Alderney – Offshore Gambling Territory

Online Gambling Operations which are based on the Channel Island of Alderney are regulared by the Alderney Gambling  Control Commission, or AGCC for short. Alderney and the AGCC are arguably the most stringent offshore gambling licensing jurisdiction in the world, even more so than Gibraltar.

As a result, Alderney is only home to a select few gambling companies. Should any disputes arise between players of online casinos located in Alderney, the AGCC will act as a mediator, with their decision and rulings on any outcomes having to be adhered by the gambling company.

Alderney is also regarded as a white listed jurisdiction for advertising purposes by the UK Government. With all the casinos operating out of Alderney which are recommended on EasyPlay.Vegas, also holding a UK Gambling Commission License.

Because of the above, Alderney is deemed as a very attractive territory for online gambling operations to locate to, this and the low tax regime the territory implements.

Also with close travel and communication links with the UK, Alderney is also seen as an ideal location for operators to base themselves on. In addition, the channel island is also very close to the France and mainland Europe.

The Alderney Gambling Control Commission was established back in 2000 and is an independent and non political body made up of a Chairman and three members. It’s remit is to regulate and oversee the iGaming operations which are located on the Island.
