B2B · Supplier & critical gaming supply

B2B & supplier licences.

The supplier side of gaming — for studios, platforms, aggregators and RNG providers that sell to licensed operators, not to players. A B2B / critical-gaming-supply licence is a separate, lighter authorisation from a B2C operator licence, and it's what lets you contract with regulated brands. We run it across every jurisdiction that offers it.

who it's for

Built for suppliers, not operators.

Game & content studios Slot and content providers whose games run on other operators' platforms need a supplier authorisation, not an operator (B2C) licence.
Platform & aggregator providers Turnkey platforms, aggregators and PAM suppliers that deliver 'critical gaming supply' to licensed operators.
RNG, odds & data suppliers Providers of random-number generation, sportsbook odds, live data and other critical components.
Payment & tech vendors Certain payment, wallet and technical vendors that the regulator treats as gaming suppliers.

b2b vs b2c

Why it's a separate decision.

Different licence, different cost A B2B / supplier licence is a separate authorisation from a B2C operator licence — usually lower fee and lighter capital, because you don't take player funds.
Your clients need you licensed Regulated operators can only take 'critical gaming supply' from a licensed supplier. Being licensed is what lets you sell to MGA, Romanian and other regulated brands.
One structure, both sides If you run both a B2C brand and supply others, we structure the two cleanly so each holds the right licence — no confusion, no compliance gaps.

how it works

From supply to licensed.

  1. Scope your supply We map exactly what you supply — platform, content, RNG, odds, payments — and which jurisdictions treat it as critical gaming supply.
  2. Pick the jurisdiction Malta for tier-1 EU credibility, Anjouan/Curaçao for speed and cost, or a market your clients specifically require.
  3. Licence & certify We run the supplier application, the technical certification and the compliance build to the regulator's standard.
  4. Sell & scale With the supplier licence live, you can contract with licensed operators — and add jurisdictions as your client base grows.

faq

Critical gaming supply, answered.

What is a B2B critical gaming supply licence?

It is the supplier-side authorisation a business needs to provide 'critical gaming supply' — the platform, games, RNG, odds, live data or other core components a licensed operator relies on — to regulated operators. It is a separate licence from a B2C operator permit: you are licensed as a supplier, not as the operator taking player funds. Malta's MGA calls it the Critical Gaming Supply (B2B) licence; other regimes use their own labels (Romania's ONJN Class 2, Anjouan's B2B category) for the same supplier role.

How is a critical gaming supply licence different from a B2C operator licence?

A B2C operator licence authorises you to run gaming for players and hold their funds; a B2B / critical-gaming-supply licence authorises you to supply licensed operators. The B2B licence is usually a lower fee with lighter capital requirements, because you never take player money — but it is mandatory, because regulated operators may only source critical gaming supply from a licensed supplier.

Who needs a B2B critical gaming supply licence?

Game and content studios, turnkey platform and aggregator providers, PAM suppliers, RNG and sportsbook-odds providers, live-data feeds, and certain payment and wallet vendors the regulator classifies as gaming suppliers. If your product is a core component that a licensed operator's gaming depends on, you are supplying critical gaming supply and need the licence.

Which jurisdictions issue a critical gaming supply licence?

Malta's MGA is the benchmark Critical Gaming Supply (B2B) licence; Romania (ONJN Class 2), Greece (HGC), the Isle of Man, Anjouan and Curaçao all run a supplier tier. We confirm the exact route for your supply and target markets at scoping.
