More often than not, these operators are tempted to indulge in illegal betting which in many nations is going against the law. However, there still some operators who operate without license and prevail. They tend to evade the huge taxes that are levied by the sports betting regulatory bodies.

It was reported that more than $145 million has been operated and transacted through illegal betting. To curb the situation, various governments have incorporated state law enforcers who go door to door to seek those who violate the law. Nonetheless, to be on the safer side, it is always advisable to acquire an operational license and avoid being on the opposite side with regulators.
