Costa Rica License Overview
-
No Official Licensing Authority There is no official regulatory body for gambling in Costa Rica, no specific iGaming laws, and no established oversight framework for the sector.
-
Not a Real License Some service providers may try to sell a "Costa Rica Gaming License," but this is misleading. It’s essentially a business registration rather than an official gambling license.
-
Opportunity for Startups Setting up a gambling company in Costa Rica allows businesses to "test the waters" without major licensing costs, making it attractive for startups.
-
Payment Provider Limitations Due to the absence of a real license, companies registered in Costa Rica cannot work with major payment providers such as Visa and MasterCard. Payments are typically handled through cryptocurrency or alternative methods.
-
Limited Client Base Companies registered in Costa Rica are not allowed to offer gambling services to local residents — operations are restricted to international clients only.
-
Difficulty Opening Corporate Accounts Opening a corporate account for a gaming business in Costa Rica can be challenging due to the strong influence of U.S. financial regulations on the country’s banking system.
Conclusion: The Costa Rica license is not technically a true gambling license. However, the ability to easily register a company and operate internationally makes it an appealing option for startups and smaller operators.
