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.
