Izitifiketi zokugembula ze-inthanethi: iMalta, i-Isle of Man, iGibraltar, iCuracao, iKahnawake ne-UK

Imidlalo ye-inthanethi inelayisense yamazwe omhlaba, futhi ayikho ipasipoti. Ilayisense kusuka eMalta, eIsle of Man noma eGibraltar igunyaza umhlinzeki ngaphansi komthetho wombuso. Noma ngabe umhlinzeki angamukela abadlali abavela kwezinye izizwe kuxhomekeke emthethweni waleli lizwe.

Lo mhlahlandlela uqhathanisa abaqondisi abaphambili ngaphandle kwe-United States ukuthi ilayisense labasebenzi abahlinzeka ngemakethe yamazwe omhlaba, kanye nelayisense lezwe laseBrithani elikhulu. Lokhu kufaka phakathi izinkinga ezivame kakhulu zokucabanga ukuthi ngabe ibhizinisi lokugembula lisebenza kanjani: ukufinyelela kumabhange namasevisi wokukhokha.

Imibuzo emibini onke ama-operator kufanele aphendule

Umbuzo wokuqala wukuthi ibhizinisi livunyelwe kuphi. Le nto ichaza umphathi, imali engenayo, izimiso zezobuchwepheshe kanye nesimo AML lapho umsebenzisi ehlala khona.

Umbuzo wesithathu wukuthi lapho abadlali bayo bekhona. Amanani akhulayo ezweni adinga ilayisense lasekhaya nganoma iyiphi i-operator enikeza ukugembula kwabahlali babo, noma ngabe i-operator itholakala khona. IGreat Britain iyisibonelo esicacile, sichazwe ngezansi, futhi izifunda eziningi ze-EU zisebenzisa amasistimu abo omhlaba welayisensi.

Imiphumela ukuthi “hub” ilayisense yisisekelo senkampani isithako, ubuchwepheshe kanye nokuqapha. Ayikho imvume ukuhlinzeka yonke imakethe. Abahlinzeki imali nebhange bheka izixazululo ezimbili uma ekhetha ukuba asebenze nomsebenzisi.

i-Malta

Malta yindawo enkulu kakhulu ye-EU yamaqembu emidlalo yamahhala. Ukuthola ilayisense kungaphansi kweGaming Act (Isigaba 583 semithetho yaseMalta) kanye nemithetho yayo, elawulwa yi-Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).

• Critical Gaming Supply license: ilayisense yebhizinisi-ku-bhizinisi (B2B) yabahlinzeki bezinto ezibonakalayo zemidlalo, noma isofthiwe ephatha amarekhodi okulawula nokulawulwa.

I- Imithetho Yokugunyazwa Kwemidlalo (S.L. 583.05) uhlukanise izinsizakalo zokugembula zibe izinhlobo ezine:

Uhlobo lomdlalo	Isichazamazwi (isiqephu)

Uhlobo 2	Imidlalo ephikisana nekhaya lapho imiphumela ixhomekeka emicimbini yangaphandle futhi umhlinzeki uphatha umonakalo wakhe nge-odds: ukubheja kwe-odds eqinile
Uhlobo 3	Imidlalo engadlalwa eduze kwendlu, lapho umhlinzeki ethatha khona ikhomishini: i-poker, i-bingo, ukushintshaniswa kokubheja
Uhlobo 4	Imidlalo yekhono elawulwayo

Ngokusho kwesigaba 6 salezi zimiso, isikhathi selayisense yiminyaka eyisithupha uma izimiso zinganika okuthile okunye.

