What you need to know about Costa Rica gaming license
You may establish an online gambling enterprise in Costa Rica without a gaming license. There may not be a licensing authority, iGaming legislation, or regulatory framework, but the nation is open to the business.
Some dishonest corporate service providers may overcharge for obtaining a gambling license in Costa Rica. Although Costa Rica does allow the establishment of internet gambling companies, the use of the term “license” is deceptive.
The primary business activity of a Costa Rican gambling corporation is the provision of gaming services via various internet platforms. Because of this, the operator is able to run its online gaming operations out of Costa Rica, a country without a comprehensive regulatory system for gambling sites.
Startups looking to “test the waters” before investing heavily in licensing could choose a Costa Rica gaming license, or even better, a gambling firm. You may launch an online gaming enterprise, fine-tune its software and website, and gauge its success among your target audience before expanding.
One disadvantage of a Costa Rica gaming license is that, due to the lack of a legitimate license, you will not be able to accept payments from standard merchants and payment providers like Visa and MasterCard. Alternatively, you may accept cryptocurrency payments first and then add fiat money if you choose to seek for a license in another country down the road.
A Costa Rica Gaming Company’s Advantages
You may open an internet casino, poker room, slot machine, sportsbook, and more out of Costa Rica by forming a gaming corporation there. International clients may purchase these services, but Costa Rica will not be able to. You may also provide gaming services to customers in the gambling and casino industries via the corporation.
Additional advantages including For online gambling sites that accept cryptocurrencies, Costa Rica is an excellent testing ground. The government’s ‘hands-off’ attitude to regulating online gambling and its crypto-friendliness make it an ideal testing ground before moving to a regulated country. Some crypto gaming firms based in Costa Rica only accept cryptocurrency and digital currencies as payment.
Here are some more advantages that Costa Rica gaming enterprises might reap:
- Effortless setup and turnaround
- Essential criteria for due diligence
- Unrestricted authority for owners and directors
- Relatively low prices and prices
- No paid-up capital is necessary.
- There is no need to go through the licensing procedure in this self-regulatory environment.
- No tax on winnings from gambling or betting No tax on winnings from sources outside of Costa Rica
- Excellent practice for when you need to apply for a license in a different state.
The company may then choose to remain in Costa Rica and accept just cryptocurrency payments or move to a jurisdiction with an online gaming license and fiat and cryptocurrency payments. InteliumLaw can assist you with starting in Costa Rica as a “sandbox,” then switching to another jurisdiction like Curacao, Tobique, Kahnwake or obtain Estonia gaming license.
For What Reasons Can a Gaming Company Consider Costa Rica?
Costa Rica’s economy, society, and politics are among Central America’s most stable. Business, cryptocurrencies, and internet gaming are supported by its government. Suppose they exclusively sell online games to foreigners. Online gambling in Costa Rica is prohibited and punishable.
Whatever the supplier, internet casinos and other games are legal. A license or permit is unnecessary here.
Costa Rica is perfect for crypto gaming. The local government accepts bitcoin payments from employers, demonstrating its embrace of crypto. Virtual currencies can pay more than the minimum wage, but fiat cash is needed first. Unregulated online gambling companies accept bitcoin and other digital payments. Costa Rica attracts iGaming firms and bitcoin processors.
