Consultancy for Regulators
Independent expertise to shape robust rules, strengthen supervision and improve operator outcomes — across online and retail. We understand Operators and can translate their operations into Regulator Requirements for maximum effectiveness.
We help authorities turn policy into practice. Our consultants design proportionate rules, strengthen day‑to‑day supervision and make audits evidence‑ready for both online and retail markets. We cover overall governance, safer gambling (responsible gambling, RG), anti‑money laundering (AML), operations and reporting.
Translate legislative intent into clear guidance, operator handbooks and technical standards. We map requirements to real operational controls, so guidance is practical and testable in the field. Our approach brings a balanced, harm‑prevention lens.
Design and run thematic reviews, deep‑dive audits and multi‑brand assessments. We benchmark against best practice, stress‑test workflows, and deliver gap analyses with prioritised action plans — ready for follow‑up and enforcement where needed.
Create or refine licensing processes, evidence templates and ongoing reporting. We help standardise policies, procedures and governance so applications and renewals are faster to review and easier to compare.
Evaluate markers of harm (MOH), AML flags, triggers and bundles across all operators. We review configuration, false positives/negatives, and evidence trails to ensure models are explainable and proportionate to risk appetite and market context.
From Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) and Personal Management Licence (PML) responsibilities to RG interactions and governance, we deliver targeted training for supervisors and policy teams — practical, case‑based and jurisdiction‑aware.
HOW IT WORKS
HOW IT WORKS
01
Calibrate & Kick-Off
We align on scope, jurisdictions and risk appetite. Together we map policy goals to operational controls, data sources and reporting needs, so success is measurable from day one.
02
Go Live
We run workshops, audits and trials; configure tools and templates; and train your team to run the programmes independently.
03
Prove & Improve
Dashboards, audit trails and follow‑ups demonstrate effectiveness. We refine guidance and thresholds as rules and market behaviour evolve.
We combine deep operator know‑how with regulatory policy and supervision expertise. Our team builds risk models and reporting suites, conducts comprehensive risk and compliance assessments, and collaborates across markets – ensuring a balanced, evidence‑based approach. We work in multi‑market Global contexts and understand how to operationalise rules at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide independent assessments?
Yes. We deliver regulator‑side audits and thematic reviews with clear evidence trails and prioritised actions for supervised entities.
Can you evaluate operators’ data, models and workflows?
We review MOH and AML flags/triggers/bundles, thresholds, case routes and audit logs, recommending changes that improve risk identification and reduce false positives.
Will our teams get practical training?
Yes — from RG interactions and AML casework to governance and board reporting. Programmes are workshop‑led and tailored to your jurisdiction.
Can you help update licensing processes and templates?
We create application and ongoing‑reporting templates, governance artefacts and review checklists that make assessments faster and more consistent.
Do you work across multiple jurisdictions?
We support EU multi‑market contexts and align programmes to local frameworks, drawing on our experience with operators and regulators across Europe.
Is technology required?
No. Our consultancy stands alone. If desired, we can support pilots and demonstrations via our platform — available as SaaS, with on‑premise or client‑hosted options.
