Preparation of Systems Documentation for Online Businesses

CSB Group has been involved in various online businesses including the remote gaming industry since its inception in Malta back in 2004, by assisting international clients and well-renowned brands with the submission and pursuance of remote gaming license applications with the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).

CSB Group has through the years gained the relevant experience whilst realising that clients have individual requirements, providing a professional consultancy service that is tailor-made to each and every client. As part of the gaming application process with the MGA, the applicant needs to provide extensive documentation and information on the proposed Control System and Gaming System.

Without the necessary guidance, this can be a laborious and frustrating process. The details provided must be accurate, realistic and achievable since the MGA will appoint an independent third party reviewer to conduct a Systems Audit to ensure the Systems Documentation complies with the MGA regulations and guidelines.

Control complexity will vary according to the business model and scale of the applicant’s operations, however, the Authority insists on comprehensive and extensive documentation. Our involvement during the Systems Documentation will enable the applicant to dedicate the necessary efforts towards the strategic and marketing functions, which are of utmost importance prior to going live with the operations.

As the Systems Documentation preparation cannot be achieved without access to the applicant’s financial, operational and technical team, our team would need to work hand in hand with the applicant’s key representatives to ensure detailed and concise Systems Documentation.
