Regulated iGaming Platforms
Design and engineering for platforms that need to meet market-entry, audit and gambling-compliance requirements.
Capabilities / Games & iGaming
Engineering for games and regulated iGaming.
We help game and iGaming businesses design products, build platforms and deal with the engineering requirements of regulated markets. We also review technology for investors and acquirers.
Regulated platforms
Plan for compliance as part of the build.
Entering a regulated market affects the software, the evidence you need to retain and how you release changes. Those requirements need to be understood while the product and platform are being designed.
Our work has included market-entry support, ISO27001 technology governance and responsible-gaming systems. We help teams account for these requirements in their architecture and delivery plans.
Focus areas
Where West Forge can help.
Multiplayer & Player Engagement
Design multiplayer features and jackpot systems, then work through how they will run on the platform.
Product & Game Design
Check whether a game idea is technically feasible and how regulation affects the design before committing to the build.
Technical Due Diligence
Review a platform and its engineering team before an investment or acquisition. Explain the technical risks and the work likely to be needed.
Architecture & Platform Modernisation
Plan changes to legacy systems, data platforms and cloud infrastructure, including the integrations and migration work.
AI-Assisted Delivery Workflows
Use AI for planning, implementation and code review, with checks against the codebase and the product requirements.

SGF & tooling
Storm Game Framework.
Storm Game Framework (SGF) is West Forge's game development framework for Unreal Engine. It provides reusable systems for common game features, such as combat, AI and saving progress. Teams choose the plugins they need and build their gameplay and content on top.
SGF is available to license. Ask about engine compatibility and how the plugins would fit your project.
