Compliance and safer gambling
In regulated gambling, compliance is not a back-office function: it decides whether an operator keeps its licence. The biggest fines in the industry have been for failures in anti-money laundering and in protecting vulnerable customers.
Know your customer
- Identity and age verification, before play in most regulated markets.
- Checks against sanctions lists and for politically exposed persons.
- Enhanced due diligence and source-of-funds checks as spending rises.
Anti-money laundering
Operators are treated as obliged entities under anti-money laundering law in most regulated markets. They must assess their risks, monitor transactions, keep records and report suspicious activity to the authorities, and regulators test these systems in their audits.
Safer gambling
- Deposit, loss and time limits, reality checks and time-outs.
- Self-exclusion, including national registers such as GAMSTOP, Spelpaus, ROFUS, CRUKS, OASIS and BetStop.
- Monitoring of behaviour for signs of harm and a duty to act on them.
- Product rules such as stake limits and minimum spin times on slots.
RegTech
A supplier market has grown around these duties: identity and document verification, transaction monitoring, behavioural models that flag harm, geolocation for markets licensed by state, and reporting tools that feed regulators' data systems. For suppliers, a regulator's new rule is often a new product.
