    Default Sportsbook looking for Casino to add to site

    Hello everyone! I am developing a sportsbook for a client. We are looking to buy a casino api to integrate to our site.

    Biggest problem we've faced is that we are US based and although we handle payments offline, we have been unsuccessful finding anyone to work with us.

    We are looking for common casino games: blackjack, roulette, dice, maybe poker.

    Anyone have any recommendations? Does not need to be a high end product.

    Thank you!

    Not sure you completely understand the risks associated with operating a full sportsbook and casino in the US, but you may get a few offers and recommendations.

    And the fact that you do not need, as you put it "Does not need to be a high end product." might also mean you will have an INFERIOR product, which would be a bad thing for the players.

    For not encouraging the client to investigate the legalities first, might be doing them a dis-service.

    Since you do not care about the quality or reliability of the games, or whether they are licensed or whether the sportsbook is licensed, or what kind of risks doing that kind of site within the United States, (as you said Biggest problem we've faced is that we are US based and although we handle payments offline, )

    If the bookie software or site is already licensed, you would not even need to ask where to get games.

    It sounds as if you face far more problems then simply needing casino games.

    Most sports bettors are fairly savvy, and I am not completely sure how you are handling payments, but by simply collecting payment details, and then manually charging the player's payments, kinda sounds like you are collecting credit card and or banking details, directly from the players, then fraudulently running those charges as a manual operation, and doing so within the United States is clearly why no game provider worth having on the site will work with you.

    You might as well just go to fiver or any other forum or site where you can find a few developers to write some games for you, and do so cheaply since real games WORTH having will cost likely far more then you have or are willing to discuss. This might accelerate the demise of the site, but that could be a direction the site is heading anyway.

    If your payment processor ever discovers what you are doing, and that you are providing such services within the United States, you can say goodbye to you merchant account and quite possibly the bank account as well. This includes and merchant agreements you have for other business since you are likely coding the transactions through another entity.

    Operating an actual sportsbook within the united states itself, will certainly cause you/your client far more problems in a hurry, and depending on what state the book is based, could get you in some pretty serious trouble with a handful of licensing and gambling divisions pretty quick.
