Global Gaming Solutions welcomes the Isle of Man Government’s commitment to the iGaming sector

Global Gaming Solutions has welcomed a statement from the Isle of Man Government reaffirming its commitment to the iGaming sector. It comes after a year that tested confidence across parts of the industry.

The Isle of Man Government highlighted its strong iGaming history in a statement released today by the Department for Enterprise. The Island’s reputation comes from robust regulation, political and economic stability, and close working between Government, regulators and industry. The statement reaffirmed that iGaming remains a core and enduring part of the Isle of Man’s economy, now and into the future.

The Chief Minister said the Government has strengthened its understanding of risk in response to a more complex global environment. He added that additional resources and frameworks are now in place to respond to emerging threats. The statement confirmed that ICE 2026 in Barcelona is the starting point for a coordinated programme of engagement. Digital Isle of Man and other agencies will continue to make the case for the Island as a secure and trusted home for well-regulated iGaming.

Responding to the announcement, Global Gaming Solutions said the statement provides important reassurance for existing licence holders and prospective businesses operating in the sector.

Mark O’Neill, Managing Director of Global Gaming Solutions, said:

“The Isle of Man Government’s reaffirmation of its commitment to the iGaming sector provides important clarity and reassurance for existing licence holders and the wider global industry. The Island’s long-standing focus on robust regulation, awareness and mitigation of emerging risks and constructive engagement with industry continues to underpin its reputation as a trusted and well-governed jurisdiction.”

Global Gaming Solutions added that clear, public affirmation of Government support plays a valuable role in maintaining confidence during periods of change, particularly for jurisdictions with a strong international reputation for regulatory quality and cooperation.

The Isle of Man Government stated that it will continue to work closely with industry. The aim is to support sustainable growth, meet international standards, and secure the sector’s long-term success. The Government will carry out further outreach and information sharing over the coming year to ensure regulatory expectations and emerging risks are clearly understood.