Idolobhakazi

I- MGA Inqubomgomo yezidingo zezimali imisa um kapitali wesiqalo esincane, oqukethe um kapitali wesiqalo okhishwe nokhokhelwe kanye nepremiyamu yesiqalo:

Ilayisense	Imali encane yengxenye
Ukukhiqizwa kwemidlalo ebalulekile (B2B)	i-EUR 40,000
Izinsizakalo zokugembula, Uhlobo 1	EUR 100,000

Izinsizakalo zokugembula, Uhlobo 4	i-EUR 40,000
Uhlobo oluningi	Izinga eliphelele, lifinyelela ku-EUR 240,000

Inqubomgomo nayo idinga ukuthi abanikazi belayisense bagcine indawo ephumelelayo yemali engenayo futhi bayibuyisele ngaphakathi kwezinkomba zesikhathi ezisetshenzisiwe uma ukulahleka kucindezela imali engenayo ngezansi kwe-zero. Umsebenzisi onezindleko zokumaketha ezinzima eminyakeni yakhe yokuqala, le mfanelo ivame ukuba nezidingo eziningi kunezimali zokungena.

i-Isle of Man

I-Isle of Man ivumela abahlinzeki be-inthanethi ngaphansi kwe-Online Gambling Regulation Act 2001. Ukuqapha kwenziwa yi-Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC), elawula futhi ukugembula okuhlukile kwe-isle AML ne-CFT umthetho.

I-Isle of Man iyi-Crown Dependency, ngaphandle kwe-UK kanye ne-EU. Ilayisense le-Isle of Man ngakho-ke aligcini nje ngokunikeza ukufinyelela eBrithani enkulu noma emazweni ase-EU. Ukuqina kwayo kuyisilawuli esikhona isikhathi eside esibhekene nokwethembeka okuqinile emininingwaneni yezobuchwepheshe kanye nokuvimbela ukubulala imali.

Uphendulo lwashicilelwa ngo-Okthoba 2025, ngakho-ke abafaki isicelo kufanele babheke ukuthi yiziphi izinguquko ezifakwe kusukela lapho.

Gibraltar: Gambling Act 2025

I-Gibraltar ibambe abahlinzeki abakhulu be-inthanethi iminyaka eminingi. Umthetho wayo welayisense ushintshiwe namuhla.

I- Umthetho wokugembula 2025 (Umthetho No. 2026-04) wathola isiqiniseko ngomhla ka-23 kuMashi 2026.

Kulabo abasebenza nabo abalingani babo, amaphuzu asebenzayo:

• Isimo selayisense sibalulekile. Amabhange nalabo abahlinzeka ngemali bangahlukanisa phakathi kwelayisense elikhishwa ngokusobala ngaphansi kwe-LOK nezinhlelo ezithathwe njengenkontileka edlule.
• Ukuqapha kuthuthukiswa. I-CGA ichaza ukuthi ayixazululi izingxabano zabadlali abahlukene, kodwa ukuthi izimangalo zingabonisa ukuphula imithetho ye-LOK futhi ziholela ekusebenzeni.
• Reputation lags reform. Izinhlangano eziningi zezezimali ziqhubeka nokusebenzisa ukunakekelwa okudingekayo kwabasebenza ngelayisense yaseCuracao, futhi umphathi kufanele alindele ukukhombisa ukulawula kwakhe ngaphezu kokuthembela kwilayisensi kuphela.

Ukukhokha kanye nokusebenza kwebhange:

Izinkampani eziningi zokugembula zithola ilayisense bese zibhekana nobunzima bokuvula ama-akhawunti ebhange, ukuthola ukukhokha kwekhadi noma ukugcina imali yomdlali. Izizathu ziyisakhiwo.

