Ask HN: Building a Game of Chance Website
I was recently hired to build a website that seems VERY much like a game of chance. The company is US based, and I'm concerned about legalities I might face if the gaming commission comes after the site.
When I voiced my concerns, one of the co-founders said they've never heard of any company being sued for what they want to built.
Is anyone aware of some nice articles I can send their way?
- rubinelli 13y agoDon't waste your time sending nice articles. It never works. If you aren't comfortable, find something else to do, bid them good luck, and quit. Trying to skirt anti-gambling laws doesn't get you a lawsuit, it gets you in jail.
