Operators building on SolveByte platforms can now run licensing, company formation and compliance work in parallel with development, through an independent firm that has secured more than 100 gaming licences.
SolveByte announced a partnership with Rikk Law, an international iGaming law firm headquartered in London, giving operators who build with SolveByte direct access to gaming licensing, corporate structuring and ongoing compliance counsel.
The partnership addresses a sequencing problem common to new iGaming ventures. Operators frequently complete a platform build in weeks and then discover that licensing, corporate formation and anti-money-laundering readiness are separate projects that have not been started. The result is a finished product waiting on paperwork. Under the partnership, legal work begins alongside development rather than after it. 

What Operators Can Access

Rikk Law has supported more than 50 iGaming companies through licence applications and has secured over 100 licences across jurisdictions. Its scope for SolveByte clients covers:
  •       Gaming licence applications in Anjouan, Tobique, Tuvalu and Curaçao
  •       Company formation in the United Kingdom and Cyprus
  •       MLRO appointment and ongoing AML and compliance support
  •       Legal opinions and OTC transfer structuring
  •       Acquisition of ready-made licensed entities, and M&A support
  •       Venture and private investment advisory

Why the Timing Matters

Licensing in the offshore jurisdictions most start-up operators rely on has become materially more demanding. Curaçao's transition to its national gaming ordinance ended the long-standing master-licence and sub-licence model, replacing it with direct licensing, higher substance requirements and continuing reporting obligations. Applicants that once treated a licence as an administrative formality now face a process with real documentation, governance and timeline implications.
For operators, that shifts legal work from a late-stage checklist item to a parallel workstream with its own critical path. Pairing a technology provider with specialist counsel from the outset is a practical response to that change rather than a marketing arrangement.

How the Partnership Works

Rikk Law is engaged directly and independently by clients as their legal counsel. SolveByte coordinates introductions and aligns licensing milestones with development milestones so the two timelines run together. SolveByte does not provide legal advice, and nothing in the arrangement alters the operator's own responsibility for regulatory compliance in the markets it serves.
The arrangement is available to new and existing SolveByte clients from today.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Stuck on something? We're here to help with all your questions answered in one place.

No. Rikk Law is engaged directly and independently by the client as their legal counsel. SolveByte builds the technology and coordinates timelines so licensing milestones line up with development milestones. Regulatory responsibility stays with the operator.

Anjouan, Tobique, Tuvalu and Curaçao. Rikk also handles company formation in the United Kingdom and Cyprus for operators who need a corporate structure before they can apply.

MLRO appointment and ongoing AML support, legal opinions, OTC transfer structuring, acquisition of ready-made licensed entities, M&A support, and venture or private investment advisory. In practice, the licence is one deliverable inside a wider corporate and compliance setup.

Curaçao replaced its master licence and sub-licence model with direct licensing under its national gaming ordinance. Substance requirements and ongoing reporting obligations went up. Operators who used to treat a licence as a formality now face a process with real documentation and timeline consequences.

Yes. It is available to both new and existing clients from the announcement date.

Nothing changes. The arrangement is an option, not a requirement. Operators with existing counsel keep them, and SolveByte will sequence development around whatever legal timeline that counsel sets.

It varies by jurisdiction, by corporate structure, and by how complete the applicant's documentation is. Rikk scopes the timeline per application at the outset. The value of the partnership is that the clock starts during the build rather than after it.

No, and this is the most common misconception. A licence governs where a business is authorised to operate from and which markets it may serve. Market access, payment providers and advertising rules are assessed jurisdiction by jurisdiction. Rikk advises on that mapping.
