Manx Telecom has announced that it has been licensed as an approved e-Gaming Disaster Recovery Provider by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission.
The company’s involvement in e-Gaming dates back to the earliest days of the sector, having hosted the first ever live e-Gaming sites to register with the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission, in 2001.
Since then, Manx Telecom has invested heavily in the Island’s data centre and telecommunications infrastructure.
Manx Telecom’s new licence will cover all of its data centre operations on-Island, enabling it to provide disaster recovery services to e-Gaming businesses worldwide. Manx Telecom owns and operates a number of data centre sites on and off Island, including the Island’s only purpose built data hosting facility.
Commenting, Garth Kimber, Head of e-Gaming Development at the Isle of Man Department for Trade and Industry, observed that:
“The Island continues to attract e-Gaming companies, due in part, to our approach to licensing. Manx Telecom has made significant investments, and having an e-Gaming disaster recovery licence can only be good news for the company, and for the Island.”
