Section B - Identify - Requirement 6

This current guidance was issued in August 2023 and is in effect from 31 October 2023. It replaces all earlier versions of guidance issued for remote gambling operators.

6. In accordance with SR Code 1.1.2 licensees are responsible for ensuring compliance with the requirements. In particular, if the licensee contracts with third party business-to-business providers to offer part of the facilities for gambling, the licensee is responsible for ensuring that systems and processes are in place to monitor the activity on the account for each of the indicators in paragraph 5 (a-g) and in a timely way as set out in paragraphs 7 and 8.

Aim

The aim of this requirement is to ensure that customers are given the same level of protection even where the licensee contracts with third parties, and that action can be taken in a timely manner including automated solutions.

This requirement confirms that the licensee must always have oversight of customers gambling activity, in order to effectively implement the customer interaction requirements, even if the licensee uses a third party business-to-business (B2B) provider to offer some products.

Formal guidance

6.1. If the licensee contracts with third party B2B providers to offer part of the facilities for gambling, the licensee is responsible for ensuring that systems and processes are in place to monitor the activity on the account for each of the minimum indicators of harm and in a timely way for example licensees cannot have arrangements in place with a third party provider where they are unaware of their customers gambling activity with that provider.
