Earn 36 Accredited CPD Hours with the Certified Gaming Compliance Specialist (CGCS)
Professionals working in compliance, anti-money laundering, risk, audit, investigations, and regulatory oversight need continuing professional development that is relevant to the risks they manage in practice.
The Certified Gaming Compliance Specialist (CGCS) certification has now been independently accredited by The CPD Certification Service and provides 36 accredited CPD hours upon successful completion.
This recognition makes the CGCS a strong professional development option for individuals seeking structured compliance CPD while also building specialist knowledge of the casino, sportsbook, and iGaming sectors.
Accredited Compliance CPD for Gaming Professionals
The CGCS is designed specifically for professionals working within or alongside the gaming industry. Rather than approaching compliance as a collection of isolated regulatory requirements, the program examines how risk develops across the wider gaming ecosystem.
Learners explore the relationship between regulation, financial crime, game integrity, operational risk, investigations, technology, governance, and compliance assurance.
The award of 36 accredited CPD hours reflects the depth and scope of the learning experience and provides participants with formal recognition of their continuing professional development.
Who Is the CGCS For?
The CGCS is suitable for professionals working in areas including:
Gaming compliance
Anti-money laundering and financial crime
Casino and iGaming operations
Regulatory affairs
Internal audit
Fraud prevention
Investigations
Risk management
Responsible gaming
Security and surveillance
Legal and governance functions
It is also relevant for regulators, consultants, law enforcement professionals, financial institutions, payment providers, and other stakeholders whose work intersects with the gaming sector.
Build Specialist Compliance Knowledge
General compliance training can provide an important foundation, but gaming organizations operate within a highly specialized risk environment.
Casino and iGaming professionals must understand how compliance obligations interact with player behaviour, payment activity, wagering patterns, customer due diligence, fraud indicators, platform controls, regulatory expectations, and operational decision-making.
The CGCS helps learners develop a more connected understanding of these risks and how they should be identified, assessed, escalated, investigated, and managed.
More Than a CPD Requirement
Continuing professional development should do more than help professionals record learning hours.
Effective compliance CPD should strengthen professional judgment, improve decision-making, and help individuals apply regulatory expectations within real operational environments.
The CGCS is designed to support these outcomes by connecting technical knowledge with practical gaming-sector examples, emerging threats, and the expectations placed on modern compliance functions.
Participants completing the program can use the learning to support:
Career development
Annual CPD requirements
Professional competency records
Internal training plans
Regulatory and compliance capability building
Applications for gaming, AML, risk, audit, or investigative roles
Why Choose CPD-Accredited Compliance Training?
CPD accreditation provides independent recognition that a learning program has been reviewed against established continuing professional development standards.
For learners, this offers greater confidence that the training is structured, relevant, and capable of contributing meaningfully to professional development.
For employers, accredited CPD training can support workforce development, competency frameworks, succession planning, compliance culture, and evidence of ongoing employee education.
