Once your corporate entities are set up, we can provide all the ongoing professional support needed to keep them in good standing. New Jersey passed its online gambling law in 2013. The new statute allowed Atlantic City casinos to apply for internet gaming permits. Those permits authorized the casinos to host a variety of online casino sites under their licenses. As a result, there are now more online casinos in New Jersey than in any other state in the union.

Gaming licenses we work with

Curacao is one of the most popular jurisdictions when it comes to gambling licenses. The license lets you run your iGaming business pretty much all over the world. Since 2014 SoftSwiss has held its Curacao remote gaming license. This enables us to provide our popular White Label Casino and White Label Sportsbook to dozens of happy clients. Moreover, the Curacao license openly allows the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies! This provides the legal ground to our “instant classic” Crypto Casino and Crypto Sportsbook solutions.

Malta is the top choice among gaming licenses and is the first country in the European Union to introduce remote gambling regulations. The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), one of the most prestigious licensing bodies on the globe, issues gaming licenses to casino platform providers to run White Label Casino and White Label Sportsbook operations worldwide.

Estonia is a relatively small market, but the local gaming legislation is very progressive. The Estonian license allows for participation of players from abroad, while the tax burden is not in the high range. Under the Estonian license SoftSwiss provides White Label Casino and White Label Sportsbook solutions. This became possible in 2019 after our acquisition of the local company Kingswin Online OÜ. Naturally, our gaming platform is all certified for working in Estonia, too.

The online segment of the gambling market in Belarus opened up in 2019. Gambling licenses are issued by the Ministry of Sport and Tourism. The SoftSwiss gaming platform was certified for operation in the official Belarusian iGaming market in 2020.

The Belgium Gaming Commission is an authority with the sole responsibility for licensing land-based and online gaming in Belgium. The SoftSwiss online casino platform has been officially approved for operation by the Belgium Gaming Commission since 2017.

Online gaming in Germany will become regulated in H2 2021. SoftSwiss is actively preparing its online gaming software platform to be compliant with the German requirements, so it is fully ready for participation in the newly regulated market once it becomes active.

Licensing Information and Reports

The New Jersey Casino Control Commission is responsible for the licensing of Atlantic City casinos and all of their key employees.

People who work in casinos, Internet gaming or sports pools may require a license or registration depending on the kind of job they perform.

Non-management jobs that have nothing to do with gaming activity, even if the employee is required to go into the casino, typically do not require a license.

Positions that require a Casino Key Employee License

Employees must obtain a Casino Key Employee License from the Commission if they are involved in the operation of a casino in a supervisory capacity or empowered to make discretionary decisions on casino operations. This includes pit bosses, shift bosses, credit executives, casino cashier supervisors, casino or simulcasting facility managers, managers and supervisors of information technology employees, junket supervisors, marketing directors, and managers or supervisors of casino security employees. Other employees must obtain a Casino Key Employee License if they are empowered to make discretionary decisions on the management of an approved hotel, including hotel managers, entertainment directors, and food and beverage directors. A detailed list of casino positions that have been deemed to require a casino key employee license can be found in the Commission's regulations, N.J.A.C. 19:41A-5.1. Certain employees of an Internet gaming affiliate or intermediary company involved in Internet or mobile gaming, and certain employees of a sports pool, online sports pool or sports pool lounge, must file an application for a Casino Key Employee License. The Commission may designate other employees who must obtain a Casino Key Employee License for reasons consistent with the policies of the Casino Control Act. N.J.S.A. 5:12-9.

An employee of a holding or intermediary company of a casino is not required to establish New Jersey residency. N.J.S.A. 5:12-89b(4).

Close
Temporary Casino Key Employee Licenses

A casino or a holding or intermediary company of a casino cannot employ a person in a position that requires a Casino Key Employee License unless the person holds a Casino Key Employee License or a Temporary Casino Key Employee License. To request a temporary license, a casino must file a petition with the Commission certifying that a vacancy exists or will exist within 60 days, the issuance of a temporary key employee license is necessary to fill the vacancy on an emergency basis to continue the efficient operation of the casino, and that the circumstances are extraordinary and not designed to circumvent normal licensing procedures. The Commission may issue a temporary license provided a complete application for a Casino Key Employee License is filed and the Division of Gaming Enforcement concurs. A temporary license is valid for nine (9) months unless otherwise terminated, and is valid only for the position requested in the petition and at the casino(s) specified on the license credential. N.J.S.A. 5:12-89e and N.J.A.C. 19:41A-5.3.

Multi-Casino Employee Endorsement - Key Employee

A casino key employee may perform compatible functions for two or more affiliated casinos provided the Division of Gaming Enforcement does not object and the Commission grants a multi-casino employee (MCE) endorsement. To request an MCE endorsement, the affiliated casinos must file a joint petition certifying that no incompatible functions will exist. If a temporary casino key employee license with an MCE endorsement is sought, the affiliated casinos may submit an electronic petition form. An MCE endorsement is valid only for the position requested in the petition and at the casinos specified on the license credential. N.J.S.A. 5:12-91.1 and N.J.A.C. 19:41A-5.4.

N.J.S.A. 5:12-94h(1) and N.J.A.C. 19:41A-6. The informational filing due date appears on the license credential. At that time, the licensee must file a Casino Key Employee License Review Application and the required application fee if they are still working in a position that requires a casino key employee license or if they otherwise wish to maintain the license. The original form and one copy are required. You must also submit two copies of all Federal and New Jersey tax returns filed since your last application. The licensee will be re-photographed if the prior photograph is more than 10 years old.
A licensee who is no longer working in a position that requires a license may, instead of filing a resubmission, request to be placed on an inactive list of casino key employee licensees for up to five years or apply to the Division of Gaming Enforcement to downgrade the license. Persons on the inactive list must file a resubmission with the Commission before they can be employed in a position that requires a Casino Key Employee License. N.J.A.C. 19:41A-6.1(e).
