Ongoing Regulatory Advisory
Regulatory questions rarely arrive on a schedule — a regulator circular, a change to reporting obligations, or a query from a payment partner's compliance team can land with no internal precedent to draw on.
For operators who don't need a full-time in-house counsel but do need someone who knows the relevant regulatory framework when a question comes up, we provide advisory support on an on-demand basis.
This is engaged as questions arise rather than sold as a fixed retainer — the scope and cost of ongoing support are agreed per engagement, not published as a standing package.
What we do
- Monitoring and plain-language briefing on regulatory changes relevant to the operator's licence
- Reviewing regulator correspondence and drafting responses
- Advising on marketing, bonusing, and responsible gambling rule compliance for specific campaigns
- Supporting due diligence questions raised by payment providers or banking partners
- Ad hoc advice on structuring decisions with a regulatory dimension
Who this is for
- Licensed operators without a dedicated in-house regulatory counsel
- Compliance officers who need a second opinion on a specific, time-sensitive question
- Operators expanding their product range (e.g. sportsbook to live casino) within an existing licence
Relevant for these jurisdictions
Jurisdiction
United Kingdom
The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) operates one of the most demanding licensing regimes in the sector, combining a strict fit-and-proper test with an active enforcement record — a UK licence signals credibility, but it is also the jurisdiction where preparation gaps are least forgiven.
Jurisdiction
Malta
Malta remains one of the most established EU-based licensing jurisdictions for iGaming, with a single-licence structure covering both B2C and B2B activity through the Malta Gaming Authority — but its reputation for maturity comes with a correspondingly thorough fit-and-proper and AML review.
