New challenges for e-Gambling operators
Most
of
the
)me
these
groups
are
launching
a
combina)on
of
both
change
management
programs
for
their
IT
infrastructure
as
well
as
reshuffling
of
their
exis)ng
strategy
for
each
market
assessed.
Before
e-‐Gaming
laws
are
enforced,
leading
groups
are
always
lobbying
governments
for
legisla)on
that
both
meet
the
needs
and
desires
of
the
regulators
(Tax
&
Technical
Guidelines)
whilst
remaining
commercially
aFrac)ve
to
ensure
that
regulated
companies
are
not
at
a
significant
disadvantage
to
unregulated
companies.

Main challenges for local regulators
Governments
are
op-ng
for
different
tax
levels
and
market
rules,
but
most
of
the
-mes
their
security
guidelines
are
very
similar.
Regulators
are
in
charge
of
the
protec)on
of
players,
by
checking
that
websites
are
not
vulnerable
and
that
an)-‐fraud
and
an)-‐collusion
processes
are
in
place
in
every
licensed
operator.
Regulators
are
also
in
charge
of
checking
tax
payments
are
ok,
of
figh)ng
against
Money
Laundering
and
Financing
of
Terrorism.
These
tasks
require
an
autonomous
access
to
gaming
transac)ons

Regulators challenges
a.
Market
intelligence
i.
Where
are
currently
playing
your
residents
?
ii.
Can
you
compete
with
illegal
licenses
?
b.
Establish
a
clear
roadmap
with
poli)cal
authori)es,
with
2
major
risks
:
i.
Schlewig-‐Holstein
and
Netherlands.
Avoid
any
collision
with
elec)on
dates
!
ii.
Establish
a
clear
objec)ves
list

Regulators challenges
c.
Reques)ng
the
right
level
of
security,
2
risks:
i.
Absolute
Poker
scandal
in
Kanawakee
regula)on
ii.
And
some
European
regulators
that
will
get
no
access
to
interconnected
poker
rooms
markets
between
Italy,
France
and
Spain.
d.
Establish
a
consistent
authorized
game
list:
i.
if
tax
incomes
forecast
are
high,
then
this
game
list
should
be
aFrac)ve
and
include
casinos
games
and
interna)onal
liquidity
opened
for
poker
operators.
ii.
Simplify
the
games
terminology
and
avoid
any
lack
of
clarity
in
the
list,
like
in
Italy.
In
general
adopt
the
same
game
list
adopted
by
in
other
countries.
iii.
Don't
include
games
that
can
be
easily
frauded
like
Chess
in
Italy.
In
general,
only
Mul)
players
Cards
games
are
safe
from
what
is
called
today
Social
Games:
Casual
games
are
too
much
different
from
one
version
to
another
to
be
regulated,
RPG
are
not
adapted.

Regulators challenges
e.
Bring
equality
between
players:
If
an
operator
is
already
ac)ve
before
the
opening
of
the
market,
the
regulator
should
not
let
him
use
the
same
commercial
name
for
online
ac)vity.
This
issue
appeared
in
France
with
the
na)onal
horse
be^ng
company
using
its
name
in
adver)sing
campaigns
before
the
opening
of
the
market.
f.
Control
operators,
even
if
their
pla_orm
is
already
ok
i.
automated
controls
systems
(like
eVault
solu)ons),
ii.
Specific
aspects
from
each
type
of
game
:
in
horse
be^ng,
frauds
come
from
)me
fixing
and
double
accounts
on
same
credit
cards
iii.
Shareholders
respectability
g.
Work
hand
in
hand
with
experts
like
security
ones
and
test
labs.
