Alderney – Online Gambling Capital of the World

Over the last decade Alderney has become a centre of excellence in the online gambling industry. The Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) has implemented a regime which has attracted some of the biggest operators and players in the world.
They have introduced progressive regulation and legislation for online gambling and have managed to move their regulation along faster than the industry has developed. Alderney has an excellent licensing package which allows such a high level or regulatory control that neither players nor operators need to worry about security.
The AGCC has set up regulations to a world class standard with the aim of attracting the world's largest online gambling operators. Before a license is granted, the commission ensures a number of things. First, they check that all funding and management is not influenced by criminals in anyway, they check that all operational systems are both secure and auditable, they ensure that gambling transactions are fair and that the interests of the young and vulnerable are protected.

Many regulators from other jurisdictions use Alderney as a model framework when they implement their own online gambling policies. Alderney is famous for strict licensing conditions, clearly defined technical requirements, thorough investigations of licensees and continual monitoring of operations.

Alderney is so successful for three main reasons. To begin with, they have an excellent commercial understanding of the online gambling industry. The regime has grown along with the market leading to practical and fair regulations. Additionally, the technical facilities of the Bailiwick of Guernsey are excellent; there are numerous fibre optic routes to London, Paris and the Americas alongside 14 data centres. And finally, there are numerous financial benefits to operating in Alderney; there is no VAT, gaming tax or corporation tax.
