GDPR

An essential aspect of working with gambling projects involves complying with the EU Directive on the collection, processing, storage, and protection of EU citizens’ personal data (GDPR). Non-compliance with GDPR requirements, including the absence or mismatch of Privacy Policy or internal rules on the website, incurs substantial fines.

The SBSB team offers GDPR compliance services. Initially, lawyers conduct a comprehensive audit of the project to ensure compliance with personal data processing policies, identifying potential risks and vulnerabilities. Based on the assessment report, recommendations are developed and implemented to ensure GDPR compliance. If needed, our specialists can conduct personal data protection and GDPR training.

AML for Gambling

Acquiring a license is one of the primary steps in launching a gambling project, but compliance with legislative requirements and regulatory standards to prevent financial crimes at all operational stages is equally crucial. SBSB experts recommend conducting an AML [Anti-Money Laundering] audit for gambling projects to identify risks, avoid fines and issues with law enforcement agencies, and transparently engage with regulators, banks, and partners.

Our team conducts AML audits in several stages:

• analysis and assessment of the anti-money laundering monitoring, prevention, and response system;
• identifying potential issues;
• providing recommendations for risk prevention and management to enhance internal compliance policies and procedures.

An AML audit helps align processes to prevent the platform from becoming a means of legitimizing criminally obtained incomes.

KYC for Gambling

The gambling industry must adhere to Know Your Client (KYC) rules. This practice safeguards the platform from reputational damage or financial costs and ensures user protection while validating the project’s legitimacy. Complying with these requirements helps prevent money laundering, theft of players’ personal data, account breaches, and other fraudulent activities related to finances or personal information.

SBSB experts develop individual KYC policies and secure solutions for each gambling project.
