Gaming and betting
A gaming licence lets a company offer online casino games, betting or lotteries straight to players, that is B2C, or supply games and platforms to operators, B2B. The Malta Gaming Authority, the Curaçao Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission are among the best known regulators. Most licences stay personal to the holder, so any change of control needs regulator approval.
