Aligning AWS security capabilities with standards and security frameworks for the Betting and Gaming industry – Part 2

This article explains how AWS security capabilities support betting and gaming industry compliance with GLI standards, focusing on gaming-specific controls and resilience requirements.

• Geolocation verification requires working with licensed vendors and regulators; AWS Outposts, API Gateway, and Control Tower provide infrastructure support
• Random number generation must use certified gaming suppliers; AWS KMS and CloudHSM offer general-purpose cryptographic services
• Responsible gaming and anti-fraud systems leverage AWS Kinesis, SageMaker, DynamoDB, EventBridge, Fraud Detector, and Neptune for analytics and monitoring
• Change management uses CodePipeline approval gates, CloudFormation for auditable infrastructure, and KMS signatures for code verification
• Disaster recovery employs RDS Multi-AZ, Aurora, AWS DRS, S3 Cross-Region Replication, and Backup for business continuity
• Recommended starting point includes SIP assessment, foundational controls deployment, jurisdiction-specific compliance work, and continuous monitoring

AWS provides general-purpose infrastructure components; customers remain solely responsible for regulatory compliance, certification, and meeting gaming-specific requirements.
