Tobique Gaming License (TGC)
A Tobique gaming license is a rapidly rising, highly competitive international iGaming framework. Regulated by the Tobique Gaming Commission (TGC) — established under the sovereign authority of the Tobique First Nation (Neqotkuk) in New Brunswick, Canada — it operates independently of Canadian federal or provincial restrictions. Because it offers a 0% tax model, zero local office requirements, and incredibly fast processing times, it has positioned itself as the go-to alternative to a Curaçao license for startups and mid-tier digital operators. Tobique relies on a "Single-License" model. A single B2C Remote Gaming License covers all major verticals simultaneously (Online Casino, Slots, Live Dealer, Sportsbook/Bookmaker, Poker, Bingo, and Lottery-style products). You do not need to purchase separate permits for sports betting and slots. If you are a software developer, game aggregator, or white-label platform supplier providing tech stacks rather than hosting players, the TGC issues a dedicated B2B Casino or Sports Wagering Software License.
Globally, subject to restrictions in jurisdictions with strict local licensing.
Does not grant access to regulated markets like the UK or EU without local licenses.
Limited recognition outside of specific industry circles; considered an offshore/tribal license.
