Gaming

A well regulated financial sector and an increasingly effective telecommunications service able to deliver the necessary phone and internet facilities have contributed in establishing Gibraltar in the international e-gaming market. In order to maintain Gibraltar's reputable gaming industry and to ensure that its economy is not over dependant on this activity there has been a careful selection on the players and a limitation of the number of players. Although each case is considered individually on its merits, the Gibraltar Government's policy is that unless the operator is of excellent repute, background and experience it will not consider any application for licensing.

In addition, it is imperative that the mind and management of the business is based in Gibraltar. Thus, the business must have a bricks and mortar presence in Gibraltar, with its servers, management and control as well as staff and personnel operating from Gibraltar. At least two appropriately qualified persons must actually direct/manage the company and every person who is to be a director, controller or manager must be a fit and proper person to hold that position.
