Not reviewed Reported restrictions on Apple iOS and Google Play app-store availability and on Google Ads and Meta Ads placement apply to Tobique-licensed gambling products, alongside mandatory IP-based geo-gating of restricted markets, a low-confidence finding not independently confirmed against any TGC-published policy. These restrictions appear to derive substantially from third-party app-store and ad-network gambling policies rather than from a TGC-specific distribution instrument, meaning they likely apply to Tobique-licensed operators as a function of the broader platform ecosystem rather than as a bespoke regulatory requirement. The geo-gating requirement is described as IP-based, consistent with the geo-blocking licence condition reported elsewhere for restricted markets including the United Kingdom, the United States, Israel, Ontario, New Brunswick, and FATF-sanctioned countries. Operators should expect the same platform-level constraints that apply broadly across offshore-licensed gambling products, rather than a materially different distribution regime specific to Tobique.

There is no requirement currently to have infrastructure in Tobique though it may in the future be necessary to have a form of replication server in Tobique to facilitate transactional review by TGC or DLAG. There are requirements under the general codes of practice to adhere to data security and disaster recovery standards. See: https://thetgc.ca/regulatory-documents/ Integrations. There is no need for integration with problem gambling databases or monitoring sites per se, however regulatory reporting will be required via the DLAG administration portal, as set out in the General Codes. Restricted territories will need to be geo-blocked. Software Certification.
