Responsibilities of a bookie
Bookies have to determine the events’ true odds and make sure that bettors get to see these odds.

Bookies must collect bet money, keep it safe until the match goes on, and settle the amount.

They also must constantly update the odds and ensure everything is working fine.

Finally, bookies must look out for any malpractices by bettors and keep underage gamblers away from their platform.

Are bookies illegal?
The legality of bookies depends on the jurisdiction of the country. If the country has laws that make bookmaking illegal, then bookies cannot operate in those countries.

But if bookmaking is not made illegal, then bookies need to have a license for bookmaking to operate.
