Our Expertise: Key Strategies for Bulgaria Licenses Services
Gambling & Gaming Licensing
Bulgaria gambling licensing under State Commission on Gambling regulation authorizes online casino, sports betting, poker, bingo, and lottery operations with EU market access and competitive 15% gambling tax on gross gaming revenue. We prepare license applications covering technical systems certification, player protection policies, responsible gaming measures, random number generator testing, and AML compliance frameworks. Requirements include Bulgarian company establishment, minimum BGN 500,000 share capital for online operators, local servers or certified hosting arrangements, and payment processing infrastructure supporting Bulgarian lev transactions. Our process manages initial permit applications (3-6 month timeline), gaming equipment certification, advertising compliance under gambling promotion restrictions, and ongoing obligations including monthly tax filings, annual audits, and regulatory reporting. We coordinate technical supplier approvals, affiliate marketing compliance, and player dispute resolution mechanisms ensuring sustainable gambling operations.
Financial Services & Payment Licensing
Bulgaria financial services licensing enables payment institution, EMI, investment intermediary, and fund management operations with EU passporting rights under BNB and FSC supervision. Payment institution licenses require €50,000-€125,000 initial capital scaling with transaction volumes, enabling payment processing, money remittance, and merchant acquiring across SEPA network. EMI licenses authorize e-money issuance with €350,000 minimum capital, quarterly reporting, and safeguarding obligations for customer funds. Investment firm authorizations under MiFID II cover securities dealing, portfolio management, and investment advice requiring €50,000-€730,000 capital depending on service scope. We prepare comprehensive applications including governance structures, risk management frameworks, IT security policies, outsourcing arrangements, and compliance manuals. Our support covers local director appointments, AML officer designation, ongoing prudential reporting, regulatory examinations, and passport notification procedures for cross-border EU operations.
