Nevis Launches New iGaming License Aimed at Global Operators

Nevis launches new iGaming license in 2025, offering FATF-compliant, low-tax, banking-ready solutions tailored for fast global entry—ideal for Asia’s market.

With FATF white-listing and banking-ready compliance, the Caribbean island of Nevis is eyeing Asia for its next big leap in online gaming.

A Fresh Player Enters the iGaming Licensing Arena

The Caribbean island of Nevis is stepping into the spotlight with the official launch of its Nevis New iGaming License, set to go live in July 2025. Passed under the Nevis Online Gaming Bill 2025, the new license is already drawing global attention — and for good reason.

While many jurisdictions patch outdated laws, Nevis has opted for a clean slate. Built from scratch, the new regulatory framework is designed to meet the strictest modern standards in compliance, banking, and operator flexibility.

Premier Mark Brantley, who also serves as Minister of Finance, called the bill “a forward-thinking and transformative moment for Nevis,” noting its role in shifting the economy beyond tourism and into digital industries.

What Makes the Nevis License Stand Out?

• Go-live timeline: Under 12 weeks

• License cost: €28,000

• FATF-compliant and bank-recognized

• Local reporting officer required: €4,200/year

• Optional incorporation: €2,500

• Low-tax environment with global banking access

• Tier-1 standards in KYC, due diligence, and tech

  
  

According to Gilad Oren, who is a recognized expert in gaming regulation and the Nevis Gaming Licence, Nevis "did something rare — it built its system for today’s needs, not yesterday’s legacy."

Why Asia Should Pay Attention

Nevis is actively courting partners and resellers in Asia, where demand for credible licenses continues to outpace supply. From startups and growing B2B platforms to large groups needing global payment access, the license is flexible, affordable, and internationally respected.

“With Asia’s iGaming scene rapidly growing, operators are often underserved by traditional licensing hubs,” Oren shared. “Nevis is the modern alternative.”

More Than Just a License

Unlike many offshore options, Nevis offers guided onboarding, compliance roadmaps, and local support, making it a fit for both new entrants and seasoned operators. The setup is structured to ensure partners succeed—not just get licensed.

As Malta, Curaçao, and Isle of Man face increasing scrutiny or evolving rules, Nevis positions itself as a 2025-ready alternative — especially for operators focused on compliance, speed, and cost-efficiency.

Final Word

For those in or targeting Asia’s booming gaming sector, the Nevis license offers a smart, strategic path forward. Whether you’re an agent, consultant, or platform provider, this could be your next edge in a competitive market.
