Alaska is not known for its professional sports or college teams but you better bet there are sports gamblers living here. As a bookie you can truly capitalize.
How to Start Your Online Mobile Sportsbook in Alaska
For a fee as low as $3 per head (per customer/player) per week, you will get a customized website for your players, 24/7 customer service (online and by phone), full odds service, live in-play wagering, betting on most international sports, full reporting, an online casino, a horse book and much more. AcePerHead is currently running a FREE WEEK every month FOR LIFE promo.
There are no upfront costs such as the purchase of the software, etc... Also no need to hire anyone other than the recommended accountant and perhaps an assistant. Remember, you will be spending most of your time on the beach.
Is Sports Betting Regulated in Alaska?
The nation's 50th and largest state in terms of landbase does not currently regulate sports betting.
Benefits of Betting With a Local vs. Regulated Sportsbook in Alaska
Alaskans love their anonymity. Local bookies provide anonymity, wagering on credit and typically accept customers 18 and up. They also do not require extensive paperwork. Pay per head businesses like AcePerHead.com also provide wagering on many events and options not available at regulated books. They also feature an online casino and racebook. Local bookies do not report your winnings to the IRS (you still need to file your taxes).
Safeguards
Never accept customers you have not fully screened beforehand. You should either be familiar with your customers or they should contain references. A pay per head has eliminated a number of elements of the bookmaking business once deemed to be illegal such as the operation of a wire room and the settlement of payments/collections via cash. For example, bets are placed over a secure website with servers outside the United States. Bets by phone are strongly discouraged.
Pay per heads like AcePerHead also offer money transactions via Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that take place via the website.
Take That Extra Step:
- Do not take bets over the phone.
- Avoid taking on customers who reside outside your state.
- Know your customers and check referrals.
- Do not engage with individuals involved in any type of criminal activities.
- Use cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin Tumblers provided by AcePerHead, for secure anonymous transactions.
- Keep your customers information private.
- Always file your taxes.
Today's pay per head businesses are regular sponsors on your favorite search engines so they enjoy maximum exposure, but not all pay per head businesses are the same. AcePerHead is one of the most established in the industry.
Avoid those services that only offer the software for super cheap and nothing else.
Arizona Team Report (Updated March 31, 2023)
Alaska does not have any college football or basketball programs.
They have had some success with Little League, though they've never sent a team to the World Series. Anchorage's Dimond-West Little League recorded the best finish back in 2006 with a Northwest Region championship game appearance.
