Gambling has always been a profitable business for its owner. What to say about the modern world, where it is possible to play casino games from the comfort of one's own home, online. This format not only gives the visitor the experience they want, but also makes it convenient, making online casinos very popular. If you want to register such a business, you'll need to determine the appropriate jurisdiction and obtain a licence to operate, so that you'll be in compliance with the regulations. Find out how to do this and why it is better to seek expert help in today's guide.

Benefits of registering an online casino

There are many advantages to officially registering an online gambling business:

  • Although a casino may cause public resentment, its operation under the law is a large revenue stream for the state budget in the form of taxes and levies. Which will then go to rebuilding roads, paying pensions or new playgrounds around the city. So taking a casino out of the shadow business and registering it officially will allow you to earn legally, and reduce the dissatisfaction on the part of ordinary citizens, because you will be paying taxes to the treasury.
  • You can register an online casino in a wide variety of jurisdictions. But to do so, you need to obtain a licence. Depending on the chosen country and the requirements of the applicant, the documents required for the licence and the processing time will also vary. But it's all worth it, because you can attract foreign players and foreign currency, thereby growing your business faster and attracting new profits. 

A licence for the gambling industry is an incredibly important document that opens up new opportunities for development. Both the business itself and the economy of the state in which you are operating. But the main thing that the legalisation of the business brings is that there is no risk of incurring losses for illegal activities. However, to understand everything without the help of a qualified lawyer is quite difficult. And now you will see why.

How to legalise online casinos

When planning to operate in Ukraine, it is important to comply with a number of requirements:

  • The domain must be registered in ua. This condition applies to both new and existing businesses licensed in other countries.
  • You must post information on the prevention of gambling addiction and its symptoms on the website.
  • Along with this information, you must outline the gambling rules that comply with current legislation.
  • The website needs to be connected to the KRAIL system to monitor activities.
  • A casino should not have a slot machine with a return of less than 90%.
  • People under 21 cannot work in the establishment, nor can they give permission to use their photos in advertising.
  • No one under the age of 21 or who has been placed on the Register may play in a casino.
  • The client must be able to request self-limitation through the personal office.
  • Legal casinos cannot run bonus programmes or promotions that encourage customers to lose.
  • A bank guarantee from the National Bank of Ukraine or proof of an escrow account with a bank is required.
  • An official fee must be paid for obtaining a licence. A poker room is 2,500 minimum wage and an online casino is 1,250 minimum wage.

Not to mention the fact that the owner of an online casino will have to take care to create a site capable of guaranteeing the confidentiality of personal data received from the customer. So you definitely need expert help. And not just one, but an entire team.

Legalisation of online casinos: where best to do it

It is worth noting that many business owners prefer to register online casinos in such jurisdictions:

  • Malta. Refers to the European Union and allows you to connect to a merchant account. It also grants four types of licences, which start at $50,000. But you will need to keep regular financial records.
  • Alderney. The licence opens a direct route to VISA and MasterCard processing, which starts at €30,000. But it has to be renewed annually for €2,000 and confirmed by submitting reports.
  • Kanawake. To get a license here you need to gather a large package of documents, pay a lot of fees, plus renew the document annually for 10 thousand Canadian dollars. The permit costs 40 thousand Canadian dollars and another 40 thousand for fees levied by the government. Why choose this jurisdiction? The answer is simple: high prestige and fast profit growth.
  • Antigua and Barbuda. There is no need for share capital, and if the casino will work only with non-residents, there will be no need to pay taxes at all. The cost of the licence starts at $25,000 and has to be renewed annually for $50,000. In return, you are offered opportunities to set up a large project with transparent gaming rules.

As they say, offshore and no double taxation has been abolished. So if you are planning to run an online gambling business, find out all the rules and nuances of the process.
