Jurisdictions into which gambling businesses may not provide services
We expect you to conduct your own due diligence and put controls in place to ensure you meet legal requirements in other jurisdictions.
We recognise that it is perfectly possible for different people to come to different views on the issue of the risks of providing facilities for gambling in a given jurisdiction. Our interest is to see that the views taken rest on reasonable assumptions and a coherent rationale.
There are two distinct aspects to our interest in the sources of revenue for gambling businesses:
- the implications for financial risk if a significant proportion of your business is with grey markets that could change our approach, for example, to enforcement and the implications for your probity/likelihood of responsible behaviour if you are knowingly or recklessly flouting the laws of another jurisdiction
- deterring black market operators or suppliers from competing in the British market.
As part of the licence application process, we require:
- details of the markets that you provide gambling services or facilities to/accept players from
- details of any licences, permits or authorisations that you hold in those markets
- the revenue that each of those markets generates as a percentage of the overall revenue generated by your remote gambling activities.
