Isle of Man ‘now world’s most attractive base for crypto companies’

The Isle of Man is now the world’s most attractive territory for blockchain-based businesses, according to a regulatory specialised based on the island.

Regulators in the Isle of Man have announced a new “subject to” registration process designed to provide cryptocurrency companies with certainty.

Given current travel restrictions during the global pandemic, the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority (IOMFSA) has introduced a “subject to” registration, allowing crypto businesses to register without the need for an immediate physical presence on the island.

Crypto businesses are usually required to have at least two Isle of Man resident directors but the “subject to” registration allows them to register as long as all other criteria are met. This timely change is designed to allow greater certainty to firms considering the Isle of Man as a base and follows reports of businesses being “left in limbo” by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK.

SolutionsHub, based in Douglas, is a world-leading provider of blockchain technology and crypto regulation services.

CEO Lee Hills said: “The Isle of Man continues to set the standard when it comes to the regulation of emerging digital sectors, not least Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).

“Not only does the island’s regulatory framework encourage and support good quality business, but there is also a willingness to work dynamically, to update processes and procedures, to move with the times and adapt to new challenges and opportunities.

“I would argue that the Isle of Man is now the most attractive home for DLT companies serious about doing business properly and having a solid foundation from which to grow.”

Digital Isle of Man Regulatory Lead Steve Billinghurst said: “This welcomed option comes at a time when crypto businesses are looking for some regulatory certainty, not just for the final outcome but for the process and regulatory direction.

“The route to registration for crypto businesses has been well trod by the IOMFSA over the past five years, each time they continue to adapt and strengthen the opportunities available.

“The area of regulation for crypto currencies and digital assets is continually moving, just consider the amount of developments in 2021.

“The IOMFSA continues to support good quality crypto business being able to work within a leading regulatory jurisdiction in a way that maintains the fight against financial crime, supports the positive reputation of the Isle of Man and provides consumer protection.”

BetOnline.ag, a preeminent global online sportsbook, casino and poker platform, announced a strategic partnership with Sweet to integrate $SCOR as a newly supported cryptocurrency.

$SCOR, the native token powering verified fan identity and rewards across major professional sports, is now available for deposits and withdrawals within the BetOnline cashier, just in time for Super Bowl Sunday on February 8.

This integration establishes a direct utility lane for the $SCOR, allowing fans to use tokens — earned through engagement in officially licensed sports games or purchased on exchanges — for real-world gameplay on a leading gaming platform.

For BetOnline, the partnership represents a strategic entry point into the burgeoning world of on-chain sports fandom, connecting the platform with high-value, verified fan liquidity.

“We are constantly evolving to meet our players where they are, and that now includes the intersection of sports fandom, gaming and blockchain. $SCOR isn’t just another cryptocurrency…it’s the premier token of the sports industry. This partnership allows us to directly engage with a new generation of sports fans who value real-world gameplay, verifiable achievements and interoperable rewards,” said Eddie Robbins III, CEO of BetOnline.ag.

$SCOR functions as the on-chain layer for fan identity, verifiable engagement and portable rewards across Sweet’s network of major professional sports IP partners that boast officially licensed sports-themed web3 PvP and mini games.

By accepting $SCOR, BetOnline gains a direct connection to verified fan activity from SCOR’s ecosystem of major professional sports IP partners, introducing a high-value audience of competitive sports fans and crypto-savvy players.

To celebrate the launch, BetOnline will offer exclusive deposit perks for $SCOR users, including free-play credits and casino spins for qualifying deposits. Future community activations are planned, featuring token-gated private poker and casino tournaments for verified $SCOR holders, with prizes awarded in both $SCOR and cash.

“We built $SCOR to bridge the passion of sports fandom with tangible utility and value. BetOnline’s integration is a landmark moment, turning fan-earned $SCOR into a key for premium gaming experiences. This partnership validates our vision of a reward-first portable fan identity,” Sweet EVP of Global Partnerships Betsy Proctor said.

Initial performance metrics from providers utilizing GR8 Tech’s Crypto Turnkey solution indicate notable enhancements in player conversion and operational efficiency within months of transitioning to cryptocurrency payments.

Operators utilizing Crypto Turnkey are indicating:

● 1.6 times greater conversion for initial and subsequent deposits

● Cost per transaction can be as much as 3 times lower than conventional payment methods.

● Withdrawal processing up to 2.5 times quicker

“The conversion improvements and cost reductions we see would take much longer to achieve through payment optimization alone,” said Denys Parkhomenko, GR8 Tech CPO. “Crypto Turnkey unlocks access to the fastest-growing and highly valuable player demographic in iGaming. When over half of your target audience is already using crypto for investments, offering it as a payment method is a must—numbers prove it.”

The findings confirm the business rationale presented at Crypto Turnkey’s inception: cryptocurrency eliminates reliance on payment providers and draws higher-value participants who deposit larger amounts and wager more often. With settlement finishing within minutes rather than days, operators are experiencing enhanced margins and clearly superior player satisfaction.

Crypto Turnkey is now accessible worldwide and can be implemented as a new option or transitioned from Hyper Turnkey.
