Jersey Remote Gambling Disaster Recovery Regulations In Force
Jersey's new Gambling (Remote Gambling Disaster Recovery) (Jersey) Regulations 2008 were put in place earlier this year, representing the first step in the legislative programme of modernisation of Jersey's gambling laws. According to the Jersey authorities, these are the first 'new' gambling regulations to be passed
by the States Assembly in 42 years. The Gambling (Remote Gambling Disaster Recovery) (Jersey) Regulations 2008 came into force on
January 22nd of this year, and have subsequently been welcomed by the industry. The Regulations allow companies who are licensed to operate remote gambling
services in other jurisdictions to place their disaster recovery, or backup
systems, in Jersey and, in the event of disaster, operate temporarily from Jersey.
The Regulations create a licensing regime for both the hosting facility providers
and remote gambling operators requiring disaster recovery provisions in Jersey.
