OVERVIEW OF THE LICENSE
in brief
ADVANTAGES AND REQUIREMENTS
in more detail
- Fast Licensing Timeline
The Tobique licensing framework allows operators to obtain approval relatively quickly, often within three to four weeks, enabling faster market entry compared with many traditional gambling jurisdictions. - Single License Covering Multiple Gaming Activities
One license allows operators to run casino games, sportsbooks, poker platforms, bingo, and lottery services without applying for additional gaming permits. - Fixed Annual Fee Structure
The Tobique license generally involves a fixed annual licensing fee without taxes on gross gaming revenue, allowing operators to retain more of their gaming revenue. - Flexible Infrastructure Requirements
Unlike some jurisdictions, Tobique does not necessarily require a local physical presence or servers within the jurisdiction, which simplifies the setup process for international operators.
- Clean Background and Due Diligence
Applicants must pass background checks and demonstrate that company owners and directors have a clean criminal record and strong professional reputation. - Proof of Financial Stability
Operators must demonstrate adequate financial resources to support gaming operations and meet regulatory obligations. - Certified Gaming Software
All gaming systems must use licensed and certified software to ensure fairness, security, and reliable operation. - Responsible Gaming and Compliance Policies
License holders must implement anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), and responsible gaming procedures in accordance with regulatory standards.
