In iGaming, this happens more often than you think.

Once the business is set up, it’s in the spotlight. In many jurisdictions, director and shareholder details are openly available, and UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) data is mandatory for regulators and banks.

That may meet strict compliance rules, but it’s a real headache for the individuals named in those documents.

Any dispute quickly becomes personal: it’s no longer “the operator is wrong”, it’s you, the person behind the business. 

Regulators demand transparency, banks and providers insist on full KYC, and competitors are more than happy to use your data against you, leaving stains that are hard to remove from your reputation. 

Even daily operations leave a long digital trail that ties back to the people behind the business.

It may feel like you have no choice: either carry this burden and get a flood of player emails to your personal inbox, or leave the business to keep your private life.

But you do have a choice, and it’s legal. Even if you are the UBO of an online gambling company, you can stay private.

The solution is to approint a nominee director. 

The real UBO stays hidden, and only the nominee’s details appear in the documents. This way, you are no longer the easy target for spam, DDoS attacks, lawsuits, or reputation problems.

Of course, a nominee director can also turn out to be a “Trojan horse” sent by competitors — someone who might sign bad deals, or even try to ruin your company.

That’s why even nominees must be chosen with extreme care. Work only with trusted agents who have real experience in this niche, and check their reputation. 

We conduct rigorous, multi-stage checks on every nominee director ourselves: KYC, AML, deep background screening, conflict-of-interest reviews, and verification of relevant iGaming experience.
