Why hold the Union's licence
Proof players can check
Your mark is drawn live from the Union's register and links to your entry: your licence classes, their status and the deposit held, with the Bitcoin transactions that paid it. Nothing has to be taken on trust.
Money set aside for players
Your Protection Deposit is held by the Union Treasury, apart from the Union's own funds, and is never lent, invested or spent. A player you wrong can claim from it through the Union Court.
Player funds kept separate
Every holder of a protected class keeps customers' money and assets separate from its own. It is a condition of the licence, enforced by suspension and revocation.
Built for Bitcoin
Formation, licence fees, deposits and awards are all in Bitcoin. No bank account is needed, and the Union levies no company tax or VAT and asks for no annual filings.
Protection without player files
Protection comes from money set aside in advance, not from collecting players' identity documents. There is no store of player data for anyone to leak.
A deposit that shows your size
Any operator may deposit more than the minimum, and the amount held is shown on the mark for every player to see. The larger the deposit, the more it says about you.
Union Licences
The classes for your business
Hold as many as your business needs. Where you hold several protected classes, you keep the highest of their minimum deposits.

You may always deposit more than the minimum, and the amount you hold is shown on your mark for every customer to see.
Your customers
What your customers can check
A player sees your mark, opens your entry in the register and checks your licence, its status and the deposit held. A player who holds a Digital Passport and has been wronged brings a claim in the Union Court; if the Court upholds it, the award is deducted from your deposit when the decision is issued and paid by the Treasury.

Claim in the Union Court
Where a deposit is held, a wronged passport holder can claim from it. Both sides are heard.
