For the last couple years, we keep hearing books out there telling you how big they are and how many customers they have from around the world. They also tell you that they have plans for expanding their market to different areas, one of them is Asia, which could be the one with highest potential in the future with its population number.
One of the most important targets in the Asian market is Hong Kong.
But as I have said it at here before, they will not have any success there in the near future.
Like most of the countries and cities in Asia, gambling is illegal there and with much strict regulations and laws than in the States or Europe. Hong Kong, for example, the only legalized gambling activities are horse racing and lottory and both are operated by the government.
Last Tuesday, 02/24, Mr Alan Weinrib (boss of Easybets) cancelled a press conference at Hong Kong which was planned for business promotion.
He was told that he could violate the local laws and could be in trouble for promoting gambling there.
Recently, Easybets has a new look at their website. And more importantly, they mentioned that they have moved to Antigua. As we all know, they are from Ireland but I have some serious doubts on how and where are they operated the last year or so. This is actually a good thing for them to finally settle down at a place that can provide some confidence to the bettors.
I really hope they can improve their services and back to the right track as they were before. Who knows, maybe one day I will be back to there and play again like what I did with SIA.
Now back to the Asian market thing, please don't waste your time, bookies.
You may have thousands customers coming from Hong Kong and you may have been also thinking about the HUGE China market in the future.
But never try to believe you can do it publicly there, like WH, LB, etc, they all have huge business with customers from the far east but they all tend to maintain it as very low profile.
Just a piece of personal opinion, the system over there is much complicated than you could expect. There are so many varibles that you may not think of when you are operating at here.
Think carefully and do some extensive research before you decide to do it.
