What you’ll know before making a decision
This guide is what we often discuss in the first meeting, written down. 19 pages that support decision making in iGaming. Regulator fees and timelines relevant in 2026.
Learn why the licensing fee number is not a decisive factor: the three-year spread between the cheapest and most expensive of these licences is recovered in about five months of processing on better terms. We explain the foundation of making the right business decision.

Inside the guide:
- Anjouan, Tobique and Tuvalu side by side: regulator fees, timelines, restricted markets, product scope, and how many payment providers onboard each one, scored from our own onboarding record.
- Three-year cost from €42,200 to €93,000, and why one percentage point on your PSP rate erases the difference.
- Three levels of gambling acquiring, accesss to MCC 7995, and what each level requires of your licence.
- What a legal opinion does to your rates and approval rate, what it costs, and why fines for card payments, reaching €200,000 to €500,000, are recovered from operators' funds.
- Payments by region: wallets and aggregators across Asia, Latin America, Tier-1, and why India closed to real-money gaming on 1 May 2026.
