## Mini-FAQ
Q: Can I rely on an offshore licence to serve customers in Asia?
A: Not safely in restrictive jurisdictions; offshore licences help but do not immunise you from local enforcement if you target restricted populations, so use strict geo-blocking and payment rules.
Q: Are crypto payments safer from a regulatory perspective?
A: No — crypto can increase AML scrutiny and may attract law enforcement attention; implement enhanced transaction monitoring and customer verification.
Q: Do I need local counsel in each target country?
A: Yes — local counsel provides current, enforceable guidance and can liaise with regulators; budget for that early.
## Responsible gaming & jurisdictional caution
Always include age-gates, self-exclusion, session limits and links to local support lines; ensure “18+” or relevant age notice is prominent. Local regulators often treat RG measures as central to licensing decisions, so operationalise them early to avoid rejection or penalties.
Keep these protections visible on all customer flows.
