Gaming Compliance
An Online Gaming Licensing Authority
Our client was setting up a new online gaming licensing authority and sought a partner to advise on regulatory and compliance requirements and develop its Governance and Compliance Framework.
Lysis worked with our client to define an appropriate risk management approach for the potential licensees and then developed and implemented a Governance and Compliance Framework to deliver the risk model. We also provided input to new governing legislation that set up the authority and drafted the operating code of conduct.
Our client had a substantial backlog of transaction alerts. They were concerned that these included a number of true positives that therefore indicated suspicious activity and required reporting.
A crypto asset custodian based in the U.K. with global reach approached Lysis with the request to assist them with the process to obtain registration from the FCA which would enable them to operate in the UK market as a crypto asset business. Due to the holding company’s strong global footprint, part of the FCA requirements for registration included the need for a UK based money laundering reporting officer (MLRO).
One of our client's banks has flagged areas of our client's Ant-Money Laundering (AML) Governance and Compliance operation as a potential cause for concern. Our client asked Lysis to perform an independent review for them to establish if anything was genuinely wrong.
