Antigua Strengthens Online Gambling Regulation, by Phillip Morton, Investors Offshore.com
Thursday, April 16, 2009
Antigua and Barbuda’s online-gambling industry has undergone several
regulatory changes to include provisions to combat money laundering and terrorism
financing, the Directorate of Offshore Gaming has announced. The Directorate is a subsection
of the islands’ Financial Services Regulatory Commission.
Kaye McDonald, Director of Gaming said:
“Our regulatory model is founded on three distinct pillars: prevention
of money laundering; licensee integrity, transparency and accountability; and,
above all, safeguarding the interests and well-being of the online players.
Our licensees work with us collaboratively to continuously improve compliance
measures - they recognize that a strong regulatory system protects their players
and enhances the credibility of the industry in general, which is in everyone’s
mutual interest.”
McDonald explained that the industry will now be monitored more closely by
the introduction of the ‘Know Your Client’ initiative, regular external
audits and the introduction of a new monitoring programme which will oversee
the sector through industry-specific computer assisted auditing techniques
to actively monitor the complex business of licensees and to ensure compliance
requirements are fully adhered to.
Antigua has been commended for its enforcement of the latest best standards
and has been set aside from many other jurisdictions for being socially-responsible
by protecting potentially vulnerable players through the Responsible Gambling
and Gambling Addiction Research and Education Fund (GAREF).
“The ongoing improvements to our statutory requirements ensure that our
licensees comply with internationally accepted best practices, and further affirms
their commitment to socially responsible practices,” concluded McDonald.
