Navigating regulatory change in gaming and wagering
11 September 2025
Recently, Momenta hosted a roundtable event which brought together senior leaders from the casino, wagering and online gaming industries. The discussions explored practical ways that the sector can keep pace with ongoing regulatory change while lifting outcomes for customers, communities and regulators.
The heart of the challenge
Several clear themes emerged with the standout premise that when operations, compliance and regulators align on shared objectives, uplift happens faster with less friction.
Further to this, participants highlighted the opportunity to embed compliance into day-to-day rhythms, supported by leadership, clear communication and a culture that makes “doing the right thing” easy.
Many teams discussed how they are actively moving from spreadsheets and one-off mapping to fit-for-purpose platforms that reflect gaming’s unique context, with AI and analytics delivering outsized value when the data foundations are ready. It was also noted that platforms designed for other industries such as banking often do not translate across to the gaming sector, where the availability, depth and validity of data is not sufficient.
The power of partnership
There was strong support for proactive engagement with regulators, such as sharing context early, co-designing practical controls and focusing on measurable harm reduction.
Leaders also saw momentum in industry collaboration on data standards, alert tuning and typologies, so effort is spent where it matters most.
