Affinity Nevis

The framework provides separate B2C and B2B licence categories. B2C licences cover businesses offering gaming services directly to players. B2B licences cover eligible suppliers to the gaming industry, including technology and software businesses. The appropriate licence will depend on the proposed activities and operating model.

Applicants should expect to provide corporate records, ownership information, a business plan, an organisational chart and detailed information about directors, shareholders and ultimate beneficial owners. The published requirements also include source of funds and source of wealth evidence, police or criminal background checks, bank references and professional references.

The published requirements include KYC, AML, responsible gaming and underage gaming policies. Applicants may also need to provide independent RNG testing certificates, evidence of domain ownership, supplier agreements and technical documentation.

No. Operators remain responsible for complying with the laws of every market they serve. The Nevis requirements identify restricted jurisdictions and require appropriate geolocation controls. A licence from Nevis does not replace local authorisation where a target market requires its own licence.

Yes. NOGA maintains a public register showing the licence holder, licence status, licence number, licence type, expiry date and authorised websites.

The company is required to have a minimum of 1 Director and 1 Shareholder, which can be individuals or corporate entities. It must also have a registered office in the Cayman Islands, which can be provided by a licensed Corporate Service Provider. There is no minimum share capital required and no requirement to file financial statements.

Licences are renewed annually, subject to continued compliance and payment of the applicable renewal fee.

Affinity can support the licensing and operational process, working with the client and relevant local specialists. Our services can include corporate establishment and administration, application coordination, governance, compliance support and ongoing business administration. Each project begins with an assessment of the proposed activities, ownership, target markets and existing licences.
