The National Lottery Authority of Liberia has opened applications for its new international online gaming license. The process runs by the official government portal and marks an important step for the regulated gaming sector of Liberia.

The NLA structured the license as a complete turnkey package for global operators. The offer includes a locally incorporated Liberian company. It also consists of a dedicated corporate bank account with B2B SWIFT transfers in EUR and USD. Remove bank account opening is available for approved applicants. The package gives a full online gaming license covering casino, sports betting, as well as lottery. The license includes a local Anti-Money Laundering Officer, as well the NLA covers the salary for the first 12 months. Each operator receives a unique registered business address in Monrovia. Public registration, as well as verification appear on the official government domain.
The authorities issued a legal opinion supporting the new structure on October 31 of this year. The document came from one of the established corporate practices in Liberia, Dolo & Associates Law Firm. It confirms that the licensing framework operates fully within the National Lottery Authority Act of 2014 and related regulations. The document also states that licenses carry no territorial restrictions and may be used to offer services worldwide where remote gaming is not expressly prohibited. It also notes that the regulatory regime meets recognized international standards for oversight, player protection, and anti-money laundering measures.
The authorities designed the licensing process for fast completion. NLA expects to conclude the procedure within an estimated 30 business days after receiving all documents. The authority has confirmed that applications are now open, with the first public batch scheduled for formal issuance in December.
