Advantages

Cost-Effectiveness

• Nevis offers zero corporate tax on income earned outside Nevis, giving strong profitability incentives.
• Licensing and operational fees are competitive compared to European Tier-1 regulators.

Modern Regulatory Approach

• The Nevis Online Gaming Ordinance 2025 introduced a Tier-1 standard licence recognised internationally.
• The framework is designed to be crypto-friendly, allowing Web3 and blockchain gaming while still enforcing AML and responsible gaming rules.

Streamlined Licensing Process

• The licensing process is designed to be efficient, with approvals possible in 8–10 weeks if documents and compliance requirements are met.
• Nevis provides a centralised Nevis Online Gaming Authority (NOGA), ensuring a clear single point of oversight.

Important Considerations

• Applicants must prepare robust internal policies (AML, KYC, responsible gaming) before approval – a higher entry bar than many offshore licences.
• The regulator prohibits access to certain restricted jurisdictions (e.g. USA, UK, major EU markets), so market targeting requires careful planning.
