Frequently Asked

Questions clients ask before engaging.

Operational readiness typically lands in four to six weeks for a standard corporate setup, and six to eight weeks where PAGCOR licensing and gaming infrastructure are part of the scope.

Yes. We prepare and file the application, manage accreditation requirements, draft the responsible gaming framework, and stay engaged through to operational launch and ongoing compliance.

Most of our clients are abroad. We coordinate agencies, vendors, banking, and permits locally on your behalf, and align reporting to your time zone with direct written updates.

Packages are quoted as a fixed engagement fee against a defined scope, with government fees and third-party costs passed through at cost. Ongoing compliance work is billed as a monthly retainer.

We advise exchanges, protocols, and token issuers on BSP and SEC expectations, corporate structuring, contract and smart contract review, and disclosure practices under current Philippine guidance.
