This guide compares licensing routes. For help preparing a specific application, see licensing support. For permission to target a particular player country, use the separate market-entry guides.
Eight routes, eight different questions
| Route | Main question before proceeding | Detailed guide |
|---|---|---|
| Cyprus Class B | Is the intended product online betting within the NBA framework, rather than casino gaming? | Cyprus |
| Curaçao | Which gaming or supplier application fits the activity, and can the applicant maintain its obligations? | Curaçao |
| Anjouan | Are the issuer's authority, current conditions and partner acceptance established for the proposal? | Anjouan |
| Gibraltar prediction markets | Does the event-contract model fit the dedicated authorization and proposed contract classes? | Gibraltar |
| Tuvalu | Can the proposed authorization's legal basis and delegation be independently verified? | Tuvalu |
| Isle of Man | Is the business an operator, software supplier or network, with a workable operating presence? | Isle of Man |
| Tobique | What do the Commission's authorization and conditions cover, and what do target markets separately require? | Tobique |
| Finland | Is the business preparing for the licensed market opening on July 1, 2027? | Finland |
The linked guides identify the sources and limits of each comparison. Their inclusion does not mean that every route is appropriate for your business or that SuperBluOrange submits applications in every jurisdiction.
Apply the selection order
- Players and activity. Describe where players will be located, what they can stake or win and which entity accepts their transactions. A license issued elsewhere does not settle the target country's requirements. An absence of a local application form is not permission to operate.
- Payments. Ask the intended processor to assess the actual entity, ownership, license, product and markets. An integration being technically available does not mean the merchant has been accepted. Compare settlement, reserves and withdrawal support as well as the processing fee.
- Suppliers. Confirm the catalog and services available to that entity and market combination. A platform's general supplier list is broader than the catalog necessarily approved for one operator.
- Funding and operations. Separate authority charges from professional services, corporate costs, capital, guarantees, reserves and operating cash. Some amounts are expenses; others tie up funds without being a fee. Include the period before commercial launch.
Establish who is responsible for the application
SuperBluOrange directly supports and submits Curaçao applications. Our current direct-filing exclusions are Malta, Kahnawake, Nevis and the UK Gambling Commission. Other engagements should identify the filing party, local professionals and deliverables in the proposal.
Discuss your licensing route with your target markets, product, ownership structure, supplier shortlist and budget. Document the choice and unresolved dependencies, then define the work required. Approval remains the authority's decision.
