Costa Rica Gambling License, Poker Licenses, Sportbook Licence, Lottery, Gaming Licences in Costa Rica

It is permitted for businesses to conduct this activity in Costa Rica but you will need:

*

A Costa Rican Corporation
*

Registration with the tax authorities - Administracin Tributaria
*

A commercial license, which we obtain from the local government authorities

These gambling corporations work under a commercial license which can be obtained; Slogold will register the corporation and obtain the permits in all governmental institutions required, and fulfill any other specific requirement.

Once this is done we obtain the legal gambling license in the name of the corporation so the client is sure that his company will have no impediments to develop the intended objective.

Having a gambling license also helps corporations reach intended objectives without impediments along the way. To this end, most corporations set up in Costa Rica obtain a license.

In order to create a corporation in Costa Rica that will allow for licensing, it must deal in network administration or internet administration. All internet addresses from Costa Rica must be blocked from the server, since it is Costa Rica's strict policy that none of their citizens participate in online gambling. One must also create an offshore merchant account to deal with the transactions.

Surely this gambling commission, with over 300 websites operating out of Costa Rica, have a website of their own? Right?

You know, to market their country's services to foreign investors, like this..

Alderney
Malta
Antigua
One of the private corps authorize to do it in the Philippines

What's the address to the Costa Rican gambling commission's website?
 
Smitchy, obviously you need a legal Costa Rican corporation to operate out of Costa Rica but there isn't any gambling commission or gaming license.

Smitchy many suckers, mainly American wanna be bubble gum bookmakers, have fallen for the Costa Rican gaming license scam.

I once tried to become a bubble gum bookmaker, gut burried, had to chew Dentyne from then on :banghead:
 
In September 2007, the Partido Accion Ciudadana introduced a bill that would tax sports books and other electronic betting operations based on the number of employees on their payroll. The annual tax begins at firms with 10 employees with a fee of 10 million colons a year and reaches the top of the scale with a tax of 28.4 million colons for companies with more than 61 employees.

Not long ago government has introduced a new law for obtaining an online gaming license. The new license clearly states “internet gaming” as the licensed business activity. It takes 1-2 months to process the license and have it registered.

The cost for the Costa Rican corporation and license is $15,000 compared to €60,000 -€100,000 to in many other countries. Once you have the license, it is €1000 or $1,500 USD every three months to keep it active.

Nope.

MEIC is a Ministro. How can I compare it so you can understand... its like a Department in the US, like Department of Education, Department of Homeland Security etc,.

Branches under it serves to tax businesses, foment growth, public safety, regulations etc,.

The so call "data processing" or "data center" license is a license granted by a branch under MEIC which was developed to regulate "internet" companies, be it whatever activity they do, back then when the internet was in its infancy. Because internet is a communication medium, and you understand every single country in the world regulates communication, they developed that. Its not a gaming license. Because nationals are not permitted to gamble, it is not require to operate a book.



The email link is a link to the Gibraltar regulation body and has nothing to do with Costa Rica, different country way on the other side of the Atlantic. In the south of Spain, a British over seas territory.

obvious wrong email address. [email protected] .How much is the data processing license? Is the tax based upon number of employees?

I'm not updated to how much that license cost now a days.

They are taxed normally. Many, many times they have tried to introduced special rules for gaming corps but they always end up shot down, they never make it into law.
