Gambling must necessarily be licensed. And for this in Malta there are 4 levels of licensing. Developers still need to submit to the commission a business plan for the company
I think that there is no problem to make a business plan for developers, they launched the project, so they must have calculations on the potential development of the platform for gambling.
When it comes to game algorithms and random number generator, I think the team is fine with that. Their experience in developing gambling will certainly help to offer an excellent report for obtaining a license.
