    What HN people wrote when they linked it

      Okay, then looking at their blog I found this:
      http://blog.betable.com/where-is-gambling-legal

      THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG. There are at least 15 green countries on that map where gambling's either completely illegal, or else under so much regulation that their license would certainly not stand up in court. What they're trying to do is insane, stupid, and basically abusing the naivete of your average iphone developer. I pity the idiot that's their first guinea pig.

      edit. Thinking about it more, the first guinea pig is probably going to be some poor guy who ends up getting arrested the next time he's in Russia (green on the map). I think the revocation of Betable's gaming license is going to be the least of their problems when that happens...
