Dr. Hartmann outlined the key elements of the new framework, including the creation of Amla&nbsp;(expected to become operational in 2026), a shift from directives to directly applicable regulations, and&nbsp;the expansion of the list of obliged entities to include sectors such as crypto services and football clubs.<\/p>\n<p>She also shared that since 2022, there has been a significant rise in Aml&nbsp;audits across the sector. Specifically, in 2024, Egba&nbsp;member operators underwent a total of 142 license audits,<strong> with 48 of those&nbsp;audits being anti-money laundering<\/strong>. She stressed that these numbers are expected to grow further as the importance of fighting money laundering continues to increase.<\/p>\n<p>Participants explored practical challenges of implementation, particularly the impact of enhanced due diligence (Edd) requirements on customer retention and compliance burdens across jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;<strong>The Aml&nbsp;reforms represent a major shift for both financial and non-financial sectors.<\/strong> Gambling operators must prepare now to adapt to the new Eu-wide standards,&rdquo; said Dr. Hartmann.<\/p>\n<p>The event also emphasized the benefits of regulatory harmonization and provided actionable insights for operators facing growing enforcement across the Eu. All attendees received a personalized certificate of&nbsp;participation, underscoring the importance of ongoing regulatory education.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This webinar is part of Egba&rsquo;s broader initiative to support the industry&rsquo;s transition<\/strong> to the new Aml framework ahead of the 10 July 2027 deadline.<br \/>\nIf you missed the webinar, you can catch the full session
