Operating model and application starting point

For Costa Rica, the starting service is a structure and operating-requirements assessment. Company or activity registration is not presented as equivalent to a universal remote gaming licence. We clarify the service, operating location and target markets before proposing a route.

Montex17 helps assess readiness and coordinate agreed preparation. The application route depends on the company’s role, technology and target markets.

Decisions to make before this project starts

What is actually supplied?

Distinguish game operation, data processing and support services when assessing activity-specific requirements.

Markets and payments

Document customer countries and payment-partner expectations. Incorporation alone does not establish market access.

Preparation step by step

  1. Product and markets

    We describe games, customers, territories and the operator or supplier role.

  2. Company and funding

    We map ownership, governance, funding and supporting background documents.

  3. Technology and controls

    We assemble an overview of the platform, providers, player checks and responsible gaming procedures.

  4. Application coordination

    We prepare agreed documents, coordinate clarifications and plan ongoing obligations.

Documents and preparation

The full list depends on the selected procedure. The following information helps with the initial project review.

  • Business plan, game types and target markets.
  • Applicant, ownership and management structure.
  • Funding and operating budget overview.
  • Platform, software and technical partner descriptions.
  • Plans for player identification, anti-money laundering and complaints.
  • Data protection, security and responsible gaming arrangements.

Application budget and timeline

Our fee depends on the preparation scope and the readiness of documentation and technology. Regulatory fees, potential audits and certification are quoted separately.

We prepare the schedule after the review. A consultancy service cannot guarantee regulatory decisions, bank approval or a specific processing time.

Regulatory reference

The official legal source addresses registration related to electronic betting intermediaries. Current project requirements need local verification.

Frequently asked questions

Does Montex17 issue the licence?

No. We support preparation and agreed administration. The competent authority issues the authorisation.

Must I already have a company?

You can contact us with a planned project. Describe the service, owners and target markets.

Does a licence allow services in every country?

No. Each target market needs separate assessment; market access cannot be inferred from the licence’s jurisdiction alone.
