The Alderney Gambling Control Commission was founded in May of 2000 under The Gambling (Alderney) Law, 1999. In July of 2006, the Commission introduced new provisions to its legislative framework.The Commission created the first eGambling license which encompasses multiple gaming types; casino, poker, sportsbook, or lottery. The annual fee for this type of license is GBP £70,000. The applicant must pay the cost of all investigations required for the issuance of a license, and a deposit of GBP £10,000 is required at the time of application. Compliance testing is also required for all gaming systems and is the responsibility of the licensee.The Commission also introduced a Restricted Use eGambling license in July 2006 allowing operators to operate a mirrored site from within the jurisdiction while their primary site operates elsewhere.The Alderney Gambling Commission voted on February 28, 2005 to allow a "free market approach towards e-gambling." This decision allows the jurisdiction's licensees to accept bets from players in all other countries, including the United States. As of December of 2006, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission had issued 24 eGambling licenses and no Restricted Use licenses.
