EU Gambling Regulations Demand Real-Time Compliance Infrastructure by 2026
⚖️ Compliance deadline approaching
Two EU regulations will require online gambling operators to implement bank-level compliance systems starting August 2026.

- Tamper-proof audit logs
- Complete beneficial owner and source of funds documentation
- 8-hour emergency data production capability
- 5 years of secure wager data storage
Non-compliance consequences:
- Fines up to 4% of global annual turnover (AMLR)
- Fines up to 2% (e-Evidence)

PROVE IT offers an API solution using ICP Data Lake for immutable, real-time wager logging designed to meet both regulatory requirements.
