iGP Matching Regulatory Expectations
Rapidly shifting gambling regulations are exposing the weaknesses of legacy iGaming platforms, causing operational delays, compliance risks, and loss of competitiveness for operators who cannot adapt quickly enough. Dirk Camilleri, Chief Product Officer at iGP, underlines the importance enabling agility and long-term stability by absorbing regulatory change rather than slowing business growth.
In many markets the reality has become brutally clear. Operators are facing a steady flow of regulatory changes that disrupt even the best prepared teams, with bonus rules tightening, game types disappearing, deposit limits shifting, and crypto options coming under new restrictions.
When a new rule appears, it diverts teams from their priorities and sends them into rapid adjustments across campaigns, reporting, payments, and responsible gaming frameworks. Each change reaches across multiple functions, and even a minor update can slow the entire organisation.
COMPLIANCE NEVER STANDS STILL
Predicting what comes next is difficult. While it is true that consultation papers and early signals offer some direction, a clear timeline is usually rare. Operators plan product launches and campaigns months ahead, then a regulatory update arrives midway and instantly takes priority.
Roadmaps change and resources move with it, which leaves one crucial question. Can the platform used by the operator adapt with the same urgency as the business itself? Many platforms were never built for the regulatory conditions operators face today. Tey grew through layers of code, integrations, and market specific patches.
When new rules appear, these structures begin to crack.When bonus rules shift, a simple configuration will not fix it and so a full technical rework is needed. Te same happens when deposit limits move, since these thresholds touch several parts of the system that do not align cleanly. Even removing or restricting a single game type can create reporting gaps that surface later. Tese technical hiccups keep happening simply because many platforms were not built for rapidly

evolving regulatory demands. Operational risk rises and the chance of misalignment with regulators becomes very real. While they work to catch up, competitors with more adaptable systems move faster and step into the opportunities left behind.
FALLING BEHIND Compliance gaps turn into fines and repeated remediation work.
As teams rely on manual fixes to keep things moving, campaigns get delayed or cancelled, and eventually, competitors take your market share. Te old system simply cannot support the latest rules. In some cases, operators might even have to rethink their presence in certain markets despite strong demand.
Te barrier here is actually not the strategy but the legacy system beneath it. When the platform struggles to keep up, even the best plans lose momentum.
Agility comes from a platform that can adjust to new rules without slowing the business. Tis depends on a structure where core functionality is clean and jurisdiction specific controls sit in their own layer. Operators can update game availability, payment methods, compliance messaging, and localisation directly through CMS, so many regulatory changes become instant modification rather than having to develop something from scratch.
A built-in back office brings together everything operators need to stay aligned with local rules. For example, age checks, gameplay monitoring, user roles, rollback tools, and safety net controls, and audit logs all sit in one place, giving teams a clear view of what changed and when and how to react promptly.
