Sports betting has always been hugely popular from way back in the 19th century but is also highly controversial in some jurisdictions. In the last 20 years, betting has shifted to the Internet which has greatly revived interest. Bettors place their wagers either legally, through a bookmaker/sportsbook, or illegally through privately run enterprises referred to as “bookies”.
While Internet allows bookmakers to circumvent laws by operating outside of a restricted jurisdiction and yet serve clients anywhere, there is no platform of anonymity like blockchain.
