Current license status (Antigua and Barbuda)
Current license status
What counts as "current status"
The official public register FSRC → Division of Gaming divides the register into two groups: Active Licenses (companies with valid permissions for Interactive Gaming/Interactive Wagering) and Non-Licensees (entities falsely claiming an Antiguan license). This is the main source of status checks for the current date.
Current licensees (registry)
On the "Licenses" page, company cards are published indicating the type of license and validity (valid until). Below are some illustrative examples from the Active Licenses section:- IL NIDO Ltd - Interactive Gaming & Interactive Wagering licenses; the card shows the associated bodog domain link. eu; valid until January 1, 2026
- Continental Ventures Ltd. - Interactive Gaming license; valid until September 21, 2025
- Itagui Inc. - Interactive Gaming license; valid until 27 May 2025
- Atum Poisson Ltd. - Interactive Gaming license; indicates the associated brutalcasino storefront. com; valid until March 3, 2026
Types of permits and legal framework
The online sector is regulated by Interactive Gaming & Interactive Wagering Regulations (IGIWR, 2007) with subsequent 2008 amendments. It is these regulations that introduce two basic types of permits:- Interactive Gaming (online casinos/poker and other "games") and Interactive Wagering (betting services).
Submission procedures and forms (Schedules A-E, including Schedule E - Key Person) are available on the FSRC website under Licensing Application and in separate PDFs.
How to check your license yourself
1. Check the FSRC public register - Licenses → Active Licenses section: the holder company, license type and date "valid until" are indicated there; in a number of cards there is an official link to the brand domain.
2. Look for "Preferential Seal" on the company's card in the registry - this is a visual mark of the current permission from Directorate of Offshore Gaming.
3. Check the product type: casino/poker must correspond to Interactive Gaming, bets - Interactive Wagering; some companies have both licenses.
4. Watch out for "Non-Licensees" - FSRC separately publishes entities that do not have licenses, but declare the opposite.
Validity and extension
In the card of each licensee, the FSRC publishes the line "License Valid Until" - it indicates the deadline for the current license period. Renewal is carried out according to IGIWR procedures (renewal, including forms and fees), after which the registry updates the date. The examples of dates in the cards above show that different companies have different dates and are regularly updated.
Where to watch procedures and fees
Licensing Application (FSRC) - start instructions and list of forms/templates for Interactive Gaming/Interactive Wagering.
IGIWR-2007 and Amendment-2008 - regulatory framework for applicant requirements, Key Person, KYC/AML, IT controls and reporting.
Context: regulator positioning
The FSRC emphasizes the goal of maintaining Antigua and Barbuda's "Tier-1 conviction of choice" status for offshore online gaming and applying "internationally best practices" in surveillance and enforcement.
Important caveats
The registry is dynamic. The list of active companies and their dates are updated as extensions/changes - when referring to the status, always give the date of the check and make a screen/save of the card. Basis: FSRC "Licensees" public page.
Domain matching. The presence of a link on the card (for example, bodog. eu at IL NIDO) helps to verify the legal entity ↔ brand, but operators can use other domains/showcases - check the current instructions on the card itself and in the T&C site.
The "current status of licences" in Antigua and Barbuda is confirmed through the official FSRC register. Today, the Active Licenses section publishes current holders with the type of license (Interactive Gaming/Wagering) and expiration dates; examples include IL NIDO Ltd (up to 01. 01. 2026, Gaming & Wagering), Continental Ventures Ltd (до 21. 09. 2025, Gaming), Itagui Inc (до 27. 05. 2025, Gaming), Atum Poisson Ltd (до 03. 03. 2026, Gaming). Legal foundation - IGIWR-2007 and Amendment-2008; forms and instructions are located in the Licensing Application section. For quick verification, look for the card in the registry and "Preferential Seal" is the official confirmation of valid status.
