Alderney Gambling Control Commission

Alderney Gambling Control Commission

Alderney, the third largest Channel Island and a self-governing dependency under the British Crown, boasts its own laws and government. Renowned globally as a leading offshore finance center, Alderney and the Channel Islands offer a unique jurisdiction for financial and gambling activities.

The Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC), established in May 2000, takes charge of regulating eGambling and issuing licenses to operators both within Alderney and internationally. Its mission centers on ensuring the fairness of eGambling activities, safeguarding player interests, and upholding top-tier industry standards.

One License for All

Embracing a pioneering risk-based approach, the AGCC tailors its regulations to fit the specific needs of each business, allowing for more efficient operation across various markets. With a single AGCC license, operators can cover all gambling activities, enjoying a streamlined and efficient application process. A dedicated website offers comprehensive guidance for applicants, simplifying the journey toward obtaining a license.

Global Reach with Local Flexibility

Notably, operators don’t need to base themselves in Alderney or host their servers there to qualify for a license. The AGCC’s licensing allows for legal operation in any jurisdiction, extending the reach of Alderney-licensed eGambling far beyond its shores.

Verifying a License

The AGCC maintains a public register of all its licensed entities, accessible through its website or by appointment at its offices. This transparency helps confirm the legitimacy of operators and ensures compliance with regulatory standards.

Responsibilities and Player Complaints

AGCC licensees must adhere to several key responsibilities, including using approved eGambling equipment, registering users, enforcing age restrictions, clearly presenting game rules, and respecting player-set gambling limits. Players with complaints against operators must first address the operator directly. Unresolved disputes can escalate to a formal complaint with the AGCC, either online or through direct communication.
