By definition, the term “key function” means an important function, role or task carried out by a person in connection with a gaming service or a gaming supply, as may be prescribed by the Gaming Authorisations and Compliance Directive (Directive 3 of 2018).
Key Persons are required to have full knowledge, understanding and access to the applicant’s or licensee’s operations, as may be necessary for them to carry out their respective Key Function/s.
Applicants are required to be fit and proper in order to carry out their respective roles, not only at the time of their application for a Key Function Certificate, but also on an ongoing basis thereafter.
