  • You might want to have a look at netcetera.co.uk, located on the Isle of Man. I don't know whether they can fit your budget, but it might be worth dropping @JSCL a line to discuss. IANAL, but it certainly seems like a good location for a betting site.

    No. Gambling is not legal like this in France.

    Do you have EU (eg. Malta, Cyprus) or UK (eg. Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey) licensing for your site? Else hosting it is very likely very criminal inside EU.

    Thanks for the recommendation.

    Hosting 'offshore' does not mean that you can escape licence requirements for operating, but there are benefits certainly to being licensed on the IOM. I would be happy to assist with any infrastructure requirements however if you are correctly regulated :)

    You quote their budget in your post, yet link them to your servers which are all above the budget. Also, why would anyone buy dedicated servers you when based on the specs you seem to be reselling OVH servers at 2x the price?

    Edit: site says it's fully managed, but none the less, all servers on that page are out of budget, with HDDs not SSDs, so only 1 of 4 requirements are matched by those servers.

    It's amazing how many hosts wants to put their bottoms on the line for a few bucks to knowingly host, what looks like an unlicensed betting shop. Just wow.

    When a host is small or struggling, they clutch at straws. Anything to keep them afloat.

    It's quite sad that other providers would be willing to host or give offers for a most likely unlicensed betting website.

    Saying that am not too sure the host would get into that much trouble if they are caught hosting it, it not like host would know what each and ever client is hosting on it unless they have a peak at server disks, all the host would need to play is the plausible deniability card.

    Well, if he would have not requested EU this would be more simple.... many countries have no laws concerning such things, or require only very basic KYC and safety.

    This only works if they move immediately after first abuse, else the ISP has knowledge of the content.

    Just out of curiosity, is gambling with BitCoin still considered gambling and requires a license?

    Likely depends on jurisdiction (if BTC regarded as money, if they possibly pay out $ on other ways also, in Austria it would also matter if they display an EUR/fiat value or only BTC), these sites are however extremely hard to shut down/trace (no bank, often no company or address, just BTC wallets) so i assume no in most cases but A) not top priority and B) too much work involved.

    The licensing also contains the parts for random number generators and such (at least in Malta and Cyprus) which you lack then also without any (and no fines for violation etc.), so that might be an issue if someone says you are not fair code base or ripped them off.

    Hmm..
    I assume some providers would hope for a dedicated server sale and in the best case scenario can suspend it for abuse/illegal activity a couple days after and refusing a chargeback from clientside ==> "free" money. Not saying any of the provider in this thread does that.
