am new to forum, I currently use mainstream sites like betfair but as looking to gamble my bitcoins but wondered if dice sites etc need a licensee, and should I steer clear of ones that don't?
I think the gambling sites need to be licensed to operate. This helps to reduce illegal activities such as fraud, money laundering ... gambling sites have a lot of impact on bitcoins. It reduces people's confidence in bitcoin
Almost all of the legitimate online gambling site has a license to operate in every each of their country that is representing because with this they have the authority to operate in their own ways and will become more trust worthy in the eyes of the gamblers, and there is a countries that regulates and prohibits in using online gambling websites in their countries for their citizens safety, that is why not all online gambling is applicable in all regions in the world.
