Korea GIPA Representative
The amended Game Industry Promotion Act (GIPA) in Korea requires gaming companies with no address or place of business in Korea to designate a domestic representative once they pass the thresholds in the Presidential Decree.

What a Korea GIPA Representative does
The Korea Game Industry Promotion Act (GIPA) applies to foreign game publishers and providers that serve players in Korea, even if they don't hold an address or a place of business there.
A Korea GIPA Representative:
Acts as your designated domestic representative once you cross the user-count and revenue thresholds set in the Presidential Decree.
Carries out the reporting duties under Article 31(2) of the GIPA.
Fulfils disclosure duties under Article 33 of GIPA.
Failing to appoint a Korea GIPA Representative exposes organisations to administrative fines of up to KRW 20 million.
As with our other representation services, Prighter will serve as your local presence, handling reporting and managing inbound intake , so your team can operate from a single, familiar dashboard rather than a Korean intermediary.

Global Representation FAQs
Is there a single global Representative requirement?
No. Representation requirements are jurisdiction-specific. Each country or region maintains its own legal framework and supervisory authority.
Can one provider manage representation in multiple jurisdictions?
Separate legal mandates are required in each jurisdiction. A coordinated provider can streamline oversight and management across markets.
Does appointing Representatives mean full compliance globally?
No. Representation fulfils formal legal requirements where applicable. Substantive compliance obligations remain with your organisation in each jurisdiction.
How do we determine where we need representation?
This depends on where you offer services, process personal data and operate infrastructure. A structured cross-border assessment is the starting point.
