4.1 Good | 5+ Reviews
Operating an iGaming business requires a precise legal structure. The license you select directly impacts vital business aspects: your list of available countries for operating, corporate tax obligations, influences which software developers will partner with you, and determines your ability to open accounts with reliable payment service providers. These are key aspects for profitable operators.

How to Get an iGaming License
At Rikk, we provide two options: completing the licensing process for your company or purchasing an existing pre-licensed company.

Opting to license your own company typically leads to the following path:
1. Selecting a Jurisdiction & Business Registration
The journey to obtaining your gambling license starts with selecting a favorable jurisdiction and registering your business within it. This process can also involve registering trademarks and designs, and setting up servers if required. To choose a jurisdiction, you also need to understand your plan for target GEOs.
2. Gathering Information & Documentation
In this stage, we'll need to compile key business information. This includes creating a viable business plan and providing information on the key employees, your finances, and your gambling operations. Simultaneously, gather all necessary documents, such as a clear criminal record, copies of business owners' passports, bank statements, and an outline of the games and software you plan to offer.
3. Developing AML and Risk Strategies
This stage involves creating AML/KYC policies, as well as T&C/PP and several other important documents on your digital platform, and scheduling regular, autonomous audits. We also develop strategies to prevent underage participation.
4. iGaming License Application
An application should include the personal data of owners and key individuals, details of the business plan, and descriptions of the games and software offered. Be prepared for the regulatory authorities to request additional information or explanations on specific elements of your application.
5. iGaming License Acquisition
Upon submission and verification of all required documents, the regulatory body will decide on our application based on its set criteria. Upon compliance with all conditions, a license will be granted.
4 Steps to Complete the Licensing Process
We hold an initial meeting to discuss your needs and suggest the best option for your case.
We prepare our proposal that leads you to a licensed, ready-for-operation business within a specific timeline and cost framework.

The license gets issued, and you are ready for the next steps to establish your gaming business.
