Two EU regulations will require online gambling operators to implement bank-level compliance systems starting August 2026. The **e-Evidence Regulation (2023/1543)** takes effect in August 2026, allowing law enforcement across the EU to issue direct Production Orders requiring transaction data delivery within hours in urgent cases. The **Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (2024/1624)** follows in July 2027, mandating: - Real-time immutable transaction records - 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) - Immediate license suspension from regulators like MGA and UKGC Operators processing 1-5M+ daily transactions face significant technical challenges. The Dutch market demonstrated that excessive compliance burdens drive players to offshore operators while legal market volume stagnates. PROVE IT offers an API solution using ICP Data Lake for immutable, real-time wager logging designed to meet both regulatory requirements.
