How long does it actually take to get a gaming license? - Young Querida - 10-30-2025
Hi guys. I’m planning to launch an online betting platform soon, but I keep hearing that getting a gaming license can take forever. Some say a few weeks, others mention six months or more. I want to understand what really affects the timing - is it just paperwork delays, or do things like background checks and software testing make it longer depending on the country?

Hi! You’re right - the timeline varies a lot. In fast jurisdictions like Curacao, it might take just a few weeks if your documents are ready. But in stricter regions like Malta or the Isle of Man, expect several months due to financial reviews and technical audits. The real delay usually comes from background checks and compliance reviews.
