§ 02 · Why this matters

Content can revoke your licence long before a regulator does.

In iGaming, the operative threat to licence retention is no longer counterfeit domains. It is reputation. A coordinated series of negative articles in your target jurisdiction creates a paper trail that your regulator will read before any inquiry begins.

Generic ORM agencies treat this as marketing — paid removal, soft requests, brand-management theatre. Big-law treats it as litigation — billed by the hour, scaled for court, not for volume. Both are wrong tools.

What works is fast, lawful, documented removal under named statute — Berne Convention, EU Directive 2019/790, 17 U.S.C. §512(c), GDPR Article 17 where applicable. Filed by counsel. Reviewed before submission. That is the whole of our practice.

§ 03 · Our approach

Three constraints, held together.

Speed

Six-day median to removal.

From authorised takedown notice to confirmed delisting. Active matters reviewed daily. Volume operations scale weekly.

Legality

Every removal under named statute.

Berne, EU 2019/790, DMCA Title 17 §512, GDPR Article 17. We do not pay for removal. We do not threaten. We file.

Discretion

Counsel-signed engagements.

Communications encrypted. NDA-first standard. No marketing material includes your name unless you explicitly authorise it.
