Re:	eConnect (formerly known as Betting, Inc.) - Form SB-2

Dear Sir/Madame:

We have acted as counsel to eConnect, a Nevada corporation
(Company), in connection with its Registration Statement on Form SB-
2
relating to the registration of 10,000,000 shares of its common
stock
(Shares), $0.001 par value per Share, at an offering price of $0.62
per
Share.

In our representation we have examined such documents, corporate
records, and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate for purposes of this opinion, including, but not limited
to, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company.

Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Company is
duly organized and validly existing as a corporation under the laws
of
the State of Nevada, and that the Shares, when issued and sold, will
be
validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

Sincerely,


							/s/  Shawn F. Hackman
