Compliance & Licensing Glossary

The licensing, AML and player-protection vocabulary that regulators use in their guidance and that operators have to answer to.

Compliance terms rarely have a single definition: the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority and Curacao's GCB all mean something slightly different by 'due diligence' or 'self-exclusion'. The definitions here describe what the requirement is in practice, which regulators enforce it and what it costs to get wrong. Where a term ties to a supplier licence or a specific market, the entry links to the iGamingHub articles that go into the dates and fees. Read this page before a licence application or a platform migration, not after the regulator writes.
