Isabelle Zanzer, Co-Founder, Complianceplay
If you think that navigating gambling regulations feels like playing a game of roulette blindfolded, then you are not alone. The industry’s labyrinth of advertising laws, responsible gaming mandates, technical compliance checks and licensing requirements can make even the most seasoned professional feel like they are betting against the house. But what if there were a way to tilt the odds in your favour?
Artificial Intelligence: the industry’s new ace up its sleeve.
Together with my co-founder Ralitsa Eide, we quickly recognised both the potential and the challenges faced by the industry. By combining our human expertise with AI’s tireless efficiency, we explore and synthesize information faster than a dealer can shuffle, turning complex industry challenges into streamlined solutions with a touch of finesse.
This ultimately led to the birth of Complianceplay AI, the first state-of-the art AI tool, designed and trained to answer any question on any market accurately in seconds – starting with Brazil.
Brazil: the new hotspot in regulated gambling
Brazil’s move towards regulation is one of the industry’s most exciting recent developments. With a population exceeding 200 million and a deep-rooted passion for sports – especially football – Brazil presents a significant opportunity for gambling operators.
The Brazilian government’s new legislation to regulate online sports betting and other forms of gambling is set to launch next year, aiming to generate additional tax revenue and curb illegal gambling activities. But as exciting as this sounds, entering this emerging market is not straightforward.
The evolving regulatory environment requires companies to stay agile and well-informed. AI-powered compliance platforms are stepping up to meet this challenge. By utilizing advanced algorithms, these platforms can swiftly analyse Brazil’s complex regulations, ensuring that companies remain compliant while capitalizing on new opportunities.
AI revolutionizes regulatory compliance
Keeping up with gambling regulations can be likened to a never-ending game of ‘Whack-a-Mole’, with new laws appearing as soon as you think you are in the clear. According to a 2022 report by Gambling Insider titled AI Revolutionizes Regulatory Compliance in Gambling, companies leveraging AI have reduced compliance-related errors by up to 30% and cut down the time spent on regulatory processes by nearly 40%.
Advanced AI algorithms can sift through vast amounts of legal text in record time, identifying relevant regulations and flagging potential compliance issues. This not only ensures that companies stay on the right side of the law but also frees up valuable time and resources.
By automating these tasks, businesses can focus on delivering exceptional gaming experiences and strategizing for growth.
Predictive Analytics: anticipating market trends
Sweepstakes and prediction markets are often the ‘wildcards’ of the gambling world, subject to rapid changes in consumer behaviour. AI’s predictive analytics are transforming this uncertainty into a strategic advantage. As reported by iGaming Business in their article The Impact of Predictive Analytics on Gambling Trends, companies using AI-driven analytics have seen a 25% improvement in forecasting accuracy. This enhanced precision allows businesses to adapt quickly to market shifts, giving them a competitive edge.
Balancing Ethics & Profit: the role of responsible gambling
In today’s socially conscious environment, balancing ethical responsibility with revenue goals is both a moral imperative and a business necessity. AI technologies play a crucial role in this balance. They identify patterns indicative of problematic gambling behaviour, allowing operators to intervene proactively. By promoting responsible gambling, companies build trust and loyalty among their customers, which in turn drives long-term revenue growth.
Leveraging AI for competitive advantage
When I co-founded Complianceplay with Ralitsa Eide, we quickly realised that being the traditional consulting firm is not would best serve the industry or giving our clients the competitive advantage we aim to provide. The reality is, in today’s rapidly evolving business environment, traditional consulting firms that fail to incorporate technology into their operations risk becoming obsolete.
We realised that while our advice can help clients exponentially, there is only so much we can do with the time we have. We wanted to transfer our knowledge to AI, so instead of spending time repeatedly answering the same questions, we could train an AI model to provide those answers more quickly. This approach allows us to scale our expertise and offer immediate assistance to a broader range of clients.
This realisation led us to transform our consulting business into a technological powerhouse, harnessing the power of AI to stay ahead of the game and set new industry standards.
Recognising the growing complexities of compliance and the immense potential of AI, we shifted our focus to the development of AI-driven solutions that address the industry’s most pressing challenges.
By integrating our deep expertise in regulatory frameworks, privacy, data protection and responsible gambling, we created a unique AI tool that can be trained and customized to any market of choice, providing accurate responses to regulatory questions and even scenarios in a matter of seconds.
With Ralitsa’s deep understanding of compliance and regulatory matters, combined with her proficiency in privacy laws, and my knowledge of emerging markets, we could not help but ask ourselves: Why not leverage it to create something transformative?
Built on experience of challenge and complexity
Our experiences have shown us the challenges and complexities of the industry, and we saw an opportunity to make a significant impact by integrating our expertise with cutting-edge technology.
This led us to harnessing the power of AI to stay ahead of the game and set new industry standards. By embracing AI, we are not just keeping up with technological trends but setting new standards in the industry. Our combined expertise demonstrates that leveraging AI is not merely about adopting new technologies; it is about reshaping the way businesses operate to gain a competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving market.
Why AI is the real game-changer
In an industry where the house typically has the advantage, AI is levelling the playing field. It is helping companies navigate complex regulations, predict market trends and promote responsible gambling, all while enhancing profitability. Businesses embracing AI are not only more compliant but also more efficient, leading to increased revenues and customer satisfaction.
Conclusion: Do not leave compliance to chance
The industry thrives on calculated risks, but when it comes to regulatory compliance and market strategy, it is wise to play your cards right.
AI offers a way to navigate these challenges with confidence and precision. By leveraging AI technologies, companies can stay ahead of the curve, ensuring compliance while maximizing growth opportunities.
In the high-stakes world of gambling, AI is not just another player; it is a tool that can help craft a winning strategy, and that is a bet worth making!
