It's to make them legal, it's for tax strategies, for obtaining merchant accounts or whatever else. The seal on the bottom of a website makes no difference. Those gambling commission are not there for nor should they ever be considered sells for the players. That's something for underwriters or police to look at or w/e.
To correct a point though sportsbook.com is operating with a Malta license for sports and Kahnawake license for other products. Sportsbook.ag is Antigua licensed.
Asian Connect
Asianconnect N.V.
Address: Dr.M.J. Hugenholtzweg z/n
UTS-Gebouw
Curaçao
They operate under cyberluck license here.
So not the same area:
A couple things: Antigua has strict requirements for initial licensing such as criteria to meet, after that is somewhat lax a lot of reporting but that's all. It's also not third party subbed out licences. (Asian Connect is not licensed there). Where they are licensed (Curaçao) had written some of the best policies early on. Required physical presence on the Island, all servers be maintained there, required segregated funds etc. The policies were good, the enforcement was always questionable. In time it's gotten worse. There are now many companies that claim licensing there and don't even have it and the ones that do are subbed out. These would be pretty easy to find but there isn't a legit law enforcement division of their gaming commission such as exists in many closed regulated markets.
Anyways all that just babble. I've always trusted Asian Connect I've referred to them and some to PN and BBB but right now I'd be a bit careful. They're huge and probably fine, but the ACBet thing does make me curious. Did a relationship spoil, if so, which and why? I've heard some talk that regarding development project of one of their associates. This makes me suspect maybe they are involved in this, but why close early. I don't know, nor do I even know they are involved with this. I've heard other talk further back that makes me a little nervous. but we're just talking about idiots who have big mouths where they shouldn't, I'm speculating, they're speculating etc.

That always confused me about these brokerages, I dont see how someone with the sort of risk management many asian books have in place couldnt be aware of the presence of all the these brokerage accounts. But a friend in europe says he used Samvo for a few years and he says he never had a problem, I have been looking at 7betsports but still havent made the plunge.
