Jersey i-gaming received in excess of 100 enquiries in 21 days following its launch as an i-gaming jurisdiction, with several licence applications already in process.
In response to enquiries since its January launch, Jersey i-gaming has been demonstrating how the i-gaming industry has evolved since the ’90s into a regulated, global, multi-million dollar business, and what Jersey can offer that is new or unique as the latest emerging jurisdiction. Part of this has been highlighting Jersey’s position as a leading tier-one jurisdiction for listing or place of IPO. Jersey i-gaming has also been responding to a large amount of interest from industry press and local press.
Jersey is already en route with both B2C and B2B licence application objectives, with several applications already in process. Digital businesses, some not even requiring Jersey Gambling Commission licences, are also expressing interest in relocating to Jersey following the recent launch. These developments are welcomed by a cross-section of industry and government, leading to an enhancement of skills and the digital industry in line with its broader diversification strategy.
Andy Jarrett, director at Digital Jersey, said: “That Jersey i-gaming has achieved so much interest in just three weeks is a clear indication of the quality of what the island has to offer the i-gaming industry, and also the industry’s appetite for a fresh cost-effective jurisdiction which combines legislative innovation and solid experience. It’s clear the momentum around Jersey i-gaming is continuing to grow, and the island can provide the whole package for i-gaming companies from world-leading listing/IPO purchase possibilities, to expert legal advice and excellent technology services. Our message is that Jersey is well and truly open for i-gaming business and has all the resources to be the next global hub for i-gaming operations.”
