Caribbean · NOGA-regulated · new 2025 regime
St Kitts & Nevis Gaming Licence
A brand-new, low-cost Caribbean gaming licence. Under the Nevis Online Gaming Ordinance 2025, the Nevis Online Gaming Authority issues a single licence covering every vertical — at a flat €28,000, 0% gaming tax, granted in 2–3 months. A fresh, credible alternative to the crowded offshore field. Vantegris runs the whole file.
overview
Why St Kitts & Nevis.
The Nevis gaming licence is one of the newest offshore regimes: the Nevis Online Gaming Authority (NOGA) was established under the Nevis Online Gaming Ordinance 2025, operating within the Nevis Island Administration. Nevis is part of the Federation of St Kitts & Nevis, and this is a purpose-built, modern iGaming framework rather than a repurposed old one.
It is designed to be competitive: a single licence covers casino, sports betting, poker, lottery, bingo and eSports; there is 0% gaming tax and, thanks to a territorial system, 0% tax on foreign-sourced income. The licence fee is a flat €28,000 covering the application and your first year, with first-year all-in — including a Nevis company and a resident Reporting Officer — around €34,400. As a new regime it also carries less crowding than long-established offshore names.

market access
Reach & restrictions.
Nevis supports broad international reach, but a licence is not market access. Operators geo-block regulated markets they are not separately licensed in, plus sanctioned and FATF-listed territories.
Operators must use GEO-IP blocking for restricted countries and any FATF-blacklisted nation. Non-compliance can lead to licence suspension or revocation.
FAQ
How much does a Nevis gaming licence cost?

Is Nevis a new gaming jurisdiction?
Yes. The Nevis Online Gaming Authority (NOGA) was established under the Nevis Online Gaming Ordinance 2025 — a purpose-built modern iGaming framework, not a repurposed legacy regime.
What does the licence cover?
A single Nevis licence covers casino games, sports betting, online poker, lottery, bingo and eSports — no separate permit per vertical.

A Nevis-incorporated company, due diligence on all UBOs and directors, a Reporting Officer who is a permanent Nevis resident, RNG certification and proper KYC/AML, data-privacy and responsible-gaming policies.
How does Nevis compare to Anjouan?
Both are 0%-gaming-tax offshore permits covering all verticals.
