With gaming regulations rapidly evolving, Info-Tech Research Group has published a new resource to equip IT leaders with a clear roadmap to navigate the complex landscape. The global research and advisory firm's industry blueprint offers a unified framework that aligns multiple compliance regimes, reducing risk and boosting efficiency. Industry expert Elizabeth Silva emphasizes the importance of continuous assessments, monitoring, and proactive audits to ensure lasting compliance and resilience in a dynamic industry.

TORONTO, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - The gaming industry is facing an increasingly complex regulatory environment, where overlapping compliance standards, rising noncompliance costs, and ever-evolving regulations are placing significant strain on operations. As a result, organizations are grappling with inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and escalating risks, all of which undermine their ability to operate effectively. To help address these challenges, IT research and advisory firm Info-Tech Research Group has published a data-backed blueprint, Build an IT Gaming Compliance Program, to give IT leaders a practical framework to streamline compliance processes and mitigate regulatory risks. By ensuring alignment with industry standards, the resource will help gaming organizations strengthen operations and effectively manage the growing complexities of today's regulatory landscape.

"As regulatory expectations evolve, gaming operators must remain vigilant and adapt quickly, which can be resource-intensive," says Elizabeth Silva, senior research analyst at Info-Tech Research Group.  "Ensuring player protection is a top priority, requiring operators to implement robust measures to prevent fraud and protect personally identifiable information (PII) while maintaining a seamless user experience."

Info-Tech's recently published research insights highlight the lack of a standardized IT gaming compliance framework, which complicates the implementation of effective compliance measures. The firm explains in the new resource that this inconsistency creates vulnerabilities, increasing the risk of regulatory breaches and exposing organizations to potential penalties or reputational damage. As new trends and market entrants emerge, organizations with lower maturity levels often struggle to navigate the complex regulatory landscape, leading to operational inefficiencies.

The firm's research emphasizes the importance of reducing complexity in the gaming control environment by adopting a unified framework that aligns multiple compliance regimes. A clear understanding of the domains that shape an effective IT gaming internal control framework is essential for managing regulatory obligations and minimizing risk.

2. Audit & Reporting – Conduct regular system reviews, maintain accurate logs, and meet regulatory reporting obligations.
   
   
3. Training & Awareness – Provide ongoing education to employees on compliance, cybersecurity, and regulatory responsibilities to mitigate risk.
   
   
4. System Integrity & Monitoring – Maintain system reliability through active monitoring, change management, and incident response processes.
   
   
5. Gaming Software & Hardware Control – Safeguard the fairness and integrity of gaming systems through testing, updates, and secure hardware oversight.
   
   
6. Vendor & Service Provider Management – Ensure third-party compliance through contractual safeguards and periodic assessments.
   
   
7. Network Security & Data Protection – Protect sensitive player data with encryption, cybersecurity controls, and adherence to data retention regulations.
   
   
8. Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity – Develop and regularly test plans for data backup, system recovery, and operational continuity.

By addressing these domains within a unified framework, organizations can streamline compliance efforts, reduce regulatory risk, and drive operational efficiency. The resource also further underscores the critical role of continuous monitoring, regular assessments, and proactive audits in sustaining compliance.
