The operators, and the supply chain behind them.
A remote gaming market is more than its operators. Licensing the suppliers, platforms, testing laboratories and payment providers is what makes the standards enforceable end to end.

The regulatory framework
What a licensee is assessed and supervised against.
- I
Legal basis
The licence operates under the Remote Gaming Regulation Law (2026), supported through a public-private partnership with the Government of Guinea-Bissau. The Authority issues, conditions, suspends and revokes licences; TGMRC supplies and operates the infrastructure it runs on.
- II
Fit and proper assessment
Directors, shareholders, beneficial owners and other relevant individuals undergo regulatory assessment covering identity, integrity, competence and source of funds, before a licence is granted and on an ongoing basis thereafter.
- III
Financial crime controls
Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing obligations covering customer due diligence, sanctions and politically exposed person screening, transaction monitoring, suspicious activity reporting and record keeping, aligned with international practice.
- IV
Player protection
Age and identity verification before play, self-exclusion, deposit and activity controls, clear terms, transparent bonus rules, complaint handling and dispute resolution, with protections applying in the product rather than in policy alone.
- V
Technical standards
Game fairness and random number generation, platform integrity, customer fund segregation, data protection, cybersecurity, business continuity and independent testing where the Authority requires it.
- VI
Reporting and supervision
Periodic regulatory returns, event reporting, real-time monitoring and risk-based supervision, with examinations and enforcement carried through the Authority's case management. Licences carry ongoing conditions, not a one-time approval.
Frequently asked
Remote gaming licensing, answered.
What is a remote gaming licence?
A remote gaming licence authorises an operator to offer gambling products to customers at a distance, typically online or by other remote means, under the supervision of the issuing authority. It sets who may operate, what products they may offer, the standards they must meet on player protection and financial crime, and the reporting and supervision they remain subject to for the life of the licence.
Which remote gaming sectors does TGMRC licence?
The Guinea-Bissau framework supports remote gaming across online casino, sports betting and sportsbooks, poker, bingo, lottery, fantasy sports, esports betting, slots, immersive and micro gaming, and prediction markets. It also licenses the supply chain: game providers, B2B and platform providers, testing laboratories, payment providers, payment agents and digital asset service providers.
How quickly can a licence be issued?
As little as seven days from a complete application. The framework is built around automation and digital processes rather than manual administration. Actual duration depends on the completeness of the submission, since corporate documentation, source-of-funds evidence and technical compliance material are the usual determinants of speed in any jurisdiction.
Does a remote gaming licence permit operation worldwide?
No. A licence establishes an operator's regulatory status within the issuing jurisdiction. It does not confer permission to offer services in every country, and it does not override the licensing requirements of regulated markets such as the EU or the UK. Market access is determined country by country, and licensees remain responsible for restricting territories where they are not permitted to operate.
