The Online Gambling (Exclusions) Regulations, and subsequent Amendment 2014 stipulate that the following activities do not require an OGRA Licence:

 

• Advertising

• Marketing Analysis and Services

• Administration

• Web Design

• Software Design

• IT Services

• Protection of Player Funds

• Presentation of Results of Play

• Call Centres

• Download Servers

• Relay Servers

• Tournament Facilitators

• Upload and Modifier Servers

 

The Isle of Man has no current plans to regulate Social Gaming and is therefore an ideal location to host and operate a Social Gaming Platform from. 

 

It is prudent that companies looking to establish their Social Gaming Platform in the Isle of Man first of all gain confirmation that their business activities fall outside the OGRA Regulations.
