Answers to the most common questions from operators, startups and investors approaching us for the first time.
iGaming consulting is a specialist advisory firm that advises operators, startups and investors on all aspects of the online gambling business: licences, regulatory compliance, market strategy, technology selection and operational management. At GamblingCons we cover the full iGaming business lifecycle.
DGOJ fees vary by licence type (casino, poker, betting, slots). The general operator licence involves fees of €100,000–250,000 plus the required minimum capital (€1M for casino). The process typically takes 9–18 months without specialist advice. With GamblingCons we reduce this significantly.
It depends on your target market. For Colombia: Coljuegos licence. For Mexico: SEGOB. For Brazil: SENAEF (new regulator 2024). Many operators use a Curaçao licence as a starting point while obtaining local licences. GamblingCons analyses your specific case to recommend the optimal strategy.
We work with both. For startups, we have specific "iGaming Launch" packages covering the entire process from scratch: business concept, licence, tech stack, compliance and go-to-market. For established operators, we offer new market expansion, compliance and M&A advisory.
KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) are regulatory obligations that every gambling operator must fulfil. They include player identity verification, monitoring of suspicious transactions, reporting to authorities and responsible gambling programmes. Non-compliance can result in multi-million fines and loss of licence.
The MGA (Malta Gaming Authority) licence has an average timeline of 4–6 months for well-prepared applications. The process includes shareholder due diligence, business model review, and technical and financial evaluation. With correct documentation from the outset, it is the fastest licence to obtain in Europe.
