and otherwise, you should pay for the franchise fee to run the casino

I like your user name. Maybe we're related? Can't have one without the other.

He is asking about ONLINE casino. Just an offshore license is highly sufficient to run an ONLINE casino with a server from Offshore country.

All we need is $600 and some good contacts (Which we can provide) to get complete set up.

don't you need a substantial startup capital to start an online casino? i've always wondered about this

I wonder about that too.
If not, anyone can start an online casino anytime...

Oh maybe scam site

I would think that you would have to be well financed to operate your own online casino

Dear Paradigm and Fellow Talkgold Members,

Yes, you definitely need to be “up on” all of the laws and regulations for operating an Online Casino from your location / country!

And Yes, there are a number of factors that you want to consider and “do your homework on”, including:

Software
Business structure
Licensing
Server location and operation
Payment processing
Startup and ongoing capital requirements
Etc. Etc.

And definitely all in such a way that you don’t get into any “legal trouble” operating an Online Casino from your location / country, Right?!

I hope this all helps.

Thank you all for your participation and Have a Great Day!
