In this article, I will go through some common solutions used by large gambling affiliates and pros and cons.

Banking for an e gaming affiliate company in Cyprus - an honest discussion on what banks are looking for and which banks should you avoid
Now here comes the part that needs more attention. Understandably a gambling affiliate does not offer gambling services. So you can assume that opening a bank account in any bank that you wish should not be a problem.

That’s not always the case.

The good news is that having a setting up a Cyprus company as an E gaming affiliate in Cyprus does solve a lot of the issues E gaming operators and affiliates face. Its EU, reputable, it can provide the necessary substance (Offices, Employees etc) and is not in an exotic island in the middle of nowhere.

An important factor setting up a Cyprus company as an E gaming affiliate in Cyprus is substance which is crucial for Banking purposes. You need an office or a flexidesk in order for banks to open you a bank account. Secondly you need to have employees. And a utility bill on the flexidesk/ office. Good news we can make that happen!

Where can I bank using my Cyprus company as an Affiliate?
Gambling-hostile jurisdictions should be avoided at all costs. I include those that their constitution and their banks risk appetite (or business model) do not accept. Fine no issue. Even if you manage to open an account as an E gaming affiliate then its only a matter of time before they throw you out. You would not want to happen especially if your Affiliate venture starts building up revenue form the Ads.

Operating under a company especially in the e gaming affiliate industry can be tricky. It can be great if you bank in the same jurisdiction as you incorporate. However, that is not always the case and this can be confusing to traditional banks (given that they accept your line of business). Moreover it is a cyclical and highly volatile world so you need to keep in touch with the latest trends in banking.

So where should I bank? Easy, Electronic money Institutions. They have taken the Gaming world by storm and they understand that every businesses have banking needs. Even if E gaming affiliates do not have to do directly with gaming us such and they direct traffic. Most of them are licensed in EU countries under their respective financial services authority so there is a great deal of assurance there.

As everything in life there is no one size fits all solution. It all depends on where your company is established, from which gaming jurisdiction you will be receiving funds from, which countries will you be targeting for Affiliate marketing, your place of tax residency etc. Lots of different variables.
Nevertheless that is where we step in. We analyse your variables and see what suits you and your new E gaming affiliate company better.
One thing is for sure though.

E gaming affiliate company incorporation does give you a good chance of getting a bank account than other offshore jurisdictions. 

Opening a bank account (Traditional) an e gaming affiliate company in Cyprus 
Not all hope is lost. If you prefer to bank in a “bricks and mortar” bank we can help you with that too.
But is wise you go through a professional intermediary like ourselves in order to minimize the chances of receiving a hard blown No for an answer.
Some Banks that accept currently e gaming affiliate companies setup in Cyprus wish to have you as their Client for your personal, wealth and other banking. Much like a relationship. So there is hope. And yes it is like give or take.

Tax residency in Cyprus as a Non Domicile Individual
So we managed to discuss about the structure of your E gaming Affiliate company incorporated in Cyprus, banking and what to look out for.
Next is your personal tax residency. Because even if Cyprus companies do not charge dividend tax on Cyprus residents; your country of residency may well do at a high rate. 

Personally I find it difficult to comprehend how someone can stay in a remote tax free island for at least 183 days so that their tax bill is lowered. It just does not make sense. Yes its cool for the first two weeks maybe. But then I don’t think you are going to be happy.
For Cyprus things are different. There are two programs that can enhance your tax bill and make you as tax efficient as can be:
  1. Cyprus 60 day tax rule
  2. Non Domicile tax status
Cyprus 60 day tax rile allows you to become a tax resident of Cyprus for living at least 60 days on the island and not spending more than 183 in one place. So you will be taxed as a Cyprus tax resident taking advantage of the beneficial Cyprus tax system whilst not limiting yourself only in Cyprus.
The other Non Domicile tax status? Basically, if you haven’t lived in Cyprus over the last 17 out of 20 years you can get a beneficial tax treatments on your dividend tax. In other words Dividends that you claim from your E gaming affiliate company in Cyprus will be tax free and you will only need to pay NHS (National Health Service) contributions of 2.65%.

Bottom line? A good corporation tax rate of 12.5% , an effective tax rate of Dividend sourced from Cyprus at 2.65% and living only for 60 days in a EU country that has sandy beaches, excellent infrastructure, a skilled workforce and a great location to grow your business.

Sounds like a bargain to me.
