Setting up online casino games and lottery on a forum for $$

[froggyboy604]

Would it be legal to set up a online casino where people use real cash to play on a forum to raise money for the forum. In places like the US, and Canada it will be illegal since you need a gaming casino license, but in places where the law is very relaxed like Mexico, or some African countries like Nigeria. They would not care much.

I was also thinking about a weekly lottery on a forum where some random members wins all the money from the ticket sales and the forum gets a 10% share of the winnings while the winner gets 90%.

Other ideas is a paid membership where people can compete for prize money from the paid membership earnings in computer game tournaments, or video making contests,etc.

I got the idea by browsing on some forums about "How to game the Lottery and other betting sports like "scratch and win".

The Lottery Forum would probably have many interested players since most people on that forum will be interested in winning money.

Yes good point on the lottery, but who wants to pay money for a lottery ticket and to see they lose the next day and if they enter again and lose then may not participate again, you could attempt it but your better playing with virtual cash as it is not a big loss. As of the casino, I would get a license to be on the safe side of things, yet again who would pay for a game they may hate, if so, all trials on the first three games users play should be free and then they may pay, but make it cheap if so.

Well, people play the lottery in real life (hardly anyone wins) and go to online casinos for fun. I think a lot of people gamble as a way to relieve stress and as a way to win a few extra bucks a long the way.

It would be convenient to have a gambling forum and online casino at one website domain like example.com. Though, I got a feeling more established online casinos already have a members areas like a forum or blog for people to socialize at.
