Hi there!
Thanks for the answers. I've tried to call KOBIK, but they have a) no direct
phone number and b) give no answers on the phone. Not very motivating of an
ISP who wants to make a good job.
However, i've entered the form at
http://www.cybercrime.admin.ch/content/kobik/de/home/meldeformular.html and
now we wait and see.
If i'm allowed to publicly post the answer from them, i'll do so when it
arrives.
Best wishes & happy weekend,
Matthias

Hi folks
We've got a request from a potential client if we're able to host a bet
website in switzerland. It's about sports and looks like Toto-X. Is it legal
for us as ISP to host such a site? I know the rules when porn is involved,
but habe no informations about bet websites.
Thanks for your answers & have a nice weekend,
Matthias

New subject: Bet-Website hosting in switzerland - legal or not?
There is a very recent invention for this type of question. It's called
a lawyer. Some of them even have web sites and can be reached by email.
Even more interesting I remember some of them specializing in Internet
related things and giving presentations at SWINOG meetings some time
back.
The bad news is they want some money for their expertise and knowledge.
It's not for free like Firefox, Linux or MySQL. Or web-hosting and DSL
access... Maybe I mixed something up here...
To give you a hint on the answer to your question: Many moons ago the
Spielbankenkomission sent a letter to many ISP demanding (not just
requesting) to block access to *all* money gambling and betting sites
on the Internet. Non-compliance of blocking was said to be as bad as
running such an illegal site yourself. You know, many years in government
sponsored wellness club with heavily filtrated air...
KOBIK never gives feedback on tips or questions you give them.
Oh, and Altavista'ing for "glücksspiel internet schweiz" 1st hit would
have given you the answer immediately.

Hi Andre
Thanks for your answer. As far i could see in the last years, the answers on
this list are of a much higher quality than Google's.
Best wishes,

Hi Matthias, et al on the list
I understand your reasons. I was being snarky/funny because you've
tried to outsource a elementary business function (your own judgement)
to this list without first doing a minimal effort at researching the
issue yourself.
Before you waste 5 minutes of (N * subscribers) of this list time
you should spend at least 5 minutes of your own time googling the
issue first. Yes, you may have to try different search phrases and
you may have to click the next button to get to the second page
to find something relevant for your case.
Only if the answer isn't there after trying for a bit, or you're still
horribly confused because of conflicting information asking the list
is appropriate.
I took objection to your original mail because of "potential customer
is asking whether bla is legal". You're the one winning the customer
when the answer is yes. So we can expect you to at least do some
classic pre-sale homework yourself at your own cost first. Or have
your secretary do it. Or your lawyer.

Hi Andre
We can stop the discussion here. I've made a lot of effort to figure out
myself .... but i did this the official way, not by google to find some
non-backed answers.
