The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has sent out a strong and clear message to licensed operators informing them that they have to step up their game when it comes to compliance or face harsh penalties.
Licensed operators have been encouraged to take more initiative to protect their players from gambling harm and to ensure they fully comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. This will require operators to be more diligent in their know your customer (KYC) verification procedures and to be extra careful to check their player’s source of funds.
Playtech entered into an agreement with TruNarrative earlier in 2020 to strengthen its Information Management Systems (IMS) platform. Playtech has confirmed that it will be using the company’s Affordability UK eKYC services to help its list of operating partners meeting the stringent gaming regulations being imposed by the UKGC as well as other regulators around the world.
