Bitcoin betting exchanges

[george]

i notice recently that a lot of bitcoin betting exchanges are available on the net that offer anonymous betting few examples are :

https://www.betbtc.co/

https://www.fairlay.com/

so i was wondering if this concept is anonymous are the same laws apply to them in comparison to betfair and betdaq

do they need a gambling license to operate ?

cause i cant see any geographical restrictions , if not that means anyone can just set up a website and offer an anonymous betting exchange make money and no pay any taxes as a company or follow any law restrictions

Thanks in advance

Bitcoin is a bit of a wild west, so I doubt they are regulated.

The problem with Bitcoins is they are so volatile. So it's a bit like saying I'll pay £1000 for that +/- £250.

i like the concept of anonymous betting but i dont trust bitcoin as a currency

Peter any news from your trip to san francisco anything interesting we can wait for in the near future ?

I read an article along the lines of this not so long ago but I can't remember where it was. Perhaps on the forum somewhere?

Hello,

I remember reading fairly recently that the US ha closed mt gox, so sure that kind of legal stance taken by the us will have an even further negative impact on the currencies value/volitility.

Also as an exchange, i would think it be fairly illquid?

I'm also very new here and this seemed a good place to introduce myself!
