sounds like a sweet deal. from what i have seen they have a pay off rate equal to most slot machines.........hey it's a sure winner for the house, or in your case the one you purchase from.....I say go 401k it!

The legality of them is extremely questionable, particularly in states where gambling is illegal and unwanted.
The morality of them is another matter entirely to deal with.
I wouldn't put my life savings into one, let's put it that way. There is too much risk of getting it shut down and plus, aren't there about a million online casinos anyway?

Your choice of a casino is something soooooooooo many people are doing.
But to tell you my experience with purchasing any web site, the only people I see making money are the people who collect your money for the purchase of it.
They also make there money from the advertisers and you will have to bust
your back side to draw traffic, and you are not allowed to Spam...with emails either.
Your investment would be better put on items to sell on ebay, because the time spent to draw traffic to your new site, is over bearing,
I have purchased two such sites, Not casino sites but sites that cover a large market of buyers, and it is in my opinion a waste of my time, Just my feelings on this subject, but in your case this might be what you want to do.
Also, when you need to pay someone for you to have a job, or make a living
why, would they need you if it was so good, they would do it themselves.

Many moons ago when I started my B&M business the factor I was told to consider most was Location, Location, Location.
That proved to be true. Word of mouth then became my most sucessful advertising (I tried them all).
When I was looking into going "e-commerce" (like all I had to do was get a www!), I stumbled across one of those so-called turn-key websites on eBay that offerred everything that I personally was interested in and the site was simply lovely (one of the "prettiest" I have seen) . I became very excited. Wow! I could be up and running in less than a week and I positively loved the look of the site!
Luckily I contacted a few people who know how all this really works and I was asked....How do you intend to get people to find your site? You will have one just like thousands of others. It can be done, but it is not easy, nor is it cheap AND as already stated it takes time...lots of time. In a way even websites need location, location, location AND they most definetly need traffic, traffic, traffic!!!!
I have still been tempted to purchase one of those little $500 turn key jobbies for "show and tell" for pure VANITY. I can hand out business cards to all my friends or anyone I think I will impress and they can go take a look at my spiffy e-commerce "business". Doesn't matter if they every buy anything--it'll really just for "show"! It'll be there just in case someone asks me exactly what I do for a living. I can show them "proof" I am indeed "in business". I'll be OK as long as they don't ask me if I make money!
Be sure and read the small print too. I am not all that saavy and I would still have to hire someone to keep my pretty little vanity site up and running and "looking good"!
