Gaming and betting
A gaming licence authorises a company to offer online casino games, betting or lotteries to players (B2C), or to supply games and platforms to operators (B2B). Well-known regulators include the Malta Gaming Authority, the Curaçao Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission; most licences are personal to the holder and change of control needs regulator approval.
