Gaming and betting case studies
Regulatory Guidance and Representation
We have excellent relationships with gambling regulators in the UK and abroad and regularly make representations on clients’ behalves to seek to shape positive regulatory responses to their operations or products.
Lotteries, prize competitions, pool betting and in-run betting
We provide expertise to organisations and societies on all aspects of the structure and operation of all types of lotteries and competitions.
Bingo operators
We represent some of the leading trade associations and businesses in the UK’s terrestrial bingo sector.
White-label deals for software suppliers
We undertake corporate, licensing and regulatory work and white-label deals for leading suppliers of gaming software.
UK and Offshore Remote Gambling
We have advised many clients on jurisdictional, licensing and compliance issues and have overseen successful applications for interactive gambling licences in a number of jurisdictions including Alderney, Malta and the Isle of Man. We can assist with the establishment of disaster recovery operations or with the full migration of operations, as required, including where necessary, the restructuring of international online gambling businesses.
In the UK, the remote gambling provisions of the Gambling Act 2005 present considerable opportunities for international operators. We have been closely involved in the development of this law and are ideally placed to advise.
Betting Exchanges
We advised on the launch of, and the numerous legal issues affecting, a leading exchange, including issues relating to General Betting Duty and the Levy Scheme.
Poker Networks
Advising on structural and regulatory issues, including regarding ongoing online and offline advertising campaigns.
Casinos
We advise and represent a number of UK and overseas interests in the terrestrial casino sector in their UK dealings. We represent our clients - both operators and suppliers - in licence applications and in their dealings with the Gambling Commission. We advise not only on regulation and compliance, but also on structural and financing matters, planning and property law and with IP, employment and other commercial issues. We are able to provide comprehensive advice on the opportunities presented by the Gambling Act 2005.