Kungani amabhange ekhathazekile

• AML ukubonakala. Ukugembula kubhekwa njengengozi ephakeme yokubulala imali ngenxa yokudluliswa kwezimali ezifanayo, amavolumu aphezulu kanye nokwenzeka kokuhamba kwemali nge-akhawunti yomdlali.
• Umthetho wemakethe. Ibhange eliphatha ukukhokhwa kwe-operator lingenza kube lula ukugembula okungagunyaziwe ezweni lapho umdlali etholakala khona. Amabhange abheka ukuthi iziphi izimakethe ezihlinzekwa yi-operator, hhayi kuphela lapho ilayisense likhona khona.
• Izinkokhelo ezibuyiselwe kanye nezingqubuzana. Izingqubuzana zekhadi, ukugembula nokukhathazeka ngokufinyeleleka kwezimali kwenza ukuthi abathengayo balahleke futhi babe nengozi yobudlelwano babo.
• Correspondent pressure. Amabhange amancane athembela kumabhange amancane ukuxazulula i-USD ne-EUR. Amabhange amancane avame ukuvimbela ukuphuma kwemidlalo, okukhawulela lokho amabhange amancane angakwenqaba.

Indlela yokulawula

AML izidingo eziphathelene nabahlinzeki bemidlalo zikhula. Umthetho (EU) 2024/1624 Idinga ukunakekelwa okudingekayo kwekhasimende ngezinkokhelo zokugembula ezingaphansi kuka-EUR 2,000, noma ngabe kuthengiso elilodwa noma emininingwaneni eminingi engeza kuleyo mali. Amazwe amalungu angakhipha ezinye izitolo zokugembula ezinomthelela ophansi, kodwa hhayi ama-casinos, ukugembula kwe-inthanethi noma ukubheja kwezinsizakusebenza ngaphandle kokuthi zilawulwa yisifundazwe. Umthetho uzosebenza kusukela ngomhla ka-10 kuJulayi 2027.

Imithetho yokukhokha nayo icindezelwa ezweni lonke. Ukunqanyulwa kwekhadi lesikweletu laseBrithani kuyisibonelo, futhi abaphathi abaningi bezwe babeka izibopho zabo ngezindlela zokukhokhela kanye nama-limits wediphozithi.

Into esiza

1. Match licenses to markets. Umhlinzeki onelayisense lezimakethe asebenza kuzo, futhi evimbela i-geo-ezinye, yikhasimende elilula kakhulu.
2. Bonisa iphrojekthi yakho ye-AML. Ukuhlolwa kwengozi yomthengi, umthombo wezimali zokubheka, ukulandelela inkokhelo kanye nomphathi oqeqeshiwe wolwazi lwemali elahlekile kufanele kubhalwe ngaphambilini kokufinyelela kwibhange.
3. Segregate player funds. Ukugcina izimali zomdlali zihlukaniswe nezimali zokusebenza, ngokulungisa okujwayelekile, kunciphisa umngcipheko wabadlali kanye nababhange bomsebenzisi.
4. Sebenzisa izinhlangano zokukhokha ezinelayisense. Ukusebenza nezinhlangano ezigunyaziwe zokukhokha kanye nezimali ze-e-mali eziqonde ukugembula kuvame ukuba ngcono kunalokho kokusebenzisana nobhange olulodwa.
5. Izinhlelo zokulahleka kwemisebenzi. Ubudlelwane bokubuyiselwa imali kumdlalo kungabuyiselwa ngesikhathi esincane. Abalingani ababini noma abaningi abatholayo kanye nababhange bakhuphula umngcipheko wokusebenza.

Isishwankathelo

Malta, Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Curacao ne Kahnawake ngayinye inikeza isisekelo sezinkampani zamazwe omhlaba, ngezinga elihlukile kakhulu lezinto, um kapitali kanye nokuqapha. IGibraltar neCuracao zombili zithole umthetho omusha kutshanje, futhi i-Isle of Man ivuselela izimiso zayo. IBrithani enkulu namanye amazwe amaningi adinga ilayisense labo lokuhlinzeka abadlali babo. Emisebenzini, ukukhokha nokungena kwebhange kuxhomekeke kancane kugama lelayisensi futhi ngaphezulu ngokuthi ngabe amamakethe we-operator, izinqubomgomo nezilungiselelo zemali yomdlali zihlala zibhekene nokuhlolwa.
