DGOJ Holds Conference on Prevention of Money Laundering
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.

The Mill Adventure has obtained GLI-19 certification as it prepares to enter regulated online gaming in Ontario, a key step in the platform provider’s North American expansion plans.
The company said the certification supports technical compliance requirements common across regulated North American markets, including platform functionality, reporting processes, KYC measures and geolocation. GLI-19 is a technical standard used for interactive gaming systems.
The milestone comes ahead of The Mill Adventure’s planned launch with its first client in Ontario. The company said it will build on experience in multiple European regulated jurisdictions as it targets further growth in North America.
The Mill Adventure also pointed to recent developments including the launch of Dutch operator Winz.nl and a wider integration with Optimove’s CRM suite.
Bjørnar Heggernes, Chief Commercial Officer at The Mill Adventure, said: “Achieving GLI-19 certification reinforces that our platform and compliance framework are built to support the complexity regulated operators face in markets like Ontario, without compromising performance or scalability.
“Our focus is not simply on entering North America, but on becoming a long-term technical partner for operators looking to scale efficiently across regulated jurisdictions.”

EveryMatrix has received conditional licensing approval from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) to offer its iGaming technology in Alberta.
The approval allows the supplier to provide casino and sports platform technologies to licensed operators in the province, which is expected to launch a regulated iGaming market in July. Alberta would become Canada’s second regulated iGaming territory after Ontario.
At launch, EveryMatrix said it will offer titles from its in-house studio Fantasma Games and aggregated content, with plans to expand its portfolio over time.
The company said the Alberta approval adds to its North American licensing footprint, which includes Ontario (since 2022) and US states New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. EveryMatrix also said it has signed agreements to deliver platform and in-house gaming content in Alberta.

The approval enables the Group to provide its award-winning casino and sports platform technologies to licensed operators in Alberta, soon to become Canada’s second regulated iGaming territory following Ontario.
