The most common titles are Compliance Officer, AML Analyst, KYC Specialist and Regulatory Analyst. Responsible Gaming is its own track: these people spot signs of harmful play and decide when to step in, limit an account or contact the player.

At suppliers such as Sportradar and Playtech, compliance leans towards game and platform certification, multi-jurisdiction licensing and regulatory reporting. At operators like Betano and Entain the work is closer to players and their transactions.

Marketing compliance is growing too: specialists review ads, bonus terms and affiliate activity against each market's rules. It is a good entry point for people coming from marketing or law.

The core of the job is customer due diligence and transaction monitoring: source of funds, sanctions and PEP screening hits, unusual deposit and withdrawal patterns. Each alert ends with a decision to close it, request documents or file a suspicious activity report.

Good teams judge analysts on decision quality rather than case volume. Would the reasoning hold up in front of a regulator or auditor? Were risks missed, or were honest players blocked without reason?

Regulatory analysts work differently. They track legal changes in the company's markets, turn them into internal rules and prepare reports. Precision with documents and the ability to explain a requirement to product and marketing teams matter most here.

The baseline is a risk-based approach, KYC and EDD processes, and hands-on use of screening and case management tools. Knowing a specific regulator helps a lot: the MGA in Malta, the UKGC in Britain, or local authorities in Germany, Greece or Brazil.

ICA and ACAMS certificates are not mandatory, but they make a CV stand out, especially for candidates coming from banking or fintech. Analyst roles increasingly ask for SQL and solid Excel so you can pull transaction data yourself.

Bank AML experience transfers almost entirely, but the pace is faster: players deposit and withdraw often, and decisions are expected quickly. On your CV, show that you have handled high alert volumes and online payments.

Learn the industry specifics before interviews: bonus abuse, multi-accounting, links to payment providers and affiliates. You may be asked to walk through a suspicious player case, and interviewers listen for your reasoning more than textbook definitions.

Check whether the ad names the jurisdictions and licences the company holds. That tells you which regulator you will deal with. A clear scope and reporting line, for example directly to the MLRO or Head of Compliance, is a good sign.

Be wary of vague roles that mix compliance with customer support and content moderation, or companies that never mention a licence. Compliance teams often sit in Malta and the UK, though remote positions do appear.

In the interview, ask how alert workload is shared, which monitoring system the team uses and who reviews the rules. The answers quickly show whether the process is mature or still has to be built.
