Artificial Intelligence Act: Deal on Comprehensive Rules for Trustworthy AI

Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and the Council reached a provisional agreement on the Artificial Intelligence Act, aiming to ensure AI in Europe is safe, respects fundamental rights and democracy, and promotes innovation.

The rules include prohibitions on certain AI applications, such as biometric categorization systems using sensitive characteristics, untargeted scraping of facial images for recognition databases, workplace and educational emotion recognition, social scoring based on personal characteristics, and AI systems manipulating human behavior to circumvent free will.

The legislation establishes obligations for high-risk AI systems, such as mandatory fundamental rights impact assessments, and guardrails for general artificial intelligence systems, including transparency requirements and stricter obligations for high-impact models with systemic risk.

The rules also include measures to support innovation and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as regulatory sandboxes and real-world testing. Non-compliance can result in fines ranging from €7.5 million or 1.5% of turnover to €35 million or 7% of global turnover, depending on the infringement and company size.

Cashless Gaming Set for B2B Expansion in New South Wales

The New South Wales (NSW) government has selected four B2B gaming suppliers, including Aristocrat Leisure, eBet, International Game Technology (IGT), and Light & Wonder, to participate in the next round of trials for cashless gaming.

The trial, part of the government's player protection, social responsibility, and anti-money laundering (AML) objectives, will involve testing cashless gaming at 4,500 electronic gaming machines across the state. The NSW Independent Panel on Gaming Reform, overseeing regulatory changes and safer gambling measures, will monitor the trials to assess the impacts on employees, infrastructure, and technology costs, considering various venue types and stringent cybersecurity requirements.

The trials aim to provide insights into countering money laundering and reducing gambling harm through cashless technology.

Brazilian Committee approves ban on influencers advertising unregulated betting sites

The Communication Committee of Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies has approved a proposal to prohibit social media influencers from advertising unregulated gambling websites.

If the proposal becomes law, online influencers will be banned from promoting gambling with unlicensed operators in videos, stories, or any other forms of online media.

Other rules introduced include the requirement for influencers to make clear the commercial nature of any advertising content, inclusion of information about the negative consequences of gambling, and a written contract governing the relationship between influencers and advertisers.

Failure to comply could lead to suspensions for influencers and fines for social media companies.

Italian gambling sector slams plan to drastically increase licence fees

Trade bodies representing the entire Italian gambling industry, including Acadi, Sapar, Astro, EGP-FIPE, Logico, and ACMI, have opposed the government's gambling reform program.

While they support the reorganisation program's principle to combat illegal gambling, they criticize certain aspects. The proposed increase in fees to €7 million and the reduction of operators from 91 to 20 are deemed damaging to small and medium-sized enterprises.

Concerns were also raised about the lack of action in sponsorship and marketing, as the current blanket ban on all gambling advertising is seen as contributing to the country's black market. The overall reform process is expected to be completed in 2024.

Philippines gross gaming revenues hit record Php285.27 billion in 2023

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has announced that the country's gross gaming revenues (GGR) in 2023 reached a record PHP 285.27 billion, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. This new GGR record is 11.22% higher than the previous high of PHP 256.49 billion set in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic.

PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco stated that the results exceeded optimistic projections, indicating a full recovery for the Philippine gaming industry. The achievement makes the 2024 GGR projection of PHP 336.38 billion more achievable, especially with the opening of new integrated resorts in the coming year. Integrated resorts remain the biggest contributors to the industry's revenue, followed by the Electronic Games sector.

PAGCOR-operated casinos under the Casino Filipino brand also made significant contributions. The E-Games sector, comprising e-casinos, e-bingo, sports betting, and specialty games, is projected to be the fastest-growing sector in the coming years.

Crypto firms to face stricter AML rules under new EU framework

The European Union is set to introduce stricter anti-money laundering (AML) rules for cryptocurrency firms under a new framework.

The regulations will mandate enhanced due diligence for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) and impose measures for transactions involving high-risk third countries and luxury goods traders. Member states' Financial Intelligence Units will gain new powers for immediate access to financial, administrative, and law enforcement records, including tax data and information on frozen funds.

The framework also aims to ban cash transactions exceeding €10,000 and introduce transparency rules on beneficial ownership. CASPs will be classified as "obliged entities," requiring them to conduct due diligence on customers, including know-your-customer practices for transactions over €1,000.

The framework will undergo approval processes before being officially adopted.
