Why is it difficult to apply for a gambling license on your own?

Entrepreneurs who wish to apply for a gambling license on their own face a number of challenges:

a lack of knowledge regarding legal procedures and requirements can lead to delays or the license being refused;
the inability to demonstrate compliance with license conditions and the origin of assets creates difficulties for the business;
a lack of understanding of the optimal legal structure makes it difficult to manage the company and reduces profitability;
a lack of knowledge about available tax regimes can lead to poor decisions.

Is it possible to obtain a gambling license if one of the founders has previously had a license application refused in another jurisdiction?

Each jurisdiction assesses risks independently, including the background of founders and directors. A previous refusal is not automatically grounds for rejection, but it is important to provide full disclosure when submitting an application. We analyse your case in advance and provide a preliminary assessment of the chances of successful licensing. In complex situations, we suggest alternative jurisdictions or adjust the business structure.

Can cryptocurrencies be used in a licensed online casino?

Yes, but a lot depends on the specific jurisdiction. Some licenses (such as those in Anguilla) are favourable towards the use of cryptocurrencies, whilst others require additional approval and the implementation of strict AML/KYC measures. We can help you choose the right jurisdiction and set up a structure that meets the requirements, so that your crypto business operates legally and securely.

What is the minimum budget required to launch a project with a license (including company registration, the license itself, a bank account and ongoing support)?

The minimum budget depends on the chosen jurisdiction, the scope of services and the technical complexity of the project. We always provide a detailed quote following an analysis of your project, so that you can plan your expenditure taking all stages into account.

Cases:

CASE: How to recover frozen $600,000

The client faced a problem with frozen funds in the account of his international company. The bank where the account was held was in the process of liquidation and froze all funds while starting an audit of its clients.

CASE: Forgotten $400,000

Our client decided to completely liquidate his company, established about 10 years ago in Latvia. During the liquidation process and communication with the bank, we discovered that the client had $400,000 in the account for several years — money everyone had forgotten about.
