Alderney Gambling Control Commission

The Alderney Gambling Control Commission was established in 2000 to license online gaming operators. Alderney is one of the Channel Islands in the English Channel between England and France. It is tiny, but has a business-friendly attitude. Alderney offers its license holders a 0% tax rate, and only collects a yearly fee from the operators.

The AGCC has a solid reputation in the industry, though its slow response in de-licensing Full Tilt Poker in the wake of the Black Friday Scandal spurred criticism. When Alderney did suspend the license, it led Full Tilt to shut down worldwide operations.

Established in May 2000 the AGCC is widely thought of as one of the best casino regulatory bodies in operation today, working with many of the biggest names in online gambling.
