Innovation comes in many areas, and compliance professionals need to not only be ready for it but also embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode, host Tom visits with Mouhcine Jalili, VP of Growth – iGaming at Software Mind, on reframing iGaming compliance as a design, delivery, and platform challenge rather than an end-stage legal checklist.

Mouhcine argues compliance failures often stem from siloed teams, fragmented legacy platforms, inconsistent vendor integrations (B2B2C), and release management across jurisdictions with differing rules (e.g., spin time, buy-bonus features). He emphasizes strong release governance, modular and configurable architectures, automated controls that cannot be bypassed, and real-time monitoring and alerts to prevent harm, including responsible gambling interventions based on early behavioral signals. Scaling successfully requires standardization and automation while allowing local configuration and avoiding post-acquisition data fragmentation. Over the next 3–5 years, he expects operational compliance to become more engineering- and data-driven, with tighter integration among compliance, product, and engineering teams.
