This isn't my site BTW, but i saw this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=11763

Are things like that what they seem? I doubt they are, but anyone had experience with things like that? It says you only need to pay for the site but surely someone needs to put in capital for the winnings if someone wins? Hows it work exactly?

Thnx

Basically what you are doing is buying a front-end to the casino. There will be some large internet casino behind this and other sites who will run all the games, systems, security, betting etc. It's very much like http://google.yahoo.com/ which looks like Yahoo but is actually the Google search engine providing most of the listings.

Basically all you are getting is a comission on all the bets through your system, and the customers use your 'host' casino, except they never know this, and think they are just using your site.

Ahhh makes more sense..So is it a good money maker?

Thanks for info

It could be a good money maker, if you were able to get people who would actually gamble through your site. I think that running a casino website and actually having a profit would be next to impossible.

Casino on Google pulled up 18,200,000 results. There are a lot of casinos out there. Going with a niche site would probably be a better idea.

yeah but the competition is big. so it's hard to get to the top.
Also I personally wouldn't buy a gamling site because I think it is wrong to support it. (same with porn site)

I have a similar thing with a casino affilate program. Been running months now and I finally made around $30 after 2 players invested $100+ in it.

There must be thousands of them out there now so you really need to do heavy promotion to get them to work. Expensive promotion.

Why is it wrong to support porn and gambling?
