   Personal licence conditions

3.1.1 - Peer to peer gaming

Applies to:

Remote casino licences (except ancillary remote and casino (game host) licences).

All licensees who provide facilities for peer to peer gaming in circumstances in which they do not contract directly with all of the players using those facilities (‘network operators’) must have, put into effect and monitor the effectiveness of, policies and procedures designed to ensure that:

1. every player using the facilities in Great Britain (‘a domestic player’) is doing so pursuant to a contract entered into between that player and the network operator, or that player and another holder of a Gambling Commission remote casino operating licence;
2. every player who is not a domestic player but who participates in a game of chance in which a domestic player also participates is doing so pursuant to a contract between that player and the network operator, or that player and another holder of a Gambling Commission remote casino operating licence, or a gambling operator not licensed by the Gambling Commission through which participants use the facilities outside Great Britain and which:
   1. holds all licences or permissions (if any) required in relation to its provisions of facilities for peer to peer gaming by the laws of the state or states in which it is domiciled or incorporated;
   2. has been approved by the network operator, after conducting due diligence enquires into those individuals who appear to the network operator to have a material financial interest in it, as suitable to provide those facilities; and in particular,
   3. has in place policies and procedures in respect of the identification of customers which in the network operator’s reasonable opinion satisfy requirements as to the customer due diligence broadly equivalent to those set out in Directive 2005/60/EC (‘the Third Money Laundering Directive’) or any subsequent replacement for re-enactment thereof;
3. the arrangements between the network operator and any remote casino licence holder through which domestic players access their facilities, and with gambling operators not licensed by the Gambling Commission through which players use their facilities outside Great Britain, provide in clear terms which operator is to be responsible for the handling of which categories of customer complaint and dispute; in particular such arrangements must provide how a dispute involving players from more than one jurisdiction is to be handled;
4. the network operator’s arrangements for the sharing of information both with any remote casino licence holder through which domestic players access their facilities and with gambling operators not licensed by the Gambling Commission through which participants use the facilities outside Great Britain are such as to enable all parties to discharge effectively their respective regulatory obligations, in particular in relation to:
   1. prevention of money laundering; combating the financing of terrorism; and where applicable, the Proceeds of Crime Act.
   2. investigation of suspected cheating,
   3. combating of problem gambling, and
   4. investigation of customer complaints.
