Editorial analysis
Gaming at the technology intersection
GTG Advocates pairs an established Malta MGA capability with strong fintech and data-compliance adjacencies, which suits operators whose gaming and technology questions overlap.
Where the score is bounded
The multi-disciplinary breadth that helps on lifecycle slightly dilutes pure-gaming specialisation, and offshore coverage is limited.
