Australia’s Media and Communications Authority AMCA has entered into talks with officials from the Curacao's Gaming Control Board (CGCB), regarding the offering of games of chance to Australia-based B2C customers. From the perspective of the Australian laws, the offering of gaming services without a domestic license is illegal. The AMCA as the authority in charge has engaged in blocking illegal websites since the early days, leading to around 950 Curacao-licensed or -operated websites being blocked for Australian players currently. Despite the fierce approach towards online gambling services, the AMCA has had hard time to get through to the Curacao government on that matter, for years. Now, as announced by an AMCA spokesperson, things in regard to the international collaboration with Curacao authorities have significantly improved and officials from both government agencies have agreed to cooperate more closely, in order to counter illegal gambling activities. The change of mind o comes with the establishment of the CGCB and the new licensing regime in Curacao at the door, providing for a more sound, robust and reliable regulatory framework for offshore gaming. The new licensing regime is expected to come into force during the year 2024, with the CGCB accepting applications for licences under the new regulation already. Interested in the latest developments regarding new Curacao gambling legislation, regulatory opportunities for offshore gaming operators and how stay compliant, out of the crosshairs of national and local supervisory authorities?

Ensuring a responsible gaming environment is fundamental to the future of betting in Brazil. As evidenced by the volume of advertising for these companies in the media, the betting market in the country is undergoing a period of transformation and strong expansion. In this regard, it is worth noting that the new regulatory framework for the sector places particular emphasis on the promotion of responsible gambling. For example, Ordinance SPA/MF 1.231, published at the end of July this year, establishes very clear guidelines for both operators and players to foster an environment of greater security and awareness. In fact, regulation not only protects consumers but also the integrity of the industry itself by combating practices such as the manipulation of results and money laundering. It also covers the protection of minors (who are not allowed to gamble) and the promotion of educational campaigns, which are fundamental for reducing the risks associated with pathological gambling. If you'd like to know more, the full text of the regulation is available at https://lnkd.in/drwMMQ8P. From a business perspective, a commitment to fostering an ethical and sustainable gambling market should be viewed not only as a legal responsibility but also as a chance to create a sector that positively contributes to society. Responsibility in this effort is shared among operators, consumers, regulators, and all stakeholders directly or indirectly involved in the betting industry. By working together, we can focus on building a healthy ecosystem grounded in responsible practices and effective, well-enforced regulations, helping to ensure long-term growth and societal impact. #ResponsibleGambling #Betting #Regulation
