iGaming Compliance and KYC Software

Compliance built into the platform, not applied over the top

Regulated iGaming markets treat compliance as a condition of licence, not an optional feature. Compliance tooling bolted onto a platform after a regulatory audit creates fragile implementations: verification checks that can be bypassed, AML thresholds not wired to real-time data, and responsible gambling limits with no server-side enforcement. We build KYC, AML, and responsible gambling tooling as a first-class layer in the platform architecture.

  • KYC with document OCR, liveness detection, and tiered verification triggers integrated with Onfido, Jumio, or GBG

  • Real-time AML screening against PEP and sanctions lists with transaction velocity monitoring and SAR workflow

  • Source of funds checks at configurable deposit thresholds with document collection and compliance review queue

  • Responsible gambling tools including deposit limits, session limits, self-exclusion, and GAMSTOP integration for UKGC operators

The problem

Sound familiar?

  • Your KYC process is a mix of manual document checks and third-party portal logins that adds days to player onboarding?

  • AML transaction monitoring is a spreadsheet review your compliance officer runs at month end, not a real-time alert system?

Short answer

RaftLabs builds iGaming compliance software for licensed operators covering KYC identity verification with document OCR and liveness check, AML screening against PEP and sanctions lists, source of funds checks, responsible gambling tools including deposit limits and GAMSTOP self-exclusion integration, and regulatory reporting for UKGC, MGA, and Curacao licensing jurisdictions. Compliance tooling is built into the platform architecture rather than retrofitted after a regulatory audit, reducing both technical debt and licence risk.

Key takeaways

  • Verification status gates withdrawal eligibility at the wallet layer; responsible gambling limits are enforced server-side on deposit and session actions, not just displayed in account settings.
  • GAMSTOP self-exclusion checks run at both registration and login for UKGC-licensed platforms, with the API response logged for audit.
  • Jurisdiction is a configurable attribute per player account, so a single platform instance can serve UKGC, MGA, and Curacao rules simultaneously without a separate compliance codebase.
  • A single-jurisdiction compliance layer (KYC, AML screening, responsible gambling, basic reporting) delivers in 12-14 weeks; source of funds, GAMSTOP, and multi-jurisdiction reporting extend it to 14-16 weeks.

Compliance built into the platform, not applied over the top

UKGC licence conditions require identity verification before withdrawal, AML monitoring with documented SAR procedures, and responsible gambling tools that are demonstrably enforced, not just present in the UI. We build compliance as a first-class layer: verification status gates withdrawal eligibility, AML monitoring runs against the transaction ledger in real time, and responsible gambling limits are enforced server-side on deposit and session actions.

Capabilities

What we build

  • 01
    KYC and identity verification

    Document OCR and liveness detection confirm identity in real time, with tiered verification triggers escalating to enhanced due diligence at higher deposit thresholds. Verification status is a platform-level attribute that gates withdrawal eligibility.

    Built with
    Onfido · Jumio · GBG
  • 02
    AML screening and transaction monitoring

    Real-time PEP and sanctions screening runs at registration and every deposit, with transaction velocity and structuring detection flagging patterns outside expected player behaviour. SAR workflow covers triage through submission with full audit logging.

  • 03
    Source of funds and enhanced due diligence

    Source of funds checks trigger automatically at cumulative deposit thresholds, with document collection suspending higher deposit tiers until reviewed, and enhanced due diligence escalation routing unresolved cases to the MLRO.

  • 04
    Responsible gambling tools

    Deposit, session, loss, and wager limits are enforced at the wallet layer, not just displayed in account settings, with self-exclusion and GAMSTOP integration checking the UK's national register at registration and login.

  • 05
    Regulatory reporting and audit trail

    Regulator data returns generate from platform data for UKGC and MGA formats, with every compliance action, verification decisions, limit changes, SAR submissions, written to an audit log with timestamp and operator identity.

  • 06
    Geo-blocking and player eligibility

    IP-based jurisdiction detection and registration country validation block access from territories outside your licence, with VPN detection flagging circumvention attempts for compliance review rather than silent pass-through.

    Jurisdiction-specific rules are configuration, not a fork, so adding a licence doesn't mean rebuilding compliance.

Frequently asked questions

The UKGC's Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice require identity verification before withdrawal and affordability assessment steps proportionate to risk. Higher-value customers require enhanced due diligence including source of funds checks. We build the technical implementation of whatever thresholds and workflows your compliance team and legal counsel specify, with the audit trail required.

At registration, the platform queries the GAMSTOP API with the player's name, date of birth, and email. If the player is on the register, registration is rejected. The same check runs at login for existing accounts, with the API response logged with a timestamp for audit purposes.

Yes. Jurisdiction is a configurable attribute on the player account, so rules applied to a UK player differ from those applied to an MGA player in the same platform instance. Report generation is jurisdiction-specific, and responsible gambling tool requirements also vary by jurisdiction.

A compliance layer covering KYC, real-time AML screening, responsible gambling tools, and basic regulatory reporting for a single jurisdiction typically delivers in 12 to 14 weeks at a fixed cost. Adding source of funds workflow, GAMSTOP integration, and multi-jurisdiction reporting extends the timeline to 14 to 16 weeks.
