iGaming technology is not like other technology. The platform is the product, the regulator is watching the platform, and downtime is measured in lost licences as well as lost revenue.
Licensing regimes in Malta, the UK and across the EU impose specific, auditable requirements on the technology function. Player-fund segregation, game fairness, geolocation, self-exclusion and anti-money-laundering controls are not features bolted onto a platform. They are architectural properties the platform must be built to demonstrate.
The technology function of a licensed operator is not the back office. It is the mechanism through which the operator proves, continuously, that it is fit to hold a licence. It must be architected, governed and maintained accordingly.
What regulated iGaming technology requires
Platform governance. Change control, release governance and audit trails that a regulator can inspect. When the platform is the licensed product, every change to it is a regulated event.
Player protection controls. Self-exclusion, deposit limits, reality checks and affordability signals designed into the platform, tested against defined objectives, and evidenced — not asserted.
Fund segregation and integrity. Player-fund segregation, transaction integrity and reconciliation that meet licence conditions and survive an audit, not just a demo.
Geolocation and market access. Enforcing where play is and is not permitted, at the architectural level, across every market the licence covers and every market it does not.
AML and third-party risk. KYC providers, payment processors, game studios and platform vendors — every material dependency mapped, assessed and governed under compliant contractual arrangements.

What your site has to do, based on what it actually does
Answer as much or as little as you like — the list builds as you go. Nothing is stored against your name and no email is required.
Everything that applies
Ordered by what to do first: legal requirements you can close quickly, then larger pieces of work, then what is expected rather than required. Not exhaustive, and not a legal audit.
