The lookup box for Country on registrations page of betting sites - who provides them ?

A very random question.

Who provides the lookup service that populates the country box on the site registration pages.

There seems to be two long list versions that I’ve seen.

Since the UK gambling laws changed, the UK is removed from both versions. That’s fair.

But. There are a number of British islands which are not part of the UK which have also been removed (or not added in the first place), namely Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.

There is absolutely no restrictions, no UK taxes owed, but they arent on the list.

Clearly Isle of Man is a gambling place, so I assume its a pain for people that know the game and live in Isle of Man not to be able to access many of the better sites out there. We do have access to most but quite a lot of important soft books, we cant get registered.

I’ve tried inspecting element on the country box but I’ve found nothing.

Its not that I’m mistaken, its genuinely just laziness by (one of) the industry lookup provider and CS just reply “not on the list, too bad”

Needless to say my contact with IoM and UK authorities has been met with blank faces.

Who provides the country lookup boxes to the gambling industry ?
