Financial Crime Compliance is entering a new era for Europe’s gaming and gambling sector as the EU prepares to implement its Anti‑Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) and a unified regulatory framework under the Anti‑Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR). These reforms introduce a more consistent European rulebook and signal a significant shift in how operators will be expected to manage player risk, oversight and operational compliance.

As AMLA begins shaping new technical standards across areas such as customer due diligence, identity verification, transactional oversight and reporting expectations, gaming operators can anticipate clearer and stricter requirements at both governance and compliance operational levels. The challenge for the industry will be to adapt to these rising expectations while continuing to deliver a seamless and competitive player experience.

Moderated by Gabriela Potts, Business Development Director, this session will bring together experts from LexisNexis® Risk Solutions alongside leading external industry specialists to explore what AMLA and AMLR mean for the future of compliance in European gaming. The discussion will provide regulatory and policy perspectives on how the new framework is taking shape and what operators should expect as AMLA moves from design to implementation.

The panel discussion will examine how regulatory change may impact customer onboarding, KYC and transaction monitoring processes, and what gaming operators should prioritize as they prepare for more standardized and data‑driven regulatory oversight.

To close the session, Rocio Suarez, Market Planning Director FCC at LexisNexis® Risk Solutions, will offer a forward-looking perspective on the role of technology in connecting new AMLA expectations through robust, scalable compliance frameworks, helping operators bridge regulatory intent with operational reality.

Join us to understand what lies ahead, what will soon be required and how leading operators are preparing now for the next phase of European financial crime regulation.
