After doing a bunch of research, I realized it's not illegal as long as you do it right and don't run a bucket-shop (without a license in a crazy jurisdiction).
What did you thought was illegal?
Currently I am setting up companies, applying for a license and recruiting a team to make this happen (Please don't apply, I only work with people I know).
Another reason is also that I don't know anyone from this industry. I hope to eventually connect to like minded people who are in the same situation or walked the walk already.
These things don't match up well. If you only work with the people you know but you don't know anyone from this industry, then how do you make it? You mentioned that you did many businesses around gambling, including affiliate system and poker. Did you want to say that you simply don't know anyone from the crypto industry and you are starting a casino with your partners that have worked in non-crypto gambling projects?
By the way, I have a question about Curacao license. Companies that have Curacao license, do they have office in Curacao and work from that place? Or is that just a license and they have offices in other countries?
