Mansion to Relocate?

Mansion, the popular online casino, is rumored to be moving from its home in Gibraltar. To fight back those rumors, a publication in Gibraltar called “Panorama” released a statement that said that the very popular online casino is indeed not moving, they have merely made some staffing cutbacks. The rumors said that Mansion would be moving to Israel or Singapore. Either place would be a great home for online casinos, but rest assured people of Gibraltar. They are not going anywhere. Mansion employs somewhere around 150 people of Gibraltar. This is all good news for those people employed by Mansion as well as for the company itself.
Gibraltar is a territory of the United Kingdom and it has very strict regulations that are known very well and respected in the online casino world. Gibraltar is one of the few places that has a credible operation that is listed on the UK Gambling Commission's white list, which means that they are an approved licensed jurisdiction. Not every online casino has this kind of reputation. The rumors that they would be moving to Singapore would not necessarily be considered that far fetched. Mansion's business comes largely from Asian populations. Singapore would also offer a tax rate that is a low 8%, which is extremely low for an online casino company.
Israel was the other option that was being tossed around in the rumor mill as a possible place of relocation for the Gibraltar based online casino. Israel is a slightly less than desirable spot for online casinos. They have not had the best attitude towards online casinos, Bwin, for example. The country does have influential software development companies that are tied to it. We still don't think that it would be the best choice for a great online casino such as Mansion to call home.
