How much does an MGA license cost?

The Malta Gaming Authority B2C license has a non-refundable application fee, a fixed annual fee, and a compliance contribution tiered as a percentage of GGR. The exact figures appear in the Malta card above. Sub-categories (Type 1-4) attach different share-capital minima.

What is the UKGC license fee?

UKGC fees are set in the Gambling (Licence Fees) Regulations 2021 and are tiered by Gross Gambling Yield. The UK card above shows the application fee, the annual fee at the smallest band, and links to the statutory instrument with the full ladder.

Which iGaming jurisdiction has the cheapest license?

Sort the list above by "Lowest first-year cost" to see the answer at any moment, given the latest verified figures. Note that the cheapest licence is rarely the cheapest market to operate in once you add taxation, RG levies, and certification costs.

Are these figures current?

Every cell carries a verification date and a confidence badge. Cells marked "high" were dual-verified against primary sources by two independent verifier agents using different source classes (regulator publications vs. Big Four consultancy publications). Cells marked "low" or "Editorial Review" are flagged for human review.

How often does this page update?

Quarterly. The exact next refresh date and a live countdown appear in the hero. Send corrections to editorial@gamingcompliance.io between cycles.

Do these fees include taxes?

No. Licence fees are the regulator's charge for the right to operate. Gambling taxes (GGR tax, betting duty, point-of-consumption tax) are separate and modelled in the iGaming Tax Calculator.
