I think everyone is over thinking it based off the question asked. From my years of experience the local pays the PPH website to to act just like a fantasy football website. They keep all the records,update the odds, etc. In return the bookie pays a flat fee per account he controls. They just pay the flat fee and the website keeps record of points, credit, bananas,units, what ever you want to call them. The bookie would then settle with his customers every week for the actual cash.
