Terms of use

Last updated 7 September 2026

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

igadeals is operated by IGA Group Ltd. These terms apply whenever you use the site, whether or not you hold an account. By registering an account you accept them.

Where you use the escrow service, these terms apply alongside the specific instructions issued for that transaction. Where a signed purchase agreement between a buyer and a seller conflicts with these terms, the signed agreement governs the transaction itself, and these terms continue to govern your use of the platform.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter contracts. You must not use igadeals if you are subject to sanctions, if you are prohibited from dealing in gambling assets in your jurisdiction, or if you are acting for someone who is.

You are responsible for confirming that buying or selling a gambling business is lawful for you, and that you hold whatever licenses or approvals your own regulator requires.

3. Accounts

Keep your credentials to yourself. You are responsible for everything done through your account. Tell us immediately if you think someone else has access.

The information you give us must be accurate, particularly the company details and registered address used on documents you sign. We may suspend or close an account that provides false information, abuses the service, or attempts to circumvent the platform.

4. Listing a business

You may only list a business you own or are authorised to sell. By listing you confirm that the figures you provide are drawn from source records, that you have disclosed material liabilities including player balances and bonus obligations, and that you have the right to transfer the assets described.

We review listings before they publish and may decline or remove any listing. A verified badge means only that stated figures were reconciled against records supplied at the time. It is not a warranty, an audit, or a recommendation, and it does not transfer any diligence obligation to us.

Listings are anonymous until you approve a buyer. We do not publish your brand, domain or operating entity to anyone you have not approved.

5. Buying and access to confidential material

Before a seller can approve you for a data room you must verify your proof of funds and place a one-time refundable deposit of $50,000. The deposit is credited against the sale you complete or returned in full if you do not buy.

Everything you see after approval is confidential. You may use it only to evaluate that transaction. You must not contact the seller's staff, players, affiliates, payment providers or licensor about the business without written consent, and you must not use the information to compete with or solicit from the business.

Sellers decide who gets access. Approval may be refused without a reason.

6. Fees

Buyers pay no commission. Seller fees depend on the listing tier and are charged on the sale price at completion.

Success fees fall due on completion. Upfront fees are not refundable once the work they pay for has been carried out, which for a premium listing means the valuation basis, verification and contract drafts, and for a brokered mandate means the engagement work. We may change published fees, but a change never applies to a transaction already in escrow.

7. Escrow

Where the parties use our escrow service, funds are held by IGA Group Ltd and are not our money and not our working capital.

• The buyer funds the escrow using the instructions and reference issued for that transaction.
• We confirm receipt once funds clear. Nothing moves on a payment we cannot match.
• When the seller confirms handover, an inspection period of 7 days begins, unless the parties agree a different period for that deal.
• During the inspection period the buyer may accept, which clears the funds, or raise a dispute, which freezes them.
• If nothing is raised before the period ends, the funds clear for release.
• On release we pay the seller the deal amount less the escrow charge. On refund the buyer receives the funds back.

Neither party can instruct a release alone. Where a dispute is raised we hold the funds and will not release them until both parties agree in writing or a competent court or arbitrator directs the outcome. We are not an arbitrator and we do not decide who is right.

8. Documents and electronic signature

The non-disclosure agreements, letters of intent and purchase agreements generated on igadeals are drafts produced from a template and the information the parties supply. They are a starting point, not legal advice, and no lawyer at igadeals has reviewed your specific transaction. Have your own adviser review anything before you sign it.

By typing your name and confirming the declaration you sign electronically and are bound as if you had signed on paper. We record your name, account email, IP address, approximate location, device string and the time, and attach that record to the document. Once both parties have signed we hash the text so any later change is detectable.

9. Gaming licenses

Gaming licenses frequently do not transfer automatically. Change of control approval is a matter for the relevant regulator, may take months, and may be refused. We make no representation about whether any license will transfer, and a refusal is not our responsibility.

10. What we do not do

• We do not verify every statement a seller makes. Verification, where offered, is limited to reconciling stated figures against records supplied at the time.
• We do not guarantee that a listed business will sell, that a buyer will complete, or that any price will be achieved.
• We do not provide legal, tax, accounting, regulatory or investment advice.
• We are not a party to the sale agreement between buyer and seller.

11. Prohibited use

Do not use igadeals to launder money, to move the proceeds of crime, to evade sanctions, or to acquire an asset on behalf of an undisclosed party. Do not scrape the site, attempt to access accounts or data that are not yours, probe our security, or use confidential material obtained here for any purpose other than evaluating the transaction it relates to.

Circumventing the platform to avoid a success fee, by completing off-platform a transaction introduced here, is a breach of these terms and the fee remains payable.

12. Liability

Nothing here limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything that cannot lawfully be limited.

Subject to that, we are not liable for the accuracy of information supplied by users, for the conduct of any buyer or seller, for a regulator's decision, or for indirect or consequential loss including lost profits or lost opportunity. Our total liability arising from your use of the platform is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, and in escrow matters to the amount actually held for that transaction.

13. Suspension and termination

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account for breach of these terms, for suspected fraud or money laundering, or where we are required to. Closing an account does not end obligations already incurred, including success fees on a transaction in progress and confidentiality obligations, which survive.

We retain records after closure where law requires it. See the privacy policy for how long and why.

14. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be notified to account holders by email. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which IGA Group Ltd is established, and the courts there have exclusive jurisdiction, save that we may bring proceedings to recover fees in any competent court.
