State Licenses

Justgamblers Vision for a Sustainable Online Gambling Industry

“We want industry participants to put the same innovation, tools, and devotion into customer protection and responsible gambling as they do with driving profitability. Regulations and licensing help realize this vision as everyone is held to the same high standards. Beyond that, it’s everyone’s responsibility to raise awareness of the potential risks of online gambling, to create a genuine public commitment to minimize harm.”
Magnus Boberg, Co-Founder and Managing Director of JustMedia Ltd.

Purpose of Licenses

The purpose of gambling licenses, particularly affiliate licenses, is to support the following aspects.

Regulations and licenses allow the government, society, industry participants, and consumers to work together to improve the standards for online gambling, where the most important aspect is social responsibility:

Crime and misconduct should be kept out of gambling and society.
Online gambling should be conducted in a fair and open way.
Children and other vulnerable persons should be protected from the potential harm or exploitation from gambling.

Trust and Dependability

Since safety is integral to online gambling regulations, a primary purpose is to make it safer for all participants. Licenses create trust between vendors and service providers, consumers, governments, and the public. This improves safety in the whole iGaming value chain.

Marketing and Advertising Standards

The ways and means of advertising and distributing information about online gambling should be held to the same high standards as that of the activity of gambling in actual online casinos or sportsbooks. Marketing and advertisements of online gambling products and services must be conducted in a socially responsible manner, primarily:

Ensuring that marketing communications do not mislead consumers.
Consumers are only directly approached about marketing communications with their informed and specific consent.
Only feature adults in marketing communications relating to online gambling.
Do not place digital advertisements on websites providing access to illegal content or unauthorized access to copyrighted content.

Determining Suitability

Licenses only allow suitable persons and businesses to carry out the activities the license allows. Regulatory bodies in the United States consider the suitability and require evidence to support and enable the assessment of pursuants of affiliate licenses.

✅ Identity and ownership.
✅ Finances.
✅ Integrity.
✅ Competence.
✅ Background.
❌ Criminality.
