GKF Legal

GKF Legal is a Maltese law practice serving operators, developers and suppliers in iGaming. Malta is its stated market.

Services

Five services are listed: MGA licensing, jurisdiction strategy, corporate structuring, regulatory audit and contracts. The first is the core. The Malta Gaming Authority issues the licences that many European operators rely on, and an application requires a corporate structure, policies and agreements to be in place. Jurisdiction strategy suggests that the firm will also advise on whether Malta is the right place for a project at all, rather than assuming it is. A regulatory audit tests existing compliance before the regulator does.

Who it suits

Game developers and platform suppliers, which are named alongside operators, are a segment that sometimes gets less attention from gaming lawyers. For them, supplier licensing and contracts with operators matter. The firm does not publish a legal entity, address, registration number or prices.

Questions to ask

A prospective client may ask how many MGA applications the lawyers have prepared, whether the licence class needed by the project is among them, and what they offer after the licence is granted, such as audits before the regulator's reviews.
