On the 1st of October 2021, the Dutch market was opened and the offering of remote gambling services without a Dutch license became illegal. The prohibition applies to any unlicensed offer made locally, regardless of the operator’s jurisdiction.
Keeping up-to-date with regulatory requirements and best practices for the prevention of money laundering and countering terrorist financing is not only a legal obligation, but also a critical column for the comprehensive risk management initiative any operator of gambling services has to maintain, in order to keep and develop one’s business operations.
In terms of AML/CFT compliance, the KSA also considers the prevention of manipulation and fraud prevention for critical topics, which need to be incorporated in a licensee’s AML/CFT governance initiative.
Under a license as issued by the KSA, an appropriate framework of policies, procedures and controls, the appointment of a nominated officer and training initiatives are regulatory must and also a business necessity.
