ortom,

problems 1-3 are irrelevant for countries where internet gaming is legal

4 is untrue. lots of smart people in these countries do not have opportunities to make the type of wages you offer

5 while you may have a point here, it will still take them some time to come up with the cashflow to start their own enterprise. employee turnover is just another cost of doing business. there are plenty of potential employees out there.

6 the model i outlined above differs from the OP in that i'd provide a better economic incentive for the employees (roughly 4x the min wage)

7 very true. to address this you'd need to have lots of database scripts to help you weed out the obvious chip dumping plus hire very trusted people to manage the enterprise for you for 3 shifts a day (your managers). the good part is, you don't need to catch all of the collusion to still be profitable.
