"Most online gaming applications get stuck at the bank, not at the regulator."
We check payment providers, card processors and banks will work with you before we file. Curaçao, Anjouan, Malta and the Isle of Man — matched to the payments setup that will actually take your revenue.
How we work with igaming operators & suppliers.
Most online gaming applications get stuck at the bank, the payment provider or the card processor — not at the regulator. We check the payments side will work before we file, because a licence that can't take payments is just a compliance cost with no business behind it.
We work with operators selling to players, platforms and game suppliers, in Malta (MGA), the Isle of Man, Curaçao (under its new LOK rules), Anjouan, Gibraltar and Kahnawake — matched to your markets, products and payment plans.
Every job is checked by a specialist, with no hourly billing, and includes the compliance framework, responsible-gambling and anti-money-laundering manuals, technical documents and the post-licence preparation the regulator will actually inspect.
What we've seen go wrong.
- Applying in a country whose payment providers won't process payments for your target markets
- Choosing Malta for the prestige when Anjouan or Curaçao's LOK would serve the same customers for a fraction of the cost and time
- Doing too little on responsible gambling and anti-money-laundering, then rebuilding it under pressure from the regulator after you're licensed
- Filing before your technical setup is certified — and losing months to rounds of regulator questions
The steps, in order.

Countries we often use
Questions we hear from igaming operators & suppliers.
- Which country should I pick?
- It depends on your target markets and payments. Malta (MGA) for regulated EU markets; the Isle of Man for a premium licence close to the UK; Curaçao under the LOK for operators worldwide outside the EU; Anjouan for lower-cost launches where payment providers are on board.
- How long does an MGA licence take?
- Six to nine months to first-stage approval, plus a technical audit before launch. A well-prepared application cuts the rounds of questions from the regulator a lot.
- Can I accept crypto?
- In Curaçao under the LOK and in Anjouan, yes, with anti-money-laundering controls. Malta and the Isle of Man are stricter; we look at product, payments and country together.
