Alina Daniela Bajan, Legal Director, and Rodica Tarcea, ESG, AML & GDPR Compliance Director at MAXBET
Casino Inside:
In an industry with a complex legislative framework, how do you build a compliance system that is both effective and practical?
Alina Daniela Bajan, Legal Manager:
Building a solid compliance system requires, first and foremost, a structured approach and a firm commitment from management, coupled with constant collaboration between all company structures. From a legal perspective, the first step is to identify and analyze compliance risks by referring to the applicable legislation and the specific nature of the activity carried out.
It is essential to know what the relevant legal obligations are, where vulnerabilities may arise, and how they can be prevented through clear and consistent measures.
Casino Inside:
How are these legal requirements translated into the company’s day-to-day activities?
Rodica Tarcea, ESG, AML & GDPR Compliance Manager:
We translate legal requirements into day-to-day operational practice through clear internal policies and procedures, carefully adapted to the realities of the gaming floor. We are talking about codes of conduct, AML/CFT policies, GDPR policies and whistleblowing mechanisms, but especially about operational procedures that specifically guide the work of employees.
These tools must be easy to understand and accessible so that every employee knows exactly what to do and what their compliance responsibilities are.
Casino Inside:
What is the role of the Legal Department at this stage of implementation?
Alina Daniela Bajan, Legal Director at MAXBET
Alina Daniela Bajan:
The Legal Department ensures the consistency and legal integrity of all internal documents and processes, as well as providing continuous support to operational structures. The Legal Department is not limited to interpreting regulations, but acts as a partner to the business, supporting the rapid adaptation of internal processes to legislative changes.
Through this approach, we prevent legal risks and contribute to the stability of operational activities.
Casino Inside:
To what extent does employee training contribute to the effective functioning of the compliance system?
Rodica Tarcea:
Training is an essential element. It is not enough to have well-written policies and procedures; they must be known and understood by employees. Max Bet runs regular training programs in the areas of AML/CFT, GDPR, and ESG, tailored to each operational level.
Through awareness campaigns and periodic knowledge assessments, we are building an organizational culture based on responsibility and compliance, from management to operational level.
Rodica Tarcea, ESG, AML & GDPR Compliance Director at MAXBET
Casino Inside:
How is this system monitored in practice and how are any breaches managed?
Alina Daniela Bajan:
Monitoring is carried out through internal controls, regular audits, and ongoing process evaluations. From a legal perspective, it is very important to have clear procedures in place for reporting and handling compliance breaches.
A quick and well-documented response can limit the impact of an incident and, at the same time, demonstrate the company’s commitment to regulators, partners, and gambling participants.
Casino Inside:
What is the role of technology in supporting compliance?
Rodica Tarcea:
Technology is an indispensable ally. We constantly invest in IT systems that enable activity monitoring, risk analysis, and personal data protection. These solutions contribute to streamlining AML and GDPR processes and reducing the risk of human error.
Casino Inside:
How is this integrated approach reflected in the company’s relationship with authorities and partners?
Alina Daniela Bajan:
An integrated legal-compliance approach creates predictability and trust. Our relationship with the authorities is transparent and based on dialogue and our partners appreciate the seriousness and consistency of an operator that treats compliance as a strategic pillar, not just a legal obligation.
Casino Inside:
What are Max Bet’s medium- and long-term development directions in the area of compliance?
Rodica Tarcea:
Max Bet will continue to invest in improving AML/CFT procedures, in the technological development of control systems, in the continuous training of employees and in strengthening collaboration with authorities and industry partners.
