Remote Gaming Regulation Law
- 01
Faster Time to Market
The licensing framework is built around automation and digital processes, allowing operators to move through application and onboarding more efficiently than traditional jurisdictions. By reducing bureaucracy and manual administration, businesses can focus on launching products, entering new markets, and generating revenue sooner, whether a first-time operator or an established brand expanding internationally.
- 02
Cost-Effective Licensing
A competitive fee structure lowers the overall cost of obtaining and maintaining a gaming licence. Combined with automated compliance processes and reduced administrative overhead, operators achieve significant cost savings while maintaining high regulatory standards: an attractive balance between affordability, operational efficiency and regulatory credibility.
- 03
Tax Advantages & Banking Support
Licensed operators may benefit from a 0% corporate tax rate, subject to eligibility and conditions, retaining more capital to accelerate expansion, invest in technology and strengthen marketing. The licence also opens access to local banking within Guinea-Bissau, along with international merchant service providers, payment processors, e-wallets, cryptocurrency exchanges, digital asset service providers and settlement partners: solving one of the industry's most persistent challenges: reliable banking and payments.

International Compliance Standards
The framework incorporates standards aligned with international practice for AML, CTF, cybersecurity, data protection and responsible gaming: helping operators build confidence with payment providers, financial institutions, business partners and customers.

Frequently asked
Questions operators ask before applying.
Still unsure whether this framework fits? Ask our licensing team
What is the Guinea-Bissau Remote Gaming Licence?
It is a remote gaming licence issued under Guinea-Bissau's Remote Gaming Regulation Law (2026), operated through a public-private partnership with the Government of Guinea-Bissau. It authorises international remote gaming activity, including sports betting, online casino, crypto gaming, esports and multi-product operations, and is administered on cloud-native licensing infrastructure with digital application, monitoring and reporting.
Who is the licence designed for?
International remote gaming operators, rather than businesses targeting domestic Guinea-Bissau activity. It suits both first-time operators seeking a credible route to market and established brands expanding into new regions, particularly those running sports betting, online casino, crypto gaming, esports or multi-product operations across several territories.
What tax treatment applies to licensed operators?
Licensed operators may benefit from a 0% corporate tax rate. That treatment is subject to eligibility and conditions determined by the Government of Guinea-Bissau under the Remote Gaming Regulation Law (2026), and is not automatic. Applicants should take independent tax advice on how it interacts with their own group structure and home jurisdiction.
What compliance standards does the framework apply?
The framework incorporates standards aligned with international practice for anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, cybersecurity, data protection and responsible gaming. Licensees also gain access to AI-driven monitoring, real-time due diligence screening and automated AML workflows through the Authority's compliance technology partnership, which reduces the operational burden of meeting those obligations.
Does the licence provide banking and payment access?
The Authority acts as a gateway to a network of banking, merchant service, payment gateway, e-wallet, cryptocurrency exchange and settlement partners, including access to local banking within Guinea-Bissau. Introductions and introductions to established partners shorten onboarding, but each provider runs its own commercial and risk assessment, no licence, in any jurisdiction, guarantees that a specific bank or processor will onboard a given operator.
Does this licence allow me to operate in the EU or UK?
No. Like other offshore gaming licences, it does not confer automatic access to regulated markets such as the EU or the UK, which require a licence from the relevant national regulator. Market access is determined country by country. Operators should confirm the permitted-market position for each territory they intend to serve before going live.
How long does the application take?
As little as seven days from a complete application. The framework is built around automation and digital processes rather than manual administration, which is designed to move applicants through application and onboarding faster than traditional jurisdictions. Actual duration depends on the completeness of the submission: corporate documentation, source-of-funds evidence and technical compliance material are the usual determinants of speed in any jurisdiction.
How do I apply for a Guinea-Bissau gaming licence?
Start by contacting the TGMRC licensing advisory team with a short brief covering your corporate structure, target markets, product mix and intended launch timetable. The advisory team will confirm whether the framework fits your requirements, set out the documentation required, and guide the application through the Authority's digital process.
