Case Studies

  • Advising a client on a gambling licence review and licence suspension by the UK Gambling Commission. The work involved a complete recalibration of all compliance processes and redrafting of policies and procedures, assistance with Regulatory Panel hearing and preparation for 3rd Tier Tribunal proceedings. The suspension was successfully lifted in under 3 months.
  • Designing the legal and corporate model for a global prize draw offering outside the definition of gambling. This involved working with lawyers from multiple jurisdictions to analyse and build the legal framework around which the corporate structure, tax optimisation and operational flows could be implemented.
  • Advising a pay for play skill gaming operator on all commercial and regulatory matters as it rolls out its mobile app worldwide. This involves jurisdiction by jurisdiction analyses of the skill gaming and gambling landscape.
  • Successfully assisting with multiple online gambling licence applications in the UK and GIbraltar.
