IAGR2025 session:
PANEL: Crypto-assets in gaming: Regulation, risk and public policy consideration
As crypto-assets become more visible in online gambling ecosystems, regulators and operators alike are grappling with how to manage their use responsibly.
This session explores the practical, regulatory and policy implications of crypto-assets in online gaming — including how they’re currently used, how volatility is managed and what obligations operators face under anti-money laundering and source-of-funds rules. Panellists will examine the challenges of overseeing crypto-based transactions in gambling environments.
The session will also explore broader public policy questions, including whether consumer demand alone justifies regulatory change — and what future developments may emerge as jurisdictions weigh innovation against integrity.
