P2P Betting Is The Next Big Thing?

from the not-quite-what-it-wounds-like dept

While my first thought was that this article was going to be about a Napster-style system for betting, it turns out that it has nothing to do with that kind of P2P. Instead, it’s talking about how online betting shops are focusing now on setting up bets between people, rather than just letting them bet against the house. The system sounds fairly complicated, but it’s basically an open market type of system, that once you read through the details isn’t that hard to understand. The bigger question, though, is whether or not such gambling is legal in the US – and here no one agrees. The companies that take those bets from US bettors say (of course) it’s perfectly legal – and point to how eBay is just providing a service connecting two buyers, but takes no responsibility for the transaction. It’s a valid point. Of course, the question then remains whether the government could go after the individuals using the site for betting with each other.

P2P betting exchanges are established, however there is much room for growth

The P2P betting exchange industry has taken off in the last few years, and has reached great profitability status.

Thus said, there is still much room for improvements within the industry, and currently there is only one major player commanding 96% of the market share.
