5. Draft Law No XIVP-3843(2) amending Law No IX-325 of the Republic of Lithuania on Gaming

6. Requirements for a remote gaming platform, certification of the platform

7.

8. “A gaming organiser who organises remote gaming shall be obliged to set up the platform at its own expense.” “Every gaming device, remote gaming device and platform shall comply with the requirements laid down and approved by this Law and the Control Authority.” " Each gaming device and remote gaming device and platform shall have a certificate issued by accredited bodies attesting that the gaming devices comply with the requirements laid down in this Law and by the Control Authority.”

Keywords: remote gaming, platform, certificate.

9. Problematic gaming is an addiction which has significant financial and social consequences not only for the person who is dependent on gaming but also for their relatives, family or wider society. A person who has problems with gaming and is incapable of exercising control over his activities during the game of chance may game without stopping for an indefinite period and lose particularly large sums of money.
The project is designed to increase the protection of those involved in gaming from the negative effects of advertising, especially for the most vulnerable groups in society, as well as from irresponsible involvement in gaming and excessive spending on gaming. In this context, the draft sets out measures to achieve these objectives, namely the requirements for the responsible organisation of gaming. The requirements for responsible gaming include monitoring of the time spent by the person taking part in gaming, the amounts spent, and other behavioural characteristics indicating problematic participation in gaming. In order to ensure compliance with those provisions, gaming companies are required to set up a remote gaming platform which ensures the central identification and registration of all players involved in remote gaming, the recording of players’ activities in gaming, as well as of bets and winnings made. In order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data contained in the remote gaming accounting systems operated by companies, and to prevent possible manipulation or misinterpretation of data by both gaming operators and players, technical and certification requirements are laid down for these systems. By ensuring the integration of data from the LAKIS information system operated by the platform and the gaming service, the Gaming Control Authority will be able to monitor and assess, while carrying out its functions of preventing problematic gaming, the compliance of gaming operators with their responsibilities for ensuring responsible gaming, as well as with the anti-money laundering requirements.
