What IGA Group does

IGA Group is a Malta-headquartered iGaming consultancy founded in 2015 by Mario Fiorini, providing licensing, corporate, tax, AML/CFT, privacy, banking, and technical advisory services to online gaming operators and their B2B supply chain across 16+ jurisdictions including Malta, Curaçao, Cyprus, the UK, Canada, Isle of Man, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Kahnawake, Ireland, Romania, Estonia, Tuvalu, and Nevis. The firm positions itself as a 360-degree one-stop shop, combining professional services with managed-service offerings such as MLRO appointment, KYC/KYB management, and outsourced DPO functions. Beyond core advisory, IGA operates three wholly-owned subsidiaries — IGAML (AML/CFT division), IGA Trust (corporate structuring), and IGA Hub (shared office space in Birkirkara) — which together expand the addressable revenue surface beyond traditional consulting fees.

The company's technology stack centers on proprietary in-house tools rather than third-party platforms: a real-time AML transaction monitoring and reporting solution, a blockchain-based KYC system, and a Privacy as a Service platform paired with a Privacy Enabled Enterprise (PEE) framework that uses AI/ML for first-party player data monetization under GDPR/LGPD compliance. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales led by the founder-MD and regional MDs (notably Curaçao), supplemented by content marketing, event presence at industry conferences such as SBC Summit Lisbon, and a referral network that converts regulatory relationships into new client mandates. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through professional-services fees, recurring managed-services retainers, subscription-style privacy platform fees, and office-leasing income at IGA Hub.

Direct peers

• WH Partners: Malta-headquartered law firm specialising in gaming, gambling and fintech regulation — closely overlaps IGA's licensing, regulatory and corporate advisory offering for iGaming operators.
• CSB Group: Malta-based corporate services and advisory firm with a dedicated gaming practice covering licensing, company formation, tax and compliance — directly comparable iGaming-focused consultancy footprint.

Broad incumbents

• TMF Group: Global corporate services provider with a significant iGaming vertical covering entity formation, accounting, tax and compliance across multiple jurisdictions — broader scale but overlapping service lines.
• KPMG Global Gaming: Big-4 firm with a dedicated Global Gaming practice offering tax, regulatory, assurance and advisory services to operators — competes on enterprise accounts where IGA is positioned.
• Veriff: Identity verification platform serving iGaming operators among other verticals — overlaps IGA's KYC capability but at a broader, tech-platform scale.
• ComplyAdvantage: AI-driven AML/KYC and transaction-monitoring platform — competes with IGA's IGAML monitoring and reporting tools, though primarily horizontal rather than iGaming-only.

Emerging players

• Sumsub: KYC/AML verification platform with an explicit iGaming vertical — directly competitive with IGA's IGAML and blockchain-KYC offerings on the technology product layer.

Others

• Chainalysis: Blockchain analytics and compliance provider — adjacent to IGA's blockchain-based KYC and AML ambitions, serving crypto-exposed operators and suppliers rather than directly competing for licensing mandates.
