Assista: privacidade de dados no iGaming e os desafios da IA em debate
Tags:
In the latest episode of titled ¡®Decoding Gaming Law,¡¯? Dr Franklin Cachia engages Serafino Vaccino, AI Legal Lead and Group Data Protection Officer at EveryMatrix, to dissect critical intersections of data privacy regulations and artificial intelligence within the online gambling sector. Vaccino, a seasoned technology lawyer with certifications in data protection (CIPP/E) and AI governance, offers actionable insights for operators and developers navigating the evolving compliance landscape.
GDPR¡¯s impact on game development
Vaccino emphasises that GDPR compliance must be foundational, not retrospective, for iGaming developers. Privacy by design and data minimisation are non-negotiable principles: developers should only collect essential player data (e.g., financial or KYC details) and rigorously validate sources. Ingesting irrelevant or poorly sourced data risks non compliance and operational inefficiencies.
The regulation¡¯s extraterritorial reach remains a key concern. Vaccino underscores that developers outside the EU must prioritise GDPR compliance when targeting European players, irrespective of their physical location. This requires embedding features supporting data subject rights, including erasure and access requests, from the outset. The expansive definition of personal data, covering IP addresses, transaction histories, and behavioural patterns, demands thorough risk evaluations during development.
AI integration and breach mitigation
Regarding AI integration and breach mitigation, Vaccino highlights that while AI democratisation enhances tools like fraud detection and traffic analysis, the opacity of algorithms complicates transparency.
Vaccino notes: ¡°When AI classifies players as fraud risks, businesses often can¡¯t explain the logic, creating mistrust.¡± Under the upcoming EU AI Act, operators must disclose AI usage to users and secure explicit consent for automated processing.
Data breaches, particularly DDoS attacks, are surging across iGaming. Vaccino categorises these as:
- Confidentiality breaches: Unauthorised data access.
- Integrity breaches: Unauthorised data alteration.
- Availability breaches: Service disruption (e.g., server overloads).
- User education is critical: reusing passwords or weak credentials remains a primary vulnerability. AI can bolster defences by analysing traffic patterns in real time and predicting threats, but its accessibility also empowers malicious actors to launch phishing campaigns at scale.
Operators must prioritise feature flagging¡ªenabling/disabling functionalities per jurisdictional rules without code redeployment and establish cross departmental risk frameworks. Vaccino advises: ¡°Not all data is good data. Focus on accuracy, not volume.¡±
