Frequently asked questions
What is different about diligence on a gambling company?

The value depends on the license. Diligence must show the license is valid, can be kept after closing and is not exposed to sanctions.

Do you work with technical auditors?

Yes. Technical and platform reviews are done by specialist auditors and we coordinate their findings with the legal report.
