Gaming Licenses and Adminstration

Of the many eCommerce companies we support, it is those holding remote gaming licences (or online gambling licences, also known as eGaming or iGaming) that require the most intensive support. As a highly regulated activity that naturally crosses borders, online gambling necessitates the most stringent and effective corporate governance to operate effectively, and this is where we can add significant value to our clients’ businesses.

Initially, we help you to select an appropriate home jurisdiction, incorporating holding and service companies as appropriate. We also help you to build the appropriate governance and compliance reporting into your business plan, liaise directly with key regulatory bodies to secure the relevant licences, and share the burden of reporting and monitoring as your business grows.

Outsourced MLRO, Data Protection, and Compliance Services

One of the critical success factors for running an eCommerce business, particularly in sectors like gambling which are considered ‘high risk’, is the implementation of proper oversight and compliance structures. As your company is established, we work closely with your regulatory body (or bodies) and take great care to implement the appropriate monitoring and reporting framework to ensure full compliance with prevailing law.

  • Company incorporation;
  • Administration;
  • VAT and accounting services; and
  • The provision of directors, registered offices, and registered agent/company secretary.

As a core part of this service, we provide highly trained and experienced officials in the following key areas. Depending on your internal structure, we can provide all or some of these roles as an outsourced – but nevertheless extremely thorough and engaged – staffing solution.

  • Directors and Operations Officers to provide local experience in your home jurisdiction and ensure strong corporate governance is maintained. They will also ensure that you adhere to licensing requirements, such as protection against under-age or irresponsible gambling.
  • Money Laundering Reporting Officers (MLRO) to ensure that your company fulfils its obligations in terms of prevailing anti-money laundering regulations. This includes maintenance of money laundering enquiries registers, an advertising and media register, law enforcement enquiries registers, anti-bribery registers, breaches and errors registers, training log and risk assessment matrices, and other records required by law.
  • Data Protection Officers (DPO) to ensure that customer data is stored and maintained properly, including ensuring compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
