Here you will find information about the most important Online Gambling Licensing
jurisdictions. We focus on jurisdictions that have been approved by the UK
Gambling Commission and comply with their strict standards. The gambling sites
featured on Gamblingkingz.com are primarily licensed in these jurisdictions.
Licensing authorities are concerned with issuing licenses to companies
operating online gambling sites, and also regulating their ongoing activities.
Some countries like the United Kingdom have very well defined and strict
regulations and impose heavy penalties for companies that do not adhere to their
regulations.
Outside of the United Kingdom, licensing requirements and regulatory
practices vary greatly, which is why the United Kingdom have white listed only a small number of "off shore" licensing authorities. There are numerous efforts by online gambling operators and software developers to self-
regulate, and we profile the key organisations in this field.
Some licensing authorities require nothing but a payment to issue the
license, which is an unfortunate reality. We will only feature those
jurisdictions where we believe players are protected, and where there is
recourse.
Although players need not be concerned with the ins and outs of licensing and
regulation, it pays to have a basic understanding of this important aspect of
the industry.
