Jersey Gambling Commission remote gambling operator licence

The Jersey Gambling Commission was set up under the Gambling Commission (Jersey) Law 2010 and licenses gambling under the Gambling (Jersey) Law 2012, from bookmakers and thrift clubs to a small number of online operators. Its remote regime has a single operator licence for betting and gaming, permits for platform, hosting and software businesses, and separate licences for disaster recovery and mirroring for operators licensed elsewhere. Operators must tell customers whether their balances are protected on insolvency, offer self-exclusion and limits, and use approved testing houses. A Jersey licence does not authorise serving Great Britain; that needs a Gambling Commission licence.

Licence types

  • Remote Gambling Operators Licence (B2C from Jersey; one licence covers betting and gaming)
  • Platform Providers Permit (B2B hardware or software from Jersey)
  • Hosting Service Providers Permit
  • Software Designers Permit
  • Disaster Recovery Licence (for operators licensed in jurisdictions with a memorandum of understanding with the JGC)
  • Mirroring and Load Balancing Services Licence
  • Personal Gambling Licence (for trust company staff acting as directors of gambling operators)
  • Testing house approval

What players get

  • Operators that hold customer funds must state clearly in writing, available to customers, whether those funds are protected if the operator becomes insolvent and how.
  • All bookmakers and online operators must follow the JGC's self-exclusion policy; remote operators must provide an easy self-exclusion mechanism, time-outs and voluntary limits, and stop marketing loyalty schemes to self-excluded customers.
  • Game outcomes must be randomly generated and controls must detect and rectify random number generator failures (Code of Practice: Minimum Standards); games must be tested and approved before being added to a licence, using JGC-approved testing houses.
  • Licensees must publish a complaints and resolution procedure; disputes referred to an independent ADR provider must be reported to the JGC, and the JGC publishes a procedure for complaints about licensees.

How to check a licence

The JGC's List of Licensees (https://www.jgc.je/about-the-commission/list-of-licensees/) names every licensed remote gambling operator with its websites, along with platform providers, hosting and software permit holders and approved testing houses. Under the JGC's minimum technical standards, a fully licensed operator must show the JGC logo hyperlinked to the Commission's site, the licence number and the Commission's contact details. For British customers, also check the Gambling Commission's public register (https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-register/).

Context

Jersey's remote sector is small: the JGC lists three remote gambling operators and two platform providers.

Jersey remote B2C operators offering casino-style games must also register with the Jersey Financial Services Commission for anti-money-laundering supervision.

From the licences each provider lists on its own site. Supplying games (B2B) is different from running a casino (B2C).

Not yet verified
  • The content of the 2024-2026 document revisions was not compared line by line, so the recent_changes entries record that revisions happened, not exactly what changed.
  • No primary or amending Jersey gambling legislation from 2024-2026 was found; jerseylaw.je was not checked directly.
  • The older Gambling (Remote Gambling Disaster Recovery) (Jersey) Regulations (2008) were not checked; disaster recovery licensing is described from the JGC's current policy statement.
  • Jersey's pre-2014 white-list status is stated from general knowledge of the repealed s.331 regime, not re-checked against the original order.
We could not confirm these from a primary source, so we have not stated them as fact.
