Tobique iGaming License

Quick Facts

Is This Right for Your Business?

Consider this route for an international online casino, sportsbook or gaming supply business with identifiable owners and documented funding. Hybrid platforms need individual classification. Land-based poker and projects relying on unrestricted international access fall outside this service scope.

Which Application Route Applies?

The register’s B2C/B2B labels describe business roles. The Gaming Act separately lists activity-based permissions.

Which Activities Can Be Covered?

Map the product to its statutory category and approved scope under section 23 of the Tobique Gaming Act 2023.

Approved-vendor status under section 24 of the Tobique Gaming Act 2023 is separate from an operating licence. Product design, supplier evidence and each domain can affect the approvals needed.

What Will Gofaizen & Sherle Handle?

G&S coordinates the work needed to assemble and progress your application:

• Assess the business model, target markets and licence route.
• Prepare the corporate file, ownership disclosures and application documents.
• Develop AML/KYC and responsible gaming procedures within the agreed package.
• Coordinate technical evidence, submission and responses to authority queries.
• Support banking preparation and post-licensing arrangements.
• For existing operators, Gofaizen & Sherle also offers AML audit services.

Clients supply accurate personal, financial and operational information. Testing providers and banks make their own assessments. TGC decides the application.

What Do the Packages Include?

These are Gofaizen & Sherle service structures, not statutory company-location requirements. Optional work includes business plans, accounting, continuity planning, provider introductions and acquiring-account onboarding assistance.

Budget separately for professional services, DLAG charges, third-party testing and recurring support. DLAG terms distinguish preliminary review from full application and make preliminary-review payments non-refundable. Payment does not secure approval.

What Must You Provide?

Prepare:

• company records
• ownership charts
• key-person identification
• funding evidence
• criminal or regulatory history.

Add your business plan, target countries, financial projections, games, suppliers, domains, platform architecture, payment flows and existing policies. The final checklist depends on the activity and review requests, as explained in DLAG’s application guidance.

How Long Does Preparation Take?

Document collection depends on your starting position. DLAG publishes an application estimate of two to three weeks after pre-approval, extending to eight weeks in some circumstances. This is not an end-to-end deadline or an approval commitment. Missing evidence, testing and further questions affect readiness.

Which Rules Govern the Operation?

The Gaming Act establishes TGC’s powers. Licence conditions define individual permissions. The General Code governs operating standards, while the AML/CTF Regulations and Remote Gambling AML Code address financial-crime controls. Use the versions published in the official document collection, including General Code V2.0 and AML Code V3.0.

Are Applications Currently Accepted?

Yes. As checked on 18 September 2026, applications are submitted through DLAG, which processes them for the Tobique Gaming Commission. TGC makes the licensing decision.

Licences are already being issued. The official TGC register lists B2C operators and B2B suppliers with their licence expiry dates. Authorisation remains subject to the applicable TGC rules and codes and does not automatically permit access to every target market.

To verify a particular website, check its digital seal and the TGC fraud warnings.

Where Can You Accept Players?

A Tobique licence does not provide worldwide market access. Before accepting players, check both TGC restrictions and the gambling laws where those players are located.

Restricted markets. TGC prohibits serving players in the UK, USA, New Brunswick and other jurisdictions on its restricted-jurisdiction list. Operators must block registration and play from those locations and must not advertise their services there.

Markets outside that list. Absence from the restricted list is not permission to operate. Check whether local law allows your activities, requires a separate licence or restricts advertising. Configure player-location checks and access controls accordingly.

Other Canadian provinces. A Tobique licence does not replace provincial authorisation. Assess the proposed activity under the relevant provincial rules and section 207 of Canada’s Criminal Code before accepting players.

What Continues After Authorisation?

• AML/KYC: maintain risk assessments, customer due diligence, sanctions/PEP screening, transaction monitoring and suspicious-activity reporting under the AML Code.
• Player protection: apply 18+ controls, self-exclusion across brands, gambling limits and clear website disclosures under the General Code.
• Reporting: keep transaction records for at least five years, submit quarterly financial returns and provide audited accounts within 28 days of availability under section 38.

Company-structure changes and specified serious incidents must be reported within 24 hours under General Code section 31.

What Can Put the Operation at Risk?

TGC’s powers are set out in section 26.

How Should Banking and Payments Be Arranged?

Provider acceptance is separate from licensing. The General Code, section 8, requires approved arrangements.

How Do Alternative Routes Differ?

Compare company setup, permitted markets, review dependencies, ongoing duties and separate fee schedules for the same business model.
