BetComply Strengthens Its Regulatory Compliance Capabilities

The arrival of Tiago Scoda Botelho responds to the growing demand for regulatory and licensing support in segmented gaming markets. Scoda, with a legal background, previously held leadership positions in compliance at bet365 and 3 Oaks Gaming. At BetComply, he will be responsible for assisting clients with licensing, regulatory compliance, and ongoing operational requirements across various jurisdictions.

“BetComply has built an excellent reputation for its practical support in compliance. I look forward to helping clients navigate increasingly complex regulatory requirements,” stated Scoda.

In his role, Scoda will manage everything from the application process to the follow-up of regulatory obligations, adapting to the nuances of each market.

Specialization in Anti-Money Laundering and Responsible Gaming

Micallef will support clients in risk diagnostics, development of mitigation protocols, and training of internal teams, ensuring alignment with regulatory expectations.

Technical Compliance: Experience in International Environments

Tina Singh joins as Technical Compliance Consultant, bringing 17 years of experience in international environments and regulated markets, both in land-based gaming and iGaming. Her addition strengthens BetComply's ability to address complex technical requirements, such as certifications, system audits, and multi-platform regulatory compliance.

Singh will assist operators in implementing technical solutions and managing audits, collaborating on integration with platforms and certification labs required by regulators.

Implications for Operators and Regulated Markets

The expansion of the team responds to the increasingly demanding regulatory environment within the gaming sector, where comprehensive compliance in licensing, AML, and technology is critical for both established operators and new entrants. According to Loes Wetzer, Chief Operating Officer at BetComply, “Tiago, Renald, and Tina bring significant experience to the team. Their appointments allow us to continue providing informed and practical support as regulatory demands evolve.”

The trend towards complex regulations compels service providers to offer multidisciplinary solutions and personalized advice. The cumulative experience of the team reinforces BetComply's position as a strategic ally for compliant expansion and operation in multiple markets.

The Value of Specialized Compliance Consulting

In the context of increasingly sophisticated regulations as seen in European and Latin American jurisdictions, the demand for consultants with expertise in licensing, AML, and technical compliance continues to rise.
