Is there a why to legalize Online Casinos in countries that ban them? Yes.
You focus on the shared denominator that Gamblers and Speculators share in common; Risk. Through this analysis, it was decided to pursue a means to build a new type of communications platform never before seen.
Lets look at Risk, for the purpose of gaining returns, where only the means by how Speculators and Gamblers go about it that differs. And although the vehicles that each personality type uses is different (Slot Machine Vs. Foreign Exchange charts); in the end, each one is hoping for a payout, otherwise there would be no reason to place themselves at risk of losing.
Introduction
To completely understand the principle behind the mechanics of this platform, one can compare it to how people interact with their computers or video games.
Video games have separate stories, graphics, characters, etc from each other, respectively. For example, NBA basketball game vs. F-1 Racing. The most important factor that these two separate entities share, is that the player is looking to reach an end result. The NBA gamer is looking to win the game by scoring the most points, and the F-1 Driver is looking to win the race by being the fastest.
Another point to make, is that rarely do the instruments that are used in these games, ever changed. Meaning, most players will use the same controller for a game of basketball, as they would for a game of Formula-1 Racing.
This is an important part of the platform's mechanics: Similar Input Mechanism (i.e game controller), but separate back-end mechanism (i.e result).
All the other 'Good Stuff' pertaining to the actual mechanics behind the platform is currently kept confidential.
