Licences Overview
Pick the correct licence category first. The fastest files are the ones with clean scope boundaries, role mapping, and an evidence index that matches each requirement domain.
Quick rule
If you operate player accounts and funds flow: you’re an Operator. If you provide tech/platform: you’re a Supplier.
Clarification risk
Mixed scopes (Operator + Supplier responsibilities in one entity) trigger more clarification cycles.
Best practice
Start with an Evidence Index (domain → artefact → owner → version) before submitting.
Licence types
Choose the primary category. Each page contains role-based controls and evidence packaging guidance.
iGaming Operator Licence
Online casino operations: player onboarding, RG controls, AML monitoring, complaints, disclosures.
Sportsbook Operator Licence
Sports betting operations: risk controls, integrity monitoring, settlement logic, player protection.
B2B Supplier Licence
Platform, games, RNG, payments modules, compliance tooling, hosting/security and audit logging.
If you’re unsure which applies, use the Entity Map below and then validate scope with a Registered Agent before drafting.
Entity map (Operator vs Supplier vs Affiliate)
A practical view of who does what. Map each entity to obligations and evidence owners.
| Role | Typical obligations | Evidence examples |
|---|---|---|
| Operator | AML/CFT programme, player protection (RG), complaints handling, client disclosures, funds flow controls. | KYC workflow, RG thresholds, monitoring rules, complaints log, payout controls. |
| Supplier | Security controls, logging, SDLC, change control, vulnerability management, testing and reporting. | Pen test, access model, incident plan, change tickets, test packs, audit logs. |
| Affiliate | Fair promotions, disclosure rules, approval workflows, recordkeeping of campaigns and referrals. | Disclosure templates, campaign register, approvals, complaint routing, records retention. |
Scope selection checklist
If you answer “yes” to these, you’re in Operator scope.
Do you hold player balances?
Deposits, wallets, payouts, chargebacks, settlement controls.
Do you KYC players?
Identity checks, sanctions screening, ongoing monitoring.
Do you set RG limits?
Session limits, loss limits, interventions, exclusions.
If you primarily provide technology modules or content and do not control player funds flow, you’re likely Supplier scope.
