Gambling seems like a no go because of legalities in the US, but there's a huge gambling technology sector in the EU and UK where it's legal.

What about APIs/SDKs like Betable? I know it's a UK based company, but does this allow others outside of UK to legally use it (ex. in the US?)

That does not answer the question of whether it is legal for US citizens to use this service, just that they are registered with the relevant authorities in the UK. As I understand it, online gambling is illegal in the US, no matter where the operation is hosted.
