Rights of stakeholders and partners

1) Introduction: who are the "stakeholders"

In the contour of iGaming/fintech platforms, they usually distinguish:
  • Users/clients,
  • Employees/contractors,
  • Suppliers/providers (game studios, PSP/acquiring bank, KYC providers, hosting, anti-fraud),
  • Affiliates/agency networks and marketing partners,
  • Investors/shareholders,
  • Regulators and Ombudsmen/ADRs,
  • Local communities and NGOs.
  • The purpose of this policy is to clearly record their rights, expectations and protection mechanisms, embedding them in contracts, processes and metrics.

2) Principles of interaction (basis for all groups)

1. Transparency and awareness (understandable conditions, changelogs).
2. Integrity and non-discrimination (equal terms and access).
3. Data and privacy protection (minimization, security, legality).
4. Safety and quality (SLA/SLO, monitoring, post-mortems).
5. Accountability (complaint channels, independent review, right to appeal).
6. Right to audit and audit within reasonable limits.
7. Responsible AI and marketing (explainability of decisions, prohibition of manipulations).
8. Zero tolerance for corruption, conflicts of interest and repression.
