In today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, Ted Orme-Claye, Viktor Kayed, and Ted Menmuir break down the recent removal of Gibraltar and the UAE from the EU's Anti-Money Laundering (AML) watch list. Viktor, who originally broke the story for SBC News, details why this delisting marks a crucial turning point for these markets. Gibraltar, long regarded as a premier hub for European gaming operators and B2B technology providers, has worked swiftly to address shortcomings flagged by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)—strengthening its AML controls, asset seizure processes, and gambling oversight to restore its market reputation and access to EU business channels.The discussion then shifts to the United Arab Emirates, a fast-emerging player in the global iGaming scene. The UAE's removal from the AML list follows its creation of the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), a step towards a legalised and regulated gaming environment in the region. With Wynn Resorts' Ras Al Khaimah project on the horizon, the UAE is positioning itself not just as a potential destination for high-end land-based gaming but also as a future hub for game development, technology platforms, and iGaming investment—serving as a bridge to key Asian markets. However, the three caution against overestimating its immediate impact on broader online gambling in Asia, pointing to the unique complexities of neighboring countries such as China, India, and Japan.This episode highlights why these regulatory shifts are a game-changer for investors, gaming operators, and tech innovators alike. The removal from the EU and FATF “gray lists” reduces financial risk, removes regulatory barriers, and sends a strong signal of market credibility—opening doors for partnerships, funding, and new ventures in both Gibraltar and the UAE.

Imaginez : Monaco, le célèbre Rocher, paradis des milliardaires, haut lieu de la finance internationale…Mais aujourd'hui, cette image de place sûre et prestigieuse est en train de vaciller. La Commission européenne s'apprête à placer la principauté sur sa liste noire des juridictions à haut risque en matière de blanchiment d'argent et de financement du terrorisme.Tout commence il y a un an, en juin 2024. Le Groupe d'action financière, ou FATF — le grand gendarme mondial de la lutte contre le blanchiment — inscrit Monaco sur sa liste grise. Une liste qui signale des lacunes sérieuses dans le dispositif anti-blanchiment du pays.Le message est clair : malgré des lois adoptées en urgence fin 2022, la mise en œuvre sur le terrain reste insuffisante. Trop peu de contrôles, un suivi lacunaire des transactions suspectes, et des failles dans la traçabilité des fonds.Or, en Europe, cette inscription sur la liste grise du FATF a une conséquence automatique : Bruxelles doit examiner l'opportunité d'inscrire Monaco sur sa propre liste noire, celle des juridictions dites "à haut risque" pour le système financier de l'Union.Et c'est exactement ce qui est en train de se jouer. Les services de la Commission viennent de finaliser leur évaluation. Sauf coup de théâtre, le Parlement européen devrait valider cette inscription d'ici quelques semaines.Les conséquences ? Elles seraient lourdes pour Monaco.D'abord en termes d'image : la principauté rejoindrait des pays comme le Panama ou le Zimbabwe sur cette liste noire, un coup dur pour son prestige.Ensuite, en pratique : toutes les banques et institutions financières européennes seraient tenues de renforcer drastiquement leurs contrôles sur les transactions avec Monaco. Résultat probable : un net ralentissement des flux financiers, un risque de fuite des clients fortunés vers des places perçues comme plus sûres.Pour Monaco, l'enjeu est désormais vital : il faut démontrer, preuves à l'appui, que les réformes ne sont pas seulement cosmétiques mais bel et bien efficaces. Le gouvernement princier accélère les recrutements d'enquêteurs, renforce les capacités de sa cellule de renseignement financier, tente de convaincre Bruxelles qu'il peut encore éviter l'infamie.Mais le temps presse. Et l'Europe, dans un contexte international marqué par la guerre en Ukraine et la multiplication des réseaux criminels transnationaux, entend durcir le ton.Pour le Rocher, le compte à rebours a commencé.

In this conversation, OpnState shares his journey from a disillusioned banker to a policy advisor focused on compliance and anti-money laundering (AML) laws. He discusses the complexities of financial regulations, the erosion of individual rights, and the impact of global standard-setting bodies like the FATF on national sovereignty. OpnState emphasizes the presumption of guilt in financial transactions and the challenges posed by compliance culture, while also addressing the future of self-hosted wallets and the potential for pushback against globalist interests.  Stephan & OpnState also discuss the dangers of delegating self-sovereignty to political figures and the compliance mindset that has permeated society.
