From risk to reward: How SBSB fuels business success

In today’s challenging markets, businesses need more than just legal advice; they need trusted partners who know how to navigate the journey from idea to expansion. We spoke with Ivan Nevzorov, Acting CEO of SBSB FinTech Lawyers, who shared why clients choose SBSB, how industry regulations are changing, and what the future holds for businesses.

What sets SBSB FinTech Lawyers apart?

Ivan: We’ve never been limited to just legal services. SBSB is all about business consulting. We provide clients with turnkey solutions: from company registration and obtaining gaming licenses, to advising on payment providers, marketing, and IT partners.

Our team works across over 90 jurisdictions, and when a client approaches SBSB, they’re not just getting lawyers, but a network of trusted specialists worldwide. This ensures results and saves time."

We always provide realistic timelines and budgets so our clients can plan their investments properly. This approach allows them to avoid hidden risks and make strategic decisions based on transparent data.

How to choose a law firm in high-risk industries, such as iGaming?

Ivan: I would emphasize four factors:

1. Reviews. It’s essential to look at verified platforms like Clutch or Trustpilot.
2. Experience. A mistake in this industry can cost millions, so it’s important to see the firm’s track record.
3. Recommendations and reputation in the industry. If the firm is known by banks, software providers, and industry colleagues, it’s a good sign of reliability.
4. Presence at trade shows and industry events. This reflects the openness and maturity of the business.

What are the most common requests from iGaming clients?

Ivan: Requests depend on the level of business maturity. Large companies are interested in entering new markets—Latin America, Africa, and Europe. They often ask us for process audits or AML policy optimization.

Startups come to us with ideas ranging from classic online casinos to games with betting elements, social casinos, or play-to-earn models. We always adapt to the project and offer not only legal solutions but also business model recommendations.

What trends are currently shaping iGaming regulation?

Ivan highlighted five key trends:

1. Stricter regulation — even in "exotic" jurisdictions, the rules are becoming clearer and stricter.
2. Regulation of previously "gray" areas — crypto casinos, skill gaming, sweepstakes.
3. Secondary regulation — by banks, exchanges, marketing providers, and IT.
4. Local licenses — more countries are requiring businesses to be registered with them, pay taxes, and create local jobs.
5. Startup support through acceleration — the market is moving toward models where new companies can test their products under the control of more established players or regulators.

What are SBSB’s strategic plans?

Ivan: Our main goal is to help as many projects succeed as possible. We value clients who bring their ideas to life, attract their first users, and grow with us."

Among new directions, we are considering launching our own payment system for iGaming and creating a game aggregator platform. These projects stem from the requests and 'pain points' of our clients.

As for geography, SBSB already works with clients from North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia. Our focus will be on expanding our product line 

How do you ensure quality and develop your team?

Ivan: For us, key feedback from clients is essential. We build open relationships where anyone can directly contact me.

Internally, we’ve developed a continuous growth system: individual development plans for employees, mentorship, corporate training, and training budgets. SBSB employs specialists with regulatory experience, allowing us to meet real-world requirements.

Additionally, we actively participate in international exhibitions, industry communities, and maintain contact with regulators. This gives us unique insight into trends and allows us to adapt our services faster than others.

Where do you see SBSB Fintech Lawyers in 5 years?

Ivan: We aim to become the global standard of business consulting quality. When people mention 'the best legal and business consulting in iGaming, fintech, and crypto,' we want them to think of SBSB FinTech Lawyers. Most importantly, we want our satisfied clients to recommend us and continue to work with us.
