Overview
The Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (GRA) grants gambling licences to operators incorporated in Gibraltar.

Operators must comply with the Gambling Act 2005 (Gibraltar), maintain responsible gambling measures, submit annual reports and financial statements, and pay an annual tax on net gaming revenue. The GRA takes a proactive, relationship-based approach to regulation.
Application Requirements
