Jurisdiction overview Tobique
Tobique jurisdiction and legal framework for licensing
Tobique (Tobique) is the territory of an Indigenous community located in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada, which holds the right to independently regulate certain types of economic activities, including online gambling. The licensing of iGaming projects is carried out within an internal regulatory model based on principles of self-governance and operating within the applicable Canadian legal framework.
The legal basis for licensing in Tobique is formed through regulatory acts and rules adopted by local self-governing authorities, taking into account Canadian federal legislation and generally accepted international standards in the field of remote gambling. This approach allows the jurisdiction to ensure centralized licensing oversight while maintaining flexibility for cooperation with international operators.
Regulation and administration of gambling licenses are performed by a specialized authority – Tobique Gaming Commission, which is responsible for issuing licenses, supervising operator activities, and ensuring compliance with established regulatory requirements. The regulatory model is focused on transparency, financial flow control, and compliance with payment infrastructure standards.
The Tobique gambling license applies to remote gambling operations and is designed for online operators conducting activities outside of Canada. The license is used in international iGaming projects, including online casinos, betting platforms, and B2B services, subject to compliance with target market restrictions and applicable compliance requirements.
Due to its North American legal context, centralized regulatory approach, and the strong reputation of the Canadian jurisdiction, the Tobique license is perceived as a structured and reliable solution for projects that work with payment providers, PSPs, and financial partners, for whom a high level of trust and transparency is essential.

Feedback from our clients on Google
I needed help with an Anjouan license for a new online casino project. A colleague referred me to Finextwin, and I’m glad they did. Everything was organized quickly, I received a clear list of documents, and they handled all communication with the regulator. We had the license in just 3 weeks. Great support throughout.
Thanks to Finextwin for their professionalism. We registered a U.S. company for marketplace operations, and everything was done remotely. We've already entered the American market - all thanks to Finextwin's help.
I was referred to Finextwin by a colleague for urgent company registration in Singapore. From the first email to receiving all the documents, it took exactly two weeks. Everything was handled remotely with excellent support. Really impressed with their professionalism.
