Gambling

For the argument 'selling RSGP is illegal amfg', that only breaks a sites TOS, not the law. In any country that the OP is from, if ONLINE gambling requires a license, it should be implied on sythe.org that they should provide a license, as it would cut down on a lot of dodgy betting/scams related to bets, where there was 'no return' etc. Just throwing this out there. We can't advertise pins because of legal issues so idk why betting should be any different.

I agree and support this gambling is illegal under the age of 21 in us at least.

It's 18 in the United States in some cases or it was it is 21 and 18 it varies.
It's not illegal to bet online with an off-shore sportsbook! There is NO federal law that makes the act of wagering online illegal. The only federal law that addresses gambling is the wire act from the 1960's which makes it illegal to place wagers via the telephone. The US government passed a port security law and tacked on provisions (UIGEA) that make it illegal for BANKS, not players, to fund or accept payment from gaming sources. The only problem (for the govt) is that there are dozens of third party methods available for funding and no way to trace ACH credits. In other words, the new provisions are only for show and the end result is a waste of ink. I still use my VISA check card and e-check on my favorite sites. Online gaming will be impossible to completely eliminate from the US. The best they can do is make it inconvenient. Eventually I see the industry being regulated and taxed...heavily!

Atleast my view from the United States side of things
As I believe you are referring to a Hungarian persons thread in the first place actually I know you are.

The hungarian persons countries laws forbid the gambling, which is why it's a grey area, as there are a lot of countries strongly against it, and all western-cultured countries have an age limit to my knowledge (US/Canada/Europe/Australia/NZ)

Not illegal in hungary per say its a definte grey area but I love the service offered by said person offering it and he is very professional and really the only person on sythe doing it as long as the bets with the lines are clearly confirmed via pm why is this an issue.

i was thinking about opening a betting service/ sports book.

I take 10 percent of all bets, they give me rsgp as cash payment at rsultimates / r2pleasents rate they sell it to them and either one sends me their payment i place the bets take 10 / 15 percent then proceed to send them their winnings via PP.
