‘There is an important opportunity to strengthen the Isle of Man’s defences against financial crime and I am embarking on an ambitious programme of reform to reinforce the powers we have to supervise and regulate the gambling sector. I am also working closely with partner agencies to understand the emerging threat that faces the Island’s gambling sector.’

‘It is imperative that we continue to review and adapt our approach to stay aligned with evolving challenges, including the emerging risks and typologies arising from particular markets. I shall be examining those threats closely to ensure that we are alert to them and manage the risk.’

‘I will also be further expanding our international cooperation and domestic inter-agency working and the GSC will continue to play its part in the network of authorities that detect and disrupt criminal activity in the Island. It is vital that we maintain alignment with the international standards’ requirements for combatting financial crime as they continue to be evolve.’

‘Over the last 25 years the Island has built a global reputation as a high-quality regulatory regime for eGaming and we have seen the sector grow and diversify. I am keen that we support responsible growth in this important sector by licensing quality operators who share our values of safety and fairness.’
