We are the tech powerhouse building products at the intersection of gaming, entertainment, and technology.

Founded in Malta in 2018, we've grown into a global, remote-first team across more than 30 countries.

• Monitor the KYC inbox, route requests to the appropriate stakeholders and follow up on outstanding information.
• Track submission deadlines and the status of ongoing KYC requests and periodic reviews.
• Conduct basic corporate registry searches and gather publicly available company information.

• Escalate complex, unusual or potentially high-risk requests to the appropriate Legal or Compliance lead.
