Do owners of betting companies place bet on their own platform or is there a policy specific policy that restricts them from betting. Do you think that there would be conflict of interest or that it will be unethical if owners bet on their own platforms. These are the questions that I am seeking an answer to.
If you start a casino, will you set a policy to restrict you from gambling ? As a owner you can do whatever you want as long as you are the owner as these are private business and you set the policy and rules and there is nothing unethical unless you start scamming your own business.
this aspect i believe is hard to know the truth. as these owners won't reveal if they are also betting or not. but the likelihood may be high especially if those persons are rooting for certain sports or team, as they will likely place their bets as well.
and besides, they will surely try as well some of the features of their site. that is to know also the feel of playing on their site.
yes, maybe occasionally the owner uses their own site to try out what new games they are marketing, with that they can master the type of game they own, to be honest I don't really know and I'm just guessing, and I think maybe when the owner feels bored they also gamble with the aim of having fun, not to make money because they are well aware that they have made big profits because they are the provider of the gambling platform. Participating in gambling activities can increase the enthusiasm of other gamblers if the owner also experiences gambling on his own casinos platform.
