Nevis Gambling License

Obtaining a Nevis Gaming License involves drafting a packages of documents and compliance measures.

• Corporate Documentation
  Certificate of incorporation and constitutional documents of the Nevis IBC; up-to-date registers of directors and shareholders; certificate of good standing. All must be certified copies (not older than 60 days).
   

• Personal Information
  For each director, shareholder and ultimate beneficial owner (UBO), provide certified passport copies and police/background check certificates. Also a recent utility bill (or similar) proving each person’s address.
   

• Bank Reference
  A bank reference letter (minimum 2-year account history) for key individuals. This letter must be on bank letterhead with contact details, confirming the person’s financial history (see SRO requirements).
   

• Professional Reference
  A signed reference letter from a qualified professional (attorney or licensed accountant) confirming a long-term relationship (over 2 years) with key individuals.

  Completed official application forms, including:

  • Source of Funds declaration;

  • UBO declaration for all owners;

  • An organizational chart of the company showing ownership/control.
     

• Compliance Policies
  Drafts of all standard gaming compliance policies – e.g. AML/KYC program, Responsible Gaming (player protection) policy, Underage/Gambling prevention policy. These must meet Nevis standards and often need professional review.
   

• Website and Tech
  Proof of domain ownership for every gaming site/URL to be licensed. For B2C operators: evidence of Geo-IP blocking (restricting play from certain countries, including FATF-blacklist and domestic jurisdictions). Fairness certificates (RNG test reports) may be required, especially if games are hosted outside Nevis.

  Recent audited financial statements (if already in operation) and supporting docs to verify source of funds/wealth for the project. Nevis requires transparency of funding.
