When it comes to regulated online gambling,
the Isle of Man stands as a premier jurisdiction.

If your business model involves supplying services or software to other egaming enterprises, you have the option to apply for the Software Supplier Licence. 

This licence is elective rather than mandatory, but many software businesses opt for it to demonstrate their commitment to top-tier Isle of Man standards. Holding this software licence provides reassurance to B2B partners, including operators, banks, payment processors, investors, shareholders, and more. Additionally, licensed software suppliers can list their products on The Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission Approved Software Register. Isle of Man B2C operators can then integrate these games into their platforms without requiring RNG testing certificates, as the GSC will already have received these from the software supplier. This licence is not limited to software developers; it can also apply to other service providers in the gaming industry, such as affiliates and live dealer studios.

Types of Software Supplier Licences

There are two types of Software Supplier Licences available: 

Software Supplier Licence
If your software supply does not involve blockchain-related technology, this licence is suitable for your business. It is available to any enterprise that supplies gambling software, services, or a non-Isle of Man based software platform. The cost for this licence is £36,750 per annum with a £5,250 application fee.

Token/Blockchain Based Software Supply Licence
If your business uses blockchain technology and/or software that utilizes tokens, coins, or digital currencies, you will need this licence. It is designed for products that make use of blockchain, distributed ledger, and cryptocurrency technology. The cost for this licence is £52,500 per annum with a £5,250 application fee.

Benefits of Holding a Software Supplier Licence

  • Licence holders can list their products/services on the GSC register of approved software/platforms/games/products/live dealer studios on the GSC website. 
  • Simplified testing certificate procedure, as products only need to be tested once. 
  • Demonstrates adherence to top-tier Isle of Man standards. 
  • Provides comfort and credibility to B2B partners, investors, shareholders, legal representatives, banks, payment processors, stock exchanges, and distributors. 
  • Elective licence for suppliers of Isle of Man licensees.
