IGAMING EXPERTS. GLOBAL STRUCTURES. REAL GROWTH.
Gambling Licenses & iGaming Corporate Structures
Licensing Consultancy Since 2014
We design licensing, payments, and corporate structures that unlock growth across multiple jurisdictions.
What We Do: Online Gambling Licenses, Payments, and Corporate Structuring
A gambling license is a government-issued authorization that permits a company to legally operate or supply online gambling services — casinos, sportsbooks, poker, lottery, or B2B game software. iGaming Express is a licensing consultancy that has helped operators, suppliers, and affiliates obtain gambling licenses in Anjouan, Curaçao, Kahnawake, Nevis, Romania (ONJN), Malta (MGA), and Poland since 2014. We handle the full process: jurisdiction selection, company incorporation, license application, banking and PSP onboarding, and ongoing compliance.
| Jurisdiction | Best for | Typical timeline | Indicative all-in cost (year 1) | Key advantage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anjouan | Fast B2C/B2B market entry | 4–6 weeks | ~€25,000–€30,000 | Speed; single license covers all verticals |
| Curaçao (CGA) | Established offshore operators | 8–12 weeks | ~€50,000+ | New LOK framework, direct licenses |
| Kahnawake (KGC) | North America-facing operators | 8–12 weeks | ~CAD 50,000+ | 25+ year regulatory track record |
| Nevis | Holding structures + emerging licensing | 6–10 weeks | varies | Asset protection; 2026 framework overhaul |
| Romania (ONJN Class 2) | B2B suppliers to EU-regulated markets | 8–12 weeks | €75,000 all-in | Most cost-effective EU B2B license |
| Poland | Regulated EU sports betting | 6–12 months | high (capitalization req.) | Monopoly-adjacent regulated market access |

Why One Gambling License Is Rarely Enough
Multi-Jurisdiction Structures
Typical scalable setup:
Most scalable iGaming groups combine three layers: an offshore license (Anjouan or Curaçao) for fast initial market entry, an EU license or entity (Romania Class 2, Malta MGA) for PSP acceptance and partner credibility, and a holding company (commonly Nevis or Cyprus) for ownership, IP, and asset protection. iGaming Express designs and implements all three layers as one structure.

WHO WE HELPED
We’ve Helped Investors
To Grow.
Platform Provider
Offshore to EU migration for a B2B platform
A leading platform provider needed EU-level credibility to onboard regulated operators. Operating under a Curaçao sub-license was blocking key partner-ships. We designed a dual-entity structure with a Romania Class II license at its core.
Outcome: First regulated B2B partnerships live within 5 months. PSP acceptance rate doubled.
Live Dealer Studio
Multi-jurisdiction market entry for a live dealer studio
A live casino supplier expanding beyond their home market needed simultaneous licensing across three jurisdictions without duplicating corporate costs. We built a holding structure via Nevis with operational arms in Anjouan and Malta.
Outcome: Operational in 3 jurisdictions within 8 months. Single holding structure. Tax-efficient from day one.
PSP Provider
Banking and PSP access for a gambling-focused fintech
A payments provider serving iGaming clients was struggling with bank account rejections across EU institutions. We restructured their corporate setup and brokered introductions to EMIs and PSPs with an established gaming track record.
Outcome: 3 active banking relationships established. Onboarding time for gaming merchants cut by 60%.
Game Studio
B2B licence acquisition for a slots developer
A slots studio needed a credible B2B license to distribute through aggregators requiring regulatory certification. Their existing setup — no formal license, UK-incorporated — was blocking distribution deals with tier-1 aggregators.
Outcome: Anjouan B2B license secured in 6 weeks. Aggregator distribution deals signed within 3 months.
Sports Betting Operator
Regulated market entry — Poland
A sports betting operator with Curaçao licensing wanted to access the Polish regulated market. We managed the full application process with MF, coordinated with local legal counsel, and structured the Polish entity to meet capitalization requirements.
Outcome: Polish license granted. First regulated revenue within 7 months of engagement start.
Affiliate & Media Brand
Compliance restructure ahead of MGA advertising rules
An affiliate network with cross-border operations needed to restructure before tightened MGA advertising regulations came into force. We identified the entities at risk and built a compliant holding and operational structure ahead of the deadline.
Outcome: Zero regulatory penalties at transition. Compliant structure live 6 weeks before deadline.
