Our Core Services

Software Licensing Application Preparation

We meticulously prepare your licensing application, ensuring it meets all the requirements of the relevant licensing authority. This includes:

Document Gathering: We create a comprehensive checklist of required documents, including company registration details, financial statements, technical specifications, and software testing reports.
Technical Compliance Review: We conduct a thorough review of your software to ensure it meets the technical standards set by the licensing authority. This includes evaluating the fairness of random number generators (RNGs), security protocols, and data protection measures.
Business Plan Review: We assess your business plan to ensure it demonstrates financial viability and a commitment to responsible gambling practices.
Application Submission: We submit your application on your behalf and act as your liaison with the licensing authority.

Jurisdiction Selection Consulting

Choosing the right jurisdiction is crucial for your business success. We provide expert advice on the best jurisdiction for your software and target market, considering factors such as:

Tax Rates: We analyze the tax implications of operating in different jurisdictions. For example, a Malta license typically carries a tax rate of 18% on gaming revenue, while a Curaçao license offers a more favorable rate of 2%.
Regulatory Requirements: We assess the complexity and stringency of the regulatory requirements in each jurisdiction. The UK Gambling Commission, for instance, has some of the most rigorous requirements globally.
Reputation: We consider the reputation of the jurisdiction among players and industry stakeholders. A license from a reputable jurisdiction can enhance your brand image.
Processing Times: We provide estimates of the licensing processing times for each jurisdiction. Curaçao typically offers faster processing times than Malta.

Post-Licensing Support & Compliance

Maintaining your license requires ongoing compliance. We offer a range of post-licensing support services, including:

Annual Compliance Reviews: We conduct annual reviews to ensure you remain compliant with evolving regulations.
Software Updates & Re-submissions: We assist with software updates and resubmissions to the licensing authority when necessary. Typically, substantial software changes require re-approval, costing around $2,500 – $5,000 depending on the authority.
Responsible Gambling Training: We provide training for your staff on responsible gambling practices.
Regulatory Updates: We keep you informed of any changes to the regulatory landscape that may affect your business.

Technical Audit Services

Before submitting your application, it’s critical to ensure your software is technically sound. We offer comprehensive technical audit services, including:

RNG Testing: We test your random number generator (RNG) to ensure fairness and randomness. Independent testing typically costs around $3,000 – $7,000.
Security Penetration Testing: We conduct penetration testing to identify and address security vulnerabilities. The cost is around $5,000 – $10,000 depending on the scope.
Source Code Review: We review your source code to identify potential bugs and vulnerabilities. Costs range from $8,000 – $15,000 depending on the code base size.
Data Protection Assessment: We assess your data protection measures to ensure compliance with GDPR and other relevant regulations.
