Legal Question in Technology Law in California

website

Reply: I think this satisfies the definitions for ''gaming'' and ''lottery'' in the California Penal Code, see sections 319-329 and 330-337z; I also doubt that the NFL is going to grant you a license to use its intellectual property.

I understand that the NFL would not grant a license, but I'm working out the specification that were given to me from the NFL to run this site so I will not violate any trademark laws. also, I have read the penal codes that were in my first reply, and I see that it would not work in CA from reading those codes. what if any can I get around this? I see football gambling sites everywhere. there is even one called ''Beverly Hills Bookie'' the site is 100% retable... how did this person get around the penal system of CA... are there any State Licenses I can request to make it Legal?

thanks again, this is a Huge Help!
