In a high-level discussion on the iGaming Real Talk podcast, the Honourable Mark Brantley, Premier of Nevis and Minister of Finance, shared comprehensive details regarding the island’s recently debuted online gaming regulations. Filmed during ICE Barcelona, the interview underscores Nevis’s calculated move to establish a significant presence in the international iGaming market.
The Nevis Online Gaming Ordinance, enacted in May 2025, introduced the Nevis Online Gaming Authority (NOGA) to serve as the primary supervisory body for digital gambling. Premier Brantley highlighted that this new system leverages Nevis’s four decades of leadership in global financial services, maintaining its esteemed white-listed status and rigorous AML/CFT protocols.
Core Benefits of the Nevis Gaming License:
- Efficiency in Licensing: Legitimate applicants can expect a streamlined 6–10 week turnaround via a digital portal, supported by multi-layered background checks.
- Fiscal Incentives: The jurisdiction offers a zero-tax environment for gaming activities, as the government prioritizes economic variety and local employment over direct taxation.
- Regulatory Integrity: Strict entry requirements ensure only top-tier operators qualify, with yearly renewals and a steadfast focus on player safety and responsible play.
- Operational Ease: The framework offers flexibility with no local director mandate, support for international banking, and a simple requirement for a local registered agent.
Premier Brantley framed the ordinance as an effort to create a “gold-standard” hub that adopts global best practices while learning from existing market dynamics. By personally engaging with industry leaders, he signaled Nevis’s readiness to host elite operators in the casino, sportsbook, and poker verticals.
