I'm hoping to avoid e-wallet style providers, but thanks for the tip, I'll make a note of them.
And yes, licensing is a problem for another day. The UK's gambling laws are complicated and vague, especially when online businesses come into play (it all seems like an after thought, as always). I think we've got that one covered though.
- ashconnor 15y agoI wouldn't say the UK gaming law is vague but it is complicated. Basically unless you're a charity you'll need to be licensed.
- jandy 15y agoNot necessarily; and this is what I meant by vague (though yes, complicated is probably a better term). http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/gambling_sectors/remote/getting_a_licence-_what_you_ne/do_i_need_a_licence.aspx http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/gambling_sectors/remote... Do I need a licence if I am based abroad? You do not need a licence from us to run a remote gambling service if all of your remote gambling equipment is located outside Great Britain. If you are based abroad and want to advertise your gambling services in Great Britain, you must be based in a whitelisted country or a country mentioned in the Gambling Act 2005. What qualifies as our "gambling equipment"? Our webservers? That being said, it's still probably a good idea to get a license.
