Legal and compliance form the regulatory layer of the platform and set the limits for product scaling.
Access to payment providers, a list of game content providers, KYC requirements and the financial model of the project depend on the selected jurisdiction.
A license is not only a right to work, but an architectural solution that affects all other layers of the platform.
