About this Micro-Credential

This Micro-Credential is designed for compliance leadership, providing in-depth theoretical insights into compliance, its societal and economic significance, various models and approaches, and the core policy, legal, and regulatory elements. It offers a global perspective on gambling compliance, delving into key jurisdictions such as Gibraltar, the UK, and a selected EU member state, with contributions from local experts.

This Micro-Credential’s three core units focus on critical compliance subjects: fairness and integrity, anti-money laundering (AML), and responsible gambling (RG). You will be able to collaborate with subject experts to explore risks and responses, particularly at the intersections of AML and RG.

Practical application is a key component, teaching you how to establish, implement, and oversee a company’s compliance framework, including readiness for regulatory assessments and potential penalties. Engage in lectures, discussions, case studies, and practical assignments, preparing you for compliance leadership roles in the dynamic gambling industry.
