The Swiss Federal Council has announced a comprehensive regulatory framework for iGaming operators, set to take effect in October 2025. The new regulations introduce enhanced player protection measures, stricter anti-money laundering protocols, and a streamlined licensing process for compliant operators. Notably, the framework includes provisions for international operators to enter the Swiss market through partnerships with licensed Swiss casinos.
The updated regulations respond to the rapid growth of online gambling in Switzerland since its legalization in 2019 and aim to balance market expansion with responsible gambling objectives. Key components include mandatory implementation of AI-driven problem gambling detection systems, increased transparency in game mechanics, and expanded reporting requirements for operators.
