According to a report this week by This Is Guernsey, the Greentube organization is back in the online gambling news this week as the firm has become the latest to choose Alderney as their home for internet casino operations. The Austrian Greentube is a subsidiary of Astra Games and a member of the Novomatic Group, known best in the online gambling community for their skill games contributions to operators.

Alderney, located in the Channel Isles, is quickly becoming a hot spot for online gambling companies to base their operations. The small region offers a fair deal to operators, balancing well the regulations needed to adequately protect gamblers, decent tax rates to entice internet casinos to settle. Their communications systems surpasses many other host nations’, and licensing in Alderney comes with the added bonus of earning a white listing status for advertising in the UK.

The movement of Greentube is likely to be followed by similar transitions by a number of other companies, said the e-gambling director of e-commerce development for the island, Robin Le Provost. “Licensing and regulatory developments taking place across Europe mean that it is becoming more attractive to European gaming businesses to have an international base such as Alderney," he said. "What is significant for us with Greentube is that it is the beginning of a steady wave of interest from European-based companies.

In years past, the online gambling companies basing their operations throughout other regions in Europe have traditionally wanted to remain within the bounds of the European Union. That trend is changing says Provost, as a more international base is holding far more appeal in recent months.
