Most solution providers (S/P) will NOT give carte-blanche approval to you to start in as many countries as you wish (regardless of your exposure or seniority in the industry). It is the absence of trust that will restrict, i.e. put an operating fence around the number of countries you can service. Typically, a sponsor will want to restrict you to five payout countries.
If you are able to establish trust (with a three to six month) operating history with the solution provider, then, needless to say, the S/P will happily reconsider if they see a promising performance from you, without adding risk to their overall licensing regime.
