Estonian iGaming licence and operating permit

Operating model and application starting point

In Estonia, an activity licence and an operating permit are distinct. Montex17 helps assemble ownership, funding and system information and plan the application sequence. A foreign licence does not replace the permissions required in Estonia.

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