whitelisting

Whitelisted non-EEA countries can advertise their remote gambling services in the UK.

Antigua and Barbuda was added to the list of places allowed to advertise remote gambling in the UK as if they were an EEA state in November 2008. A full assessment of their application ensured it met the criteria set out in the Government’s ‘Whitelisting’ document. 

The States of Alderney and the Isle of Man and Tasmania are the only two other jurisdictions to have previously been added to the list of places permitted to advertise.

The effect of these decisions is that only gambling operators licensed in EEA countries (including Gibraltar), Alderney, Isle of Man, Tasmania or Antigua and Barbuda can lawfully advertise their remote gambling services in the UK.
