    I want to start off by saying I live in Canada. I want to start an online sports betting websites such as bet365.com. I'm not sure if this is legal though. Any fellow Canadians know what is required to run one of these? Any legal issues? Licenses?

    I also want to start an online fantasy league - would that be legal?

    You can register your business in a jurisdiction where online gambling is legal and run it that way.

    registering offshroe and running it form Canada will still bring you troubles, the only elgal way is to move form Canada to country where running gambling sites is legal, but on the other hand, people are still only registering it offshore and run from onshore

    Government in Canada consists of law. MPs write it, executives apply it, and courts adjudicate it. But the law is a lie. We are told to respect the law and that it protects us. But it doesn't. Think about it people! The law and law enforcement only come into play secundum vitium (after the crime). The police don't show up before you're assaulted, robbed, or murdered; they come after. So how does that protect you? Yes, if a relationship of trust is violated, you can sue if you can afford it, and even that's not a sure thing. (Remember the victims of the Exxon-Valdez disaster!) Even if the person who violated the relationship gets sanctioned, will you be "made whole"? Most likely not! Relying on the law is a fool's errand. It's enacted, enforced, and adjudicated by liars.
