   Yes, absolutely - you can create your own sports betting website. It isn’t illegal if you’re only an affiliate and not accepting wagers yourself.

   Hi I work in this industry so I can answer your question. BTW keep an eye out for which is going to be my mates betting company that deals with what you are are asking your own online bookie.

   I asked my friend you question as he is also starting up and he said:

   - It’s not illegal if you get a licence from the appropriate gambling commsion.

   - Your software will need to be fully tested and fair!

   - To store people credit card details you will need to have your databases maned 247 with security cameras.

   - You must have restrictions in place to avoid allowing people to bet from banned countries.

   - You will defenitely need a international law solicitor as you will be treading on a fine line all the time - plenty of red tape.

   The above are just the basics, there is so much more to do before you can even launch your site - good luck!

   Hi,

   I have developed a very good sportsbook website engine, looking for ONLY 2-3 serious buyers.

   Here is a non-exhaustive feature list:
   - white-labeling system
   - affiliates program
   - fully template driven, CSS based design, AJAX UI, very user-friendly interface.
   - any number of sports, any number of markets, highlights
   - advanced betting slip (straight, parlays, specials, etc)
   - multi-currency, multi-language (!)
   - multiple payment processors supported (ukash, moneybookers, usemybank, citadel, paysafecard, bank wire, WU…)
   - live customer support/chat
   - complete admin and affiliate back-end, with markets management, CMS, transactions log, bets log, live help backend and lots of other great features

   It’s developed using Ruby on Rails, PHP, AJAX, MySQL database, XHTML.
   It is also ready for integration with casinos, poker rooms, game sites, forums, fantasy sites, etc.

   As stated, I am looking for not more than 2-3 very serious long-term clients, I can provide setup/installation, branding, design, customization, future updates and upgrades.

   I am also thinking to sell this as white-label, I have formalities and payment processing ready, so let’s discuss!

   Thank you for your time!

   It is legal based on the country you plan to set this up in. You will need a license, quite a bit of funding, and a proper website. Have a talk with the gambling authority in your jurisdiction. The website part will be tricky, find a reputable company. There are tons of software/web companys out there. Give epromptc’s betmore (www.betmore.info) a try. It’ll get you going. Good luck!
