The Spanish gaming regulator (DGOJ), in collaboration with the Public Treasury and the Executive Service of the Commission for the Prevention of Money Laundering and Monetary Offences (Sepblac), has held the first Sectoral Conference on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing with online gaming operators.

The meeting, which took place at the headquarters of the DGOJ on February 6, brought together representatives of authorised online gaming operators and regulatory and supervisory bodies to address current challenges in the prevention of money laundering, related to the area of regulatory compliance and the main risks of the activity.

The meeting was inaugurated by Mr. Mikel Arana, Director General of Gaming Regulation, together with Ms. Irene Sánchez Pérez, advisory member of the Public Treasury.

Arana then moderated the various presentations in which leading experts from Sepblac, the Financial Intelligence Unit and the Supervisory Authority for the Prevention of Money Laundering and the Public Treasury analysed the latest regulatory developments and sanctions at European and international level, presented the main findings in inspections of operators and spoke about the role of financial intelligence in the prevention and detection of risky operations, among other topics.

This was followed by a round table discussion, attended by experts such as Alberto Navarro, deputy assistant director of inspection at the DGOJ, and representatives of Sepblac and the Public Treasury, where the questions and doubts raised by online gaming operators were resolved.
