Topic: UK Gambling licence needed for dice game? (Read 1048 times)
I think you should ask for advice to a lawyer
Ok, here is a little clarity specifically about the 'gambling equipment' being located outside the UK: you still need a gambling licence in whichever location the equipment is located.

Hi guys,
Trying to work out if you need a licence to run a bitcoin dice game in the UK. Apparently, the gambling commission says that bitcoin does fall under the ir remit despite not being a currency, being 'moneys worth'.
Looking at the gambling commission's site, it says you don't need a licence if all your equipment is based in the EU:
http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/gambling_sectors/remote_eg_online_gambling/getting_a_licence-_what_you_ne/do_i_need_a_licence.aspx
So the question is, would just getting an EU based server mean you don't need a licence?
Anyone looked into this?
Cheers, Paul.
