so it doesn't matter if they have a license
if their licence is not valid in your jurisdiction, then they might as well not have one, it is purely cosmetic and is there to provide you with a false sense of security
what im trying to say is, if license is important to you, you should not play at illegal books at all, because as already mentioned, their license is purely cosmetic
and as far as ownership goes, that doesnt make sense, i doubt any of the offshore books let you know who their owner is, not even pinnacle does that
and that's just more proof that they are not regulated, books with proper licences e.g. from uk are obligated to reveal ownership
