Key Facts

Less activity on the blog due to work commitments for two large clients.
Working with a client in the skillgaming sector.
Another client is planning to issue tokenized profit participation rights.
Comprehensive activities in the publishing of computer games and esports are financed.
Legal issues relating to security tokens, utility tokens and blockchain currencies will be addressed.
Interest in feedback on finding topics in the games and esports industry.
Consideration of offering a webinar on the legal issues, depending on interest.

I’ve been a little less active here on the blog this past month. The reason is my work for two big clients, a skillgaming sector and a much bigger client that will launch tokenized profit participation rights in the future to finance very extensive activities in computer game publishing and esports. Especially with the second client, there are therefore a lot of legal questions around the legal nature of things like security tokens, utility tokens, blockchain currencies, NFT in computer games or mobile apps, and much more.

Of course, I would like to discuss many of the basic legal issues on the blog and, for example, show the great possibilities for financing esport activities, for example, with the help of the sale of tokens and other tokenized corporate bonds.

I would be very interested to know if anyone in the games and esports industry has dealt with this or is interested in it? Feedback, including on specific questions, is very helpful. In addition, I am considering offering a webinar on these issues. But that only makes sense if enough people are interested in the topic!
