What is the difference between casino licences and the games provider license?

[Cointxz]

as far as I know, casino licenses are related to the operators that run the casinos, including how they accept bets, manage player funds, and manage their businesses. While game provider licenses focus more on the companies that create and provide the games, including whether their games and RNG meet certain standards. (CMIIW)

So basically, just having a casino license ore game license doesn’t automatically mean that all of its game providers and casinos are trustworthy. But, at least if a provider have a license and audit history, it can be an important factor in building trust in their games or even for the casino. Ideally, both should have their own standards and controls by having a license.

You’re correct on this take.

They have different license since the one is for casino operators while the other is for the game itself but they do get license sometimes on same regulatory board depending on the country regulatory board structure.

Most of the time, game provider gets license on different country unlike online casino that normally avail only Curacao since their games are being offered too by local online casino of different country.

Game providers license, it's normally per game, so for a license casino to offer a game, it must also be licensed.

No, you don't need a license per game, what you need per game is technical certification to  prove it's fairness.

Thanks for the correction, maybe what I read was wrong. But can I request something, can you please attach proof published online that says those are the requirements for the games. I understand your point and I agree with that, but I just want to verify.

Both the casino operator anf the game providers are licensed by the same body, the regulators but their licenses differ. The operators obtain B2C licenses while the provider obtain B2B licenses. Casino game providers obtain their licenses from the regulators  to ensure that the game is fair and RNG-tested among other things. On the part of the casino, they obtain the licensed to be able to legally host the games from the providers.

I am confused with B2B and B2C when it comes to these casino license things. For example, when a casino offers a slot game, "Gates of Olympus" by Pragmatic Play, on its platform, it's not the casino that serves us, instead it's Pragmatic Play that serves the players from their server, right? You press the spin button, you win/lose, it's all processed by the game provider, right? CMIIW.

When we talk about the money, the casino itself doesn't purely handle the money alone, right? They need outsourcing to handle it, for example a payment gateway, and they are not keeping the money in their own account. The only thing that makes sense to me about why a casino needs a B2C license is that they have the authority to approve withdrawals/deposits and to freeze users' accounts.

For me, after I read this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5482508, I imagine a casino as a modular thing, like a puzzle. You can assemble it by choosing A, B, C providers in every category of services you need, like the games, the payment gateway, the referral system, the customer support, etc. Some may just rebrand a ready-made casino offered by white label casino solutions to make it easier.

All gambling software (for example, that which runs a slots game or sports betting service) must meet the Commission’s remote gambling and software technical standards if it is made available to customers, for example via an online casino or sports betting service in reliance on a Gambling Commission operating licence. Any such gambling software must be tested in accordance with the testing strategy5 prior to the game being made available to customers.

The simple definition to that is.

B2B - when Pragmatic offers games to a casino, for instance Rollbit, you call that "B2B" or Business to Business.

B2C - this is when Rollbit offers games to its customers, you call that "B2C" or Business to Customer.

I have always wanted to ask this question: if you visit some casinos, they will allow you to play some sports games and even some slot games, but some of the games' providers restrict players from some countries from accessing their games. Do these providers gain a general license or individual license from different countries, which makes them provide limited access even in places where a casino can be legal.

AFAIK, casino licences and the regulatory permission of game providers are separate, a casino can be legally operating in a jurisdiction and could for example have like 100 games in their casino but only 90 might be available while players in that jurisdiction will be restricted from 10 games reason being that the game providers of those 10 games may need authorization first before they can supply it to that jurisdiction. There's no general license that permits game providers to offer games in all countries where gambling is legal and many casinos are operating, but instead the game providers has to acquire individual licenses in different countries that it wish to supply games to the operators there.
