Gaming and gambling

As Web3 and blockchain technologies enter the gaming space, regulatory frameworks are adapting to address virtual assets, smart contracts, and decentralised platforms.

We understand the complex regulatory landscape of the gaming and gambling industry and have extensive experience advising clients on a broad range of issues, including:

• licensing (from both B2B and B2C perspectives) and engagement with local regulators, including advice on regulatory consultations, investigations, challenges, and the development of legal arguments;
• launches of new products and regulatory audits in relevant jurisdictions;
• compliance with regulations, including those related to advertising, loot boxes, and addictive or harmful content.
• compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) rules and regulations;
• contractual support, including joint ventures and third-party relationships;
• issues related to the creation and exploitation of intellectual property;
• compliance with data protection laws and regulations, and data monetisation; and
• M&A activity, joint ventures, and partnerships across the betting, gambling, and gaming sub-sectors.
