GAMBLING,

Nick, you've had Pool and Snooker for about 10 years now (snooker about 7 I think) and yes you are making an extra bit of cash with Premium accounts but wouldn't you like to make it BIG? The ammount of money you would rake in if this had a different section to it where you can stake REAL cash on your matches. Money Tournaments ect... I know Cue_Power, Mich love a little Gamble an I can guarantee there will be tons more and would make the site grow am sure. I'm no massive Gambler I just love a tenner on a coupen every Saturday which never wins but it keeps me happy haha BUT if this was to come in I can quit my day job then. ;)

Obviously its not as easy as I'm making out, you need a licence an all sorts.

Ever joined a Poker site? It says play for fun or play for real Cash, once you log in it could say something along them lines.

I know this has been mentioned before an I can't remember the feed back and I'm expecting negattive comments with the likes of family site etc. But you will have to be over 18 an have to prove it.

Nick, I really don't like my job so there's quite a lot of preasure riding on this. Much love pal x

It would still be free, there would just be an option to bet real money if you wanted.

That's why killerpool was added, but been waiting way too long for the money side of it to come in.

You can have side bets:-

Bitcoin:

If you don't owe Bitcoins, but would like to play for some, go and buy 1 on eBay for about 8 USD. (1 coin is dividable in 100 000 000 parts, so you can play for 0.00000001 cent if u like).

Nick was planning on doing this years ago, almost went ahead. Not sure why it didn't.

I'd be well up for risking a couple of £ a week

Would be good, but then a lot of the funky users are below 18, which means that it would be illegal if they were to gamble properly.. But it could be overcome by having people who will bet, show some form of ID that proves that you are 18.. Because just putting your age as 18 on your profile can't be enough, as you might not actually be 18...

This will never happen

Your not talking hundreds or even thousands for this License your talkinh 6 figure sums

So unless he's already a rich man then it's not happening

And you have to appeal to the Licensing Body, and have to make sure your site's safe enough etc

It's not worth the extra effort and how will be make the money back? You stake £10 on a game Nick takes £1 so probably cost him more for the License each year then he will generate in acting profit then take of tax of 15% (Price of gaming tax) That's without any added extras

Poker sites rake 5% on everything with like 1,000 tables a day without tourny reg fees and remember they have tables like £10k - £20k that's why they do it

Si, but wasn't that killer site for money? Well it was originally planned to be able to play for money so wouldn't he need a licence for that?

The whole idea is amazing but i knew it wasn't as easy as just suggesting it.
