Compliance
Advising leading gambling businesses on gambling licensing, regulation, compliance and enforcement is what we do all day, every day. Licensing and compliance go to the very heart of every business we act for because a licence is the most valuable asset of a business, it is a privilege not a right and there are ever increasing regulatory requirements. We are heavily engaged in helping our clients to achieve licensing and regulatory compliance, and we defend our clients from regulatory enforcement action wherever necessary.
We assist land-based and online gambling businesses on:
- General compliance and reporting requirements, including under the Gambling Act 2005 and associated legislation, the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice and Gambling Commission requirements
- Policies, procedures and controls
- Regulatory returns
- Foreign due diligence
- Internal reviews
- Third party audits
- Corporate governance
- Compliance assessments and investigations
- Remedial compliance programmes and action plans
- Customer account reviews
- Regulatory settlements
- Corporate evaluations
- Assurance statements
