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 20,000,000 shares of its common
stock ("Shares"), $0.001 par value per Share, at an offering price
of $0.43 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
