Consultancy Launch Targets Affordable Licensing Demand

Focus on Emerging Businesses and Strategic Jurisdictions
The consultancy centers its efforts on guiding up-and-coming operators and software developers toward obtaining accessible licenses in select territories, including Anjouan, Nevis, and Tobique.

Pursuing Compliance and Regulatory Excellence
The group emphasizes a compliance-first mindset and aims to build on a reputation for quality and reliability. According to Mark O’Neill, Managing Partner, “Not every operator and software provider needs a top-tier gambling licence, the cost of which is often prohibitive for smaller, emerging companies. However, it’s vital companies still ensure they are compliant and have a strong regulatory framework so they can protect their business and players and build a strong foundation for growth.
“We’re seeing a significant increase in this mindset and the inspiration for iGaming Licensing — to apply our tier-one experience to supporting emerging businesses in successful, more affordable licence applications.
“We are committed to offering only those licences we can confidently recommend. To support this, our website features a unique recommendations page.
“Carefully curated by the licensing team, this resource outlines key benefits of specific licences, helping customers identify the option that best suits their business needs. While acknowledging that every operator has its own priorities, the page provides a clear, expert-led overview designed to simplify decision-making.
“With a compliance-first ethos, a carefully designed recommendations platform, and a reputation for excellence, the group is positioning itself as the go-to partner for businesses seeking trusted licensing solutions in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.”
