e-Gaming |

The Isle of Man is recognised as one of the most dynamic and reputable jurisdictions in the e-gaming industry and is listed on the UK’s e-gaming ‘white list’. Doing e-gaming business in any jurisdiction also requires an excellent source of advisers and service providers so it is reassuring to potential gaming companies that the Island is a Tier 1 jurisdiction with many excellent legal, accountancy and fiduciary firms available. The Island’s ICT infrastructure can also be considered to be world-class with leading-edge fixed and mobile telecoms networks, numerous disaster recovery and hosting facilities and highly-resilient bandwidth connectivity.

The Isle of Man Government is committed to the on going development of the e-gaming sector and its “can-do” attitude has encouraged a growing network of e-gaming businesses and software development companies to operate from the Isle of Man. This has resulted in e-Gaming now being responsible for the employment of over 600 people in the Isle of Man.

The Department of Economic Development are responsible for the promotion and development of e-Gaming.
