I am a 20+ year software professional, although my experience with php is limited. I am willing to review the casino's code under the following conditions:
1. I will never participate as a player in any of the games, nor will any of my alts. This is to preclude even the appearance of a conflict of interest. I am willing to have the financial auditor review my full APIs (2 accounts currently) to confirm this at any time.
2. I will not have access rights to the underlying production mySQL database. I will review the design of the database however, if it is made available in a form *other* than the production database.
3. When I find flaws in the system, their existence and my evaluation of their potential impact will be made publicly available immediately (to forestall fraud). I will communicate the *details* of the flaw only to the player operating casino.
I am open to suggestions for other conditions. My attempt is to establish myself as a qualified disinterested party.
I haven't decided how I wish to be compensated for my code review, and I'm open to suggestions.

emf, I think perhaps my offer was misunderstood. I do NOT offer to be the financial auditor. I have neither the knowledge nor the reputation (as you stated) to fill that role. What I offer is the technical skill to vet the code for errors and shenanigans, something for which Kazuo has already admitted he feels inadequate. Shar has already recused himself. I dunno if other potential financial auditors (Kazzac?) have the technical foundation to vet the code.
As for being an unknown (or under-publicized), you've got to start somewhere...

 Originally by: cosmoray
Still best idea for a casino, is a wager matching service like betfair.
Software matches to gamblers you want to bet on an event. The site takes a small escrow handling fee (5%).
cosmoray, I was under the impression that CCP hf had already stated that in-game wagering on out-of-game events was not permitted. If so, I think that would put a rather significant risk on such a business venture.

Right. I think CCP hf draws a line between wagering in games of chance (roulette, lotteries) or skill (poker), versus wagering on events like those listed above (which are neither chance nor skill, but that's neither here nor there). I'm trying to find evidence to support my admittedly vague recollection.
