't register on some websites (they blocked) those countries. So you should check first if your country has any laws against gambling.
Else you made end up in jail.

This is very important. Before you start with your online casino make sure to do proper research. Invest money in a lawyer who understand the terms of service of the gambling industry.
The gambling industry is very lucrative, but also very regulated, since the amount of money flowing there is tremendous, so make sure to thing of that.

It's not just dollars, but an equal amount of paperwork too.

You would need specialized licence in most of the world, and be completely prevented in some countries, IMO it's not an individual reach to make a gambling site in a country like america, on other it might not be that difficult.

i am almost sure that it's not legal to have online gambling site in America yet, i don't know what about other countries but i think that you need license or something to be legal, or you can hide in shadows with vpn and proxy and thor, better be safe then see interpol at your garden

It depends on the local laws of the country. Some countries allow unlicensed casinos, some allow licenced ones that have been licensed by them. Sooner countries don't even alow casinos at all.

Almost every country in the world requires you to get a license.

I believe that's why he said "some".

If you live where I do, the government doesn't allow the creation of gambling sites until you register with them. I was thinking of making a gambling site, but I didn't have a lisence

i honestly doubt that you will be allowed to create something that includes gambling if you dont have any licences or something like that, i wouldnt even bother trying and contact some local lawyers

I think that you would need all documentations that a real cassino does in your country.

it really depends on countries laws so i guess we can not predict what he needs, though i would be very careful with that to not have any problems with law if its illegal thing to do to create it without a license

You may start a simple and small site where you want fewer amount of users then you can just start it and wait til it grows and then get the legal work , papers work done !

You should not aim too big in starting.

It all depends of the country you or the website is based at. For instance, if it is inside the EU, the rules could easyly be quite strict. But I do belive a license is required in most parts of the world.

i think it should be illegal if you dont have some kind of a licence that would allow you to play it, i wouldnt risk my time and money to do it without a licence that would allow to create it
