Before you apply

Formerly First Sovereign Trust Limited (established 2004), rebranded as One Foundation — closes a loose thread from an earlier gaming-trust sweep where First Sovereign Trust's status was unconfirmed. Bluegrass Trust, flagged in the same earlier round, still has no discoverable current web presence and is treated as defunct or absorbed elsewhere; not added.
