Platform Solutions Licensed
Introduction
The presence and support of current gambling licenses is a prerequisite for any platform solution for online casinos. The license guarantees compliance with local regulations, honesty of games and security of financial transactions, and also allows you to bring the product to the markets of Europe, Asia and other regions.
1. Principal jurisdictions and their requirements
1. Malta (MGA)
Strict audit of the random number generator (RNG) and transaction postings.
Mandatory KYC/AML module with PEP/Sanctions features and data retention up to 7 years.
Minimum operator capital, regular reporting to MGA.
2. UK (UKGC)
Monthly publications of financial reports, certification of game suppliers from LAB-Test.
High requirements for the protection of players (self-exclusion, betting limits) and the protection of personal data.
3. Curacao (Curacao eGaming)
More loyal technical audit requirements, a multi-jurisdictional proposal is allowed.
Notarial confirmation of the general procedure for payments, annual audit.
4. Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Spain, Italy
Each market dictates its own conditions: from mandatory localization of servers to integration with state registers of players and multi-channel tax reports.
2. RNG and Game Integrity Audit
RNG Module Certification
The platform must integrate an RNG library certified by independent laboratories (eCOGRA, iTech Labs).
The technical module requests generation events and stores them in immutable logs for audit.
Periodic inspection
Annual and unscheduled RNG tests with payment distribution reports (RTP, volatility).
Integration with monitoring systems for real-time deviation tracking.
3. Financial licences and flows
Escrow account
Separation of player deposits and operating capital, storage in a trust account in a bank.
Payment modules
PCI DSS certificates for working with cards, implementation of card tokenization and HSM signature Webhooks.
Reporting and tax modules
Automatic export of transactions in XML/CSV formats according to the requirements of CEF, FATCA, CRS.
API synchronization with the operator's ERP/1C system to simplify tax accounting.
4. Technical Compliance Modules
1. KYC/AML platform
Connecting ID providers (Onfido, Jumio) via REST/Webhook, storing statuses in PMS.
Automatic PEP/Sanctions screening and SAR generation in suspicious surgeries.
2. Self-exclusion и Responsible Gaming
Mechanisms of global and local self-exclusion, limits on deposits and losses.
Frontend module of warnings and periodic reminders to players.
3. Audit Trail and immutable logs
All key operations (bets, payments, configuration changes) are recorded in WORM storage on an encrypted S3 bucket.
Access of audit services is implemented through the read-only API with versioning of records.
5. Multi-jurisdictional architecture management
Tenant-aware configuration
In the configs of each tenant (brand), a list of active licenses, allowed regions, language packages and currencies is specified.
Geo-routing
DNS mapping and edge balancing via GeoDNS: players automatically connect to nodes matching their license.
Feature flags per jurisdiction
Disabling prohibited mechanics (for example, removing no-deposit bonuses in the UK) through flags in the promo engine.
6. Renewing and renewing licenses
1. Monitoring of deadlines
The reminder service is integrated with the admin panel calendar; 90, 30 and 7 days before license end.
2. Automated Compliance Checks
Regular health-check API compliance endpoints: checks for EN error codes in compliance modules.
3. CI/CD for compliance modules
Migrations of legal texts and regulatory rules are stored in Git and deposited with the main code, after approval by the legal department.
Conclusion
Online casino platform solutions require a comprehensive licensing approach, from RNG and PCI DSS certification to KYC/AML modules and geo-routing. Flexible multi-jurisdictional architecture, tenant-aware configurations and automated license renewal processes ensure that the operator can operate legally and securely in any market, minimizing the risk of inconsistency and downtime.
