About Gibraltar Jurisdiction
Gibraltar is a peninsula covering a land area of about six square kilometres. It is situated at the southern tip of Spain, overlooking the strait to Africa. Gibraltar is an overseas British territory, but is mainly ruled by their own internal government.
Gibraltar has strict regulations in place that ensure gaming companies must be totally legitimate before attaining licensing there. All gambling operations in Gibraltar require licensing under the Gambling Act 2005. Remote Gambling licences are issued by the Licensing Authority. The Gambling Commissioner, who appointed under the provisions of the Act, is granted powers to ensure that licensees conduct their operations in accordance with their licenses and in such a manner as to maintain the good reputation of Gibraltar.
Gibraltar Licences
Gibraltar licences are generally difficult to obtain. The Licensing Authority will only consider licensing well-established companies with a proven track record in gambling, licensed in a reputable jurisdiction, of good financial standing and with a realistic business plan. What is more, casino operators have to pay annual gaming tax. For internet casinos gaming tax is currently levied at 1% of the gaming yield or gross profit up to £425,000.
Resolution of Complaints and Disputes
In case of any disputes with casino operators, players can take complaints to the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority. Complaints about operators must follow the process set out in The Gambling Commissioner’s advice to complainants. Complaints must be submitted in writing, by email, using the prescribed form (Complaint Resolution Request Form) to [email protected].
