Alderney

Alderney is a long-established Channel Islands jurisdiction with a strong reputation among operators, suppliers and banks. It suits businesses that want tier-one credibility close to the UK market.

Jurisdiction Image

Regulator

The Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC), an independent regulator operating under the Alderney eGambling Ordinance.

Licence fees

Alderney charges application and annual licence fees rather than a turnover-based gaming duty, with different fee levels for full operator licences and for business-to-business and hosting arrangements. We will confirm the current figures for your licence category as part of our assessment.

Our recommendation

A good fit for B2B suppliers and for operators who want a tier-one licence with a lighter tax profile than some other established jurisdictions. Where EU market access is the priority, Malta is usually the stronger choice.

Important to know

  • Due diligence on owners, directors and key staff is thorough, and applications are assessed in detail.
  • Operators are expected to demonstrate proper governance, AML controls and player protection measures.
  • Hosting and technical arrangements need to meet the Commission's standards.

Benefits

  • Well-regarded regulator with a long track record.
  • No turnover-based gaming duty in Alderney.
  • Strong acceptance from banks and payment providers.
  • Same time zone and legal traditions as the UK.

Requirements, fees and timescales change. Contact us to confirm the current position before making any decisions.
