Software Licensing

The Isle of Man is one of the premier jurisdictions for regulated online gambling.

If your business model involves selling services or software to other egaming businesses, you can elect to apply for the Software Supplier Licence.

This licence is elective rather than mandatory. However many software businesses choose to become licensed in order to demonstrate adherence to top-tier Isle of Man standards. As a result this gives reassurance to B2B partners such as operators, banks, payment processors, investors, shareholders and others. Further to this, a software supplier holding a licence can have their products listed as approved on The Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission Approved Software Register. Any Isle of Man B2C operator can then deploy these games on their site without needing to acquire RNG testing certificates, as the GSC will have already received these from the software supplier. As well as software developers, the licence can also be applicable to other service providers in the gaming industry such as affiliates and live dealer studios.
