Antigua Directorate of Offshore Gambling Online FAQ

Times have certainly changed, for at one time there was no shortage of gambling related companies who flocked to Antigua to take advantage of its low tax regime along with its quite easy to acquire gambling licenses.

In fact back in the 1990’s there were more gambling sites licensed and located in Antigua than anywhere else in the world, but as times change and with more and more countries now having put into place their own rules, regulations and laws surrounding online gambling sites that are accessible to their residents and citizens you will find only a small number of gambling sites are now located and licensed by the Antigua Directorate of Offshore Gambling.

Sadly it is true to say that Antigua became quite complacent in regards to licensing and regulating online gambling sites and over time they didn’t put the resources in place to offer players a direct channel of communication in regards to being able to submit complaints to the Antigua Directorate of Offshore Gambling in the hope that he would be able to step in and offer assistance in getting problems sorted out.

So with that in mind you are now only likely to find gambling sites that are licensed in Antigua are the ones that you are best advised to steer clear of, for those sites will allow and accept players from countries where online gambling has been deemed illegal or offer players access to real money games that may not have been certified as fair or random and as such you will never have any safeguards in place when playing at any such online gambling site.

Casino Game Fairness

Casino game fairness should be one of the things you look out for and always demand from any online gambling site you play at irrespective if that site is a poker, bingo or online casino, and as such any site you like the look of or are thinking of playing at should have had their entire suite of games tested and certified for fairness by one of the major online and land based casino game testing companies.

There are several companies who offer such a service including eCOGRA, iTech Labs, Gaming Associates, GLI Europe BV, GLI Test Labs Canada ULC, NMI Metrology & Gaming Ltd, BMM Compliance and SQS India Info systems PVT Ltd.

If for whatever reason you do decide to play and amble at any gambling site located and/or licensed in Antigua then always make sure there suit of games has been independently tested and certified as being fair and random by at least one of the above named companies or organisations.
