Which words in a Gibraltar company name need extra approval?
Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)
Gaming words such as Bet, Casino or Play are referred to the Gambling Division, and finance words such as Bank, Crypto or Trust need a no-objection from the financial regulator, which it gives only once the licence is in place. Names with abbreviations need a signed letter explaining them, and non-English words need a translation letter. We check your three name choices against these rules before filing.
