Hi, your idea is interesting. Starting an online sports betting site requires planning and specific knowledge, especially regarding legal and security matters. First, research the laws and regulations in your country or the countries where you plan to operate, as online betting is highly regulated. Then, you need to obtain official licenses that certify your platform meets legal requirements. Regarding security, it's crucial to invest in encryption and data protection systems to maintain user trust and prevent fraud. You should also have a technical team to keep the platform secure and stable. Finally, don't forget to develop a solid marketing and customer service strategy to attract and retain users. It's a competitive market, but with a good plan and legal compliance, it can be very profitable.

The first thing to do to start an online sports betting business is to get the government license to operate such a business in that country.

If you want to start a sports betting site, the legal side comes first. You need to research licensing requirements in your jurisdiction; running without one can lead to serious trouble. After that, the platform itself must be secure and reliable, with proper payment gateways, account verification, and anti-fraud systems. Many new operators partner with established sportsbook software providers rather than building from scratch. Once that’s in place, customer support and marketing can help grow the user base. Without legal and technical safeguards, the whole venture is too risky.

In my city, sports betting can only be run and operated by Hong Kong Jockey Club. No one can get a government license to open such a business.
