Gibraltar Licensed Casinos

The Gibraltar Gaming and Betting Association (GBGA) is a trade association that represents online gambling interests in Gibraltar. It is funded by its members and issues licenses to remote betting and gambling operators.

It’s one of the most respected governing bodies in online gambling, with major bookies such as William Hill, Ladbrokes and Betfred, owning a license from the GBGA.

Under the Gambling Act of 2005, all gambling operations in Gibraltar require a license. These remote gambling licenses, including online casino and sports betting as well as telephone betting, are issued by the GBGA.

The Gambling Commissioner is appointed by under the provisions of the Gambling Act of 2005, holding the power to conduct its operations with licenses.

The Licensing Authority only grants permission for remote gambling to blue chip companies. In short, it’s pretty strict about who it licenses. The jurisdiction will also consider the licensing of aptly-funded start-ups and expanding operations to companies that relocate fully or partly from other jurisdictions.

All licensees should follow strict rules set by the GBGA, which means that it prevents criminal activities and money laundering schemes. Licensees should also comply with international money-laundering laws and submit themselves to regulatory due diligence.
