Nevis as an iGaming licensing jurisdiction: framework, credibility and market access

Offshore licences are only useful if banks, payment providers and game suppliers accept them. In this Hipther TV webinar, a 4H Agency partner questions two Nevis Online Gaming Authority (NOGA) officials, including its chief commercial officer, on how the new Nevis licence works, from application to supervision.

In this episode

• NOGA issues B2B and B2C licences; each is a separate application with its own annual fee, which stays the same every year (5:52, 6:10).

• A B2C licence includes two domains by default, expandable to 40 (6:18, 6:49).

• Only a Nevis entity can apply; the local reporting officer must be a resident, but the compliance officer can be based elsewhere (11:52, 12:08, 12:23).

• Timeline is normally four to six weeks with complete documents, and a standalone Nevis entity is enough to apply (13:51, 28:38).

• Restricted countries are blocked by default, and the licence does not override any country's law (25:39, 25:56).

• NOGA reports more than 10 licences issued and no direct objection so far from the payment institutions it has been in touch with (20:49, 9:34).
