How Operators Can Future-Proof Compliance and Maximise Player Value 

As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, iGaming operators face a critical question: how can they stay ahead of compliance demands without compromising growth or player experience? 

In episode #2 of Connected with Pragmatic Solutions, our CEO Ashley Lang sits down with Paul Foster and Simon Bold from Crucial Compliance to explore how smarter compliance strategies - powered by automation and behavioural data - are helping operators do exactly that.

Smarter compliance starts with smarter data 

One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is the power of behavioural data in redefining responsible gambling. Paul and Simon explain how Crucial Compliance move beyond static risk models to dynamic, real-time player insights - ensuring operators can protect players without sidelining valuable customer relationships. 

This is especially relevant when managing VIPs. Traditional compliance approaches often equate high spend with high risk. But as Crucial Compliance demonstrates, this is not always the case. By using behavioural analysis instead of legacy triggers, operators can make more informed decisions - and maintain strong relationships with high-value, low-risk players.
