A new consultancy, iGaming Licensing, has been launched to address rising demand for cost-effective gambling licences in emerging jurisdictions.
The venture is led by Mark and Tom O’Neill alongside partners James Lees and Rachel Booth, drawing on decades of combined experience in igaming regulation. The team behind the new business also operates Global Gaming Solutions, an Isle of Man-based regulatory services provider that supports clients in securing licences in markets including the UK, Isle of Man and Romania.
iGaming Licensing will focus on assisting operators and software suppliers seeking more affordable entry routes through licences in jurisdictions such as Anjouan, Nevis and Tobique.
Mark O’Neill, Managing Partner, said: “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.”
