Case Studies
eGaming product utilising Blockchain technology
Affinity were approached by a client with a unique eGaming product utilising Blockchain technology who had identified the need for a B2B Gaming licence, the most suitable licence for their technology was the Isle of Man‘s new Token Based Software Supplier Licence, with the application being a first for the Island. Alex worked closely with the client and handled the application process on their behalf, while acting as liaison between the client and the GSC. This was a first for all but Alex and the Affinity team very quickly understood the requirements and ensured the client received the licence within their timeframe of three months.
