Founded in May 2000 the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC), an independent and non-political body whose members are internationally recognized experts in gambling regulation and licensing, has already established itself at the forefront of the regulation of e-gambling worldwide.

The single most important policy of the Commission is to provide a regulatory environment that meets the highest international standards and thereby both protects the reputation of Alderney and attracts “world-class” operations.

New legislation introduced earlier this year takes Alderneys’ regulatory lead even further with a simplified Licensing regime which allows an unlimited number of activities to be carried out under the one license reflecting the growing tendency for operators to provide multiple activities to their custome rbase. Additionally a Reduced Activity License allows for the establishment of mirrored sites within the Jurisdiction and which can be activated for any operational reason deemed necessary by the operator.

World Class Fiscal Advantages:

* Companies established for the purposes of holding an Alderney eGambling License may qualify for tax-exempt status in which case they do not pay income tax but pay a minimal non profit related fixed annual fee instead.
* Importantly, there is no VAT or other Sales tax applicable on Alderney.
* There is no tax or other duties payable on gambling operations.

These are just some of the advantages which ensure the most competitive business environment available to the worlds leading EGambling operators.

World Class Connectivity:
Since 2005 it has been possible to base servers in the neighbouring Island of Guernsey which is connected directly to the outside world through a number of high capacity and separately managed and owned networks. Capacity is effectively unlimited and provides levels of resilience and performance normally associated with services available in mainland capital cities. Amongst Alderney’s licensees are some of the largest operators in the world all of whom are comfortably accommodated with substantial room for growth. Data Centres are numerous and licensed by the AGCC and there are several new facilities in build and in planning. All of the fibre optic routes off-island are SDH (Sonnet) engineered and offer DDOS protection.

World Class Business Environment:
The combination of respected regulation a fiscal package which cannot be equalled and a technical infrastructure which other jurisdictions can only dream about creates a world class business environment for all EGambling operators. If you require security for your customers and shareholders alike with a jurisdiction which will deliver enhanced value for all then Alderney deserves a very serious look.

Hello! now I’m making a kind of survey, trying to figure out the way game production companies support works. Well, most of companies got online form to fill in. There you indicate you name, company name, address, contact info and describe what kind of help you need. Usually it takes around 2 days to reply. Microgaming replies by email with these words:

“On the basis of the information supplied it would appear that Microgaming would not be the most suitable partner for your needs at this stage.

- A gambling license
- Significant funding
- The ability to process financial transactions
- The ability to effectively manage customers
- Key employees with extensive experience from the online gambling industry (or related sectors)
- Access to large volumes of players”

Doesnt sound good, does it? You see, to work with them you need to have the mentioned above things in your file. If you dont have them, get them and only back come back.
