A Manx-based eGaming company has become the first to apply for a licence in Jersey.
Playtech, which develops gaming software, is applying for a remote gambling licence under laws introduced in 2008.
It's the first official request for a licence as Jersey tries to build up its eGaming offering.
But the Channel Island has been at a disadvantage because, unlike the Isle of Man, it hasn't been whitelisted by the United Kingdom, so companies based there can't advertise to the British market.
