Step 3 — Shareholders & other parties

A gaming license application covers not only the company, but also the people and companies behind it. In BECCO E-gaming, every person or company connected to the client is a party, and each party completes their own part of the onboarding.

Where parties come from

Most parties appear automatically from the Structure section of the submission form (Step 2): every shareholder and director entered there becomes a party of the client. You can see them all in two places:

The Information tab of the client — a list of all parties, grouped by role, with their status, PEP/sanction indicators and available reports.
The UBO tab — the same structure drawn as an organization chart with ownership percentages.

The roles you’ll encounter:

Role	Who this is
Point of contact	Your primary contact — the person you created the client with.
UBO	An individual with a direct or indirect beneficial interest of 10% or more.
Shareholder	An individual with a beneficial interest of 5%–10%.
Director	A director of the client company, or of a company holding 10% or more.
Additional stakeholder	Any other “person of interest” you want to include.
Affiliations	Affiliated companies and their directors, added by your team for context. See below.

Inviting a party to fill in their form

Each natural person in the structure needs to complete their own personal history form. From the party list on the Information tab:

Click the invite action next to the party.
Review the invitation email. A ready-made text is pre-filled that matches the party’s role — a UBO receives a different explanation than a director or a stakeholder — telling them why they’ve been identified and what to expect. Adjust it if you like and use the preview to check the result.
Send the invitation.

The party receives a personal link and security code, just like the point of contact did in Step 1. A party can’t accidentally be invited twice, and you can always re-send or forward an invitation later.

As parties fill in and sign their forms, their statuses move from Pending information to Pending account manager — and the assigned account manager gets an email each time a form is signed.

Adding an additional stakeholder

To include someone who is not a shareholder or director — for example an advisor or a key employee — use Add additional stakeholder on the Information tab. This creates the party and sends them their own invitation in one flow.

Affiliated companies & directors

Sometimes the structure touches companies that are not part of the ownership chain itself — for example another business connected to one of the shareholders. You can record these as affiliated companies, together with their directors, so the full picture is documented.

Affiliated parties are added by your team (not by the client), in the organization chart of the Structure section of the submission form. They appear in the party list under Affiliations.

Affiliated parties are there for context and do not take part in the onboarding flow: they receive no forms or invitations, and they are not verified in reviews. They can, however, be included in a Stracket screening. The Affiliations section of this manual covers them in detail.

Other actions on a party

From the party list you can also:

Convert to point of contact — make another party the client’s primary contact.
Notes — keep internal notes per party.
Export data — export a party’s information in official formats (for example the CGA Personal History Disclosure Form).
Invite for the client portal — give a party access to the client portal, where they can view their information and documents after onboarding.
Delete — remove a party that doesn’t belong in the structure.

When is this step done?

When every party has status Pending account manager, everyone has handed in their part and the client’s status automatically becomes Pending verification.

Continue with Step 4 — Verify the information.
