FAQs
What is “Gambling Compliance”?
Gambling Compliance refers to the wide set of laws, practices, and regulations that fully govern the operation of online gambling & betting companies. Compliance with each of these requirements is essential for ensuring that businesses operate in both a fair and transparent manner. This protects customers from harm, and ultimately avoids any regulatory risks.
Why is Gambling Compliance Important?
Complying with rules and regulations is important for both players & operators. It helps to protect customers from harm by ensuring that operators adhere to responsible gaming practices, prevent money laundering, and ultimately safeguard all customer data. For operators, gambling compliance is fully necessary in order to avoid heavy fines, reputational damage, and further fines. Finally, compliance also helps to ensure a level playing field for all betting companies within the industry.
Why is AML needed for Gambling?
AML stands for Anti-Money Laundering. These regulations are essential for the online gambling industry to prevent criminals from essentially using gambling companies in order to launder illicit funds. To prevent this, online gambling companies are required to conduct full customer due diligence, including identity verification, and monitoring for any suspicious activity. All of this helps to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and ultimately protects the integrity of the industry.
What is KYC in Gambling Compliance?
KYC stands for Know Your Customer. It is a key component of gambling compliance that requires operators to collect and fully verify customer information, such as name, address, and date of birth. This ultimately helps to prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities by ensuring that operators have a clear understanding of exactly who their customers are, and their activities on their platforms. KYC requirements may vary depending on the jurisdiction, but they are ultimately aimed at promoting responsible gaming and protecting customers from harm.
