An Online Gaming Licensing Authority

Lysis defined the compliance framework (view case study) and set up the operation including on-boarding and compliance specialists across first, second and third lines of defence. We also worked with technology partners to establish the operating framework and system support for the licensing body. We are now reviewing, and if successful on-boarding, an extensive book of elevated risk licensees including running a full AML enhanced due diligence process as well as examining their general gaming (e.g. responsible gambling) and technical (e.g. game certification) compliance. We are also running the on-going operation including regulatory reporting and continuous monitoring of the licensees in terms of their regulatory and technical compliance.
