    Do I need a gambling licence?

    Regardless of where you are based in the world, or even on a distributed network, you need a licence, as you'll be providing a platform for gambling to customers in Great Britain. The link above is actually very helpful, so I would recommend reading that!

    Who can be Data Controller and Data Protection Officer in the small organisation?

    I would agree. There are also some external companies that can help you with the data protection, by e.g. supplying a data protection officer, training your staff in how to handle sensitive data, evaluate the safety procedures and policies in case of the data breach, etc.

    2 new ltd companies - correct structure or other option?

    I would agree, the solution seems to be better for admin and costs, provided the project does not require two different legal entities to operate successfully.

    GDPR Consent: Statistical purpose

    Yes, you are correct. You don't necessarily need two separate emails, but you need to have protection in place for both these purposes and your customers need to agree to both of them. You may give them an option to consent to one of those, eg. for statistical purposes only, not for marketing if...

    GDPR - Getting Opted in again

    This is actually a common problem. Many companies simply choose to apply the GDPR protection to all their customers, as it would be impossible to determine whether they're from the area protected by the GDPR or not. Also, just to quickly remind you, you may not send them anything or hold their...

    Warrantties and Indemnities

    Hi Jay, Thanks for your question. These warranties and indemnities may be covered by your current insurance policy, but it may very well not be enough! If I were you, I would speak to the insurance provider and explain the nature of the contract you're trying to enter into. They may be able to...

    Council Enforcement due to Usage Category - help!

    Hi there, Sorry to hear about your issues with the property. I think that the council may have overreacted a bit with the enforcement and that this issue could potentially be cleared with a better communication. As you're rightly pointed out, there is no business currently going on and you do...

    Affiliate programs and FCA

    If you're just offering a link without any advice or handling of the customers' information, then you are unlikely to need the FCA registration. However, the "financial advice" can get blurry in the affiliate marketing website, so a solid pack of website documents (term&conditions, terms of use...

    Trademark Brexit question...

    I would agree that although it's not yet decided, it is likely to be a part of the negotiation and will be implemented into the UK law. The Government's priority seems to be implementing all EU law into the domestic statue book, before deciding on what to change, and/or drop, if anything at all

    Will not PAY!

    I would agree that you need to start from a letter before action and outline your claims in writing. You may want to consider other forms of settlement, for example via a third party on which you can both agree. If they decide not to engage with that, a small claims court would be your next step.
