Hollander, gambling is actually completely legal in certain countries like Costa Rica, Belize and a few others. In fact, they're more than happy to have businessmen from other countries apply for, and grant them, gambling licenses because it helps their country's infrastructure by also employing their nationals. They also collect the licensing fees and a steady annual tax revenue.

So, regardless of whether those individuals may be breaking laws in their own countries by accepting bets, countries like Costa Rica could care less because they aren't affected by it.

Thats the true process and reasoning involved.
