Setting the New Standard in Online Gaming
Nevis introduced a new regulatory framework for online gaming in 2025, creating a licensing route for international B2C operators and B2B gaming businesses.
The license covers different types of remote gaming activity and establishes requirements for applicant companies, ownership and management, AML/CFT controls, player protection, technical systems and ongoing regulatory compliance.
A Nevis gambling license may be considered by businesses looking for an international licensing jurisdiction, but the decision should also take into account target-market restrictions, banking and PSP acceptance, game-provider requirements and the operator’s wider corporate structure.
B2B
For companies developing software, partner programs, KYC, and PSP for operators. Required documents include a business plan, financial statements, proof of source of funds, ownership documentation, and agreements with suppliers
B2C
For direct gambling activities: casinos, betting, poker, lotteries. Necessary documents include a business plan, financial reports, website documentation, RNG certificates, and agreements with content providers
The Key Advantages of Nevis License
(01)Zero gambling tax
Operate internationally without local tax burdens — Nevis offers a 0% tax on gross gaming revenue for companies registered there
(02)Separate B2B and B2C licence options
B2C licensing applies to businesses offering gambling services directly to players, while B2B licensing covers eligible gaming suppliers. A business carrying out both regulated B2C and B2B activities may require both licences.
(03)Global reach and credibility
Nevis’ offshore license provides a strong international reputation, facilitating access to global markets and partnerships with confidence
(04)Rapid Setup
A Nevis company can typically be incorporated in 5–7 days. NOGA advertises a 4–6 week licensing process for a complete application, while the total project may take around 8–12 weeks when company setup, document preparation and regulator questions are included.
Nevis Online Gambling Licence Cost
The cost of a Nevis gambling licence depends on the licence type and the structure
of the application. B2C and B2B are separate licence categories, with regulatory fees applying to
each.
The table below shows the official regulatory fees. Company formation, required
local functions, compliance documentation, technical testing and professional support are additional and
depend on the individual project.
| Cost item | Official amount |
|---|---|
| B2C licence fee | €28,000.00 |
| B2B licence fee | €28,000.00 |
| Annual renewal fee | €28,000.00 |
| Additional URL | €750.00 |
| Sub-domain | €35.00 each up to 49; €15.00 each for 50+ submitted together |
| Due diligence for a new director, shareholder or UBO | €1,000.00 |
| Material ownership change | €5,000.00 |
Because regulatory fees may be non-refundable, the ownership structure, licence
category, domains, technology and application documents should be reviewed before submission.
GamingLicensing can provide a tailored first-year and renewal cost estimate after
reviewing the proposed B2C or B2B structure.

Nevis Gambling Licence Renewal
A Nevis iGaming licence is renewed annually on the anniversary of issue. Start
the renewal review early so updated corporate, financial and compliance documents can be supplied
before the deadline.
Renewal Requirements & Costs
As part of the renewal process, a licensee should be prepared to:
pay the applicable €28,000 annual renewal fee;
maintain the Nevis applicant company in good standing and keep all required local appointments
and corporate arrangements active;confirm current shareholders, UBOs, directors and key persons and report or obtain approval for
applicable changes;provide updated financial, funding or business information where required;
maintain current AML/KYC or KYB, responsible-gambling, sanctions, geolocation and other
compliance controls applicable to the licence;keep required technical documentation, testing or certification and material supplier agreements
current;review the approved domains and register additional URLs or sub-domains where required; and
ensure that material changes made during the licence period have been properly reported or
approved.
Renewal should be treated as an ongoing compliance process rather than simply
the payment of an annual fee.
What Happens If You Don’t Renew?
If a licence is not renewed within the applicable regulatory requirements, the
business risks losing its licensed status and may face regulatory consequences. An operator should
not represent itself as holding an active Nevis gambling licence or continue activities requiring
that licence once the authorization is no longer valid.
Loss of licensed status can also affect banking, payment processing, game and
platform suppliers, commercial agreements and communications with players. If a renewal deadline
cannot be met, the licensee should contact the relevant Nevis regulatory authority as early as
possible and confirm the required next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a Nevis
gaming license?NOGA advertises a 4–6 week licensing process for a complete application. In practice, allow around
8–12 weeks for company formation, preparation, due diligence, technical evidence and regulator
questions. Incomplete or inconsistent documents can extend the timeline.Do I need a local company?
Yes. Current NOGA requirements state that a gaming licence can be issued only to a company registered
in Nevis. The company also needs a registered office and agent, an independent compliance officer
and a local reporting officer resident in Nevis and registered with the FSRC.How much does a Nevis iGaming license
cost?The official fee is €28,000.00 for a B2C licence or €28,000.00 for a B2B licence. Renewal is
€28,000.00 annually for each licence. Formation, officers, compliance drafting, audits,
certification and professional services are additional.Is there a minimum share capital requirement?
NOGA does not publish a fixed minimum paid-up share capital amount in its current licence
requirements. However, the applicant must provide detailed three-year financial projections,
identify funding sources and demonstrate sufficient financial viability for the proposed operation.What activities does a gaming licence
cover?A B2C licence covers player-facing online gaming, such as casino and sports betting. A B2B licence
covers the supply of games, software, platforms and critical services to operators or aggregators.
If the same group performs both roles, separate B2C and B2B licences may be required.Which countries can I operate into?
A Nevis gambling license does not automatically authorize an operator to accept players worldwide.
The laws of each target country must be considered separately, and locally regulated markets may
require their own gambling license.Operators must also comply with the prohibited and restricted jurisdiction requirements applicable to
the Nevis license, including required geolocation and GEO-blocking controls. Before launch, each
target market should be reviewed for gambling, advertising, payment and other applicable
restrictions.Are crypto payments allowed?
Crypto-based payments can be included in the business model, but they are not exempt from regulation.
The operator must disclose the payment flow and apply risk-based AML/KYC controls, sanctions
screening, source-of-funds checks and transaction monitoring. Acceptance by a bank, PSP or crypto
provider is assessed separately.Can I transfer a gaming license?
Do not assume the licence can be transferred to another entity. Changes to ownership, control,
shareholders, UBOs or directors may require regulatory notification, approval and additional due
diligence. Where applicable, regulatory change and due-diligence fees may also apply.Obtain approval before implementing a material change to the licensed ownership or corporate
structure.What happens if my application is
rejected?A rejected application does not authorize the business to conduct or present itself as conducting
licensed Nevis gaming activity. The next step is to review the regulator’s decision or questions,
identify whether the issues relate to ownership, funding, documentation, compliance, technology or
the proposed business model, and determine whether the deficiencies can be corrected.Where a new or revised application is possible, the structure and supporting documents should be
reviewed before resubmission. Regulatory fees already paid may be non-refundable under the
applicable fee rules.
