For regulators
For regulators and enforcement teams
How does regulatory intelligence support a regulator's enforcement work?
It turns an estimate into a list. A regulator usually knows its market is leaking; it rarely knows which sites, run by whom, reaching how many people. A Helios engagement delivers that list for one jurisdiction and one period, every entry verified against the register, confirmed by an analyst and carrying evidence captured at the time of observation, so blocking, payment and referral actions can be prepared from the report itself.
Built for the evidentiary standard
Nothing is inferred and nothing is guessed. Every finding carries the channel it came from, the evidence behind it and the analyst who confirmed it. Captures are fingerprinted and independently timestamped at the moment they are made, and the record of every later touch is append-only. The report is written to survive the question every enforcement action eventually meets: prove it looked like that when you saw it.
What you receive
- A report scoped to your jurisdiction and period, with unapproved and confirmed illegal findings recorded as distinct categories
- Operators, not just domains: the groups behind the sites and the domains each one runs
- Findings ordered by estimated audience so the largest operations come first
- Captured evidence and timestamps for every entry, ready for proceedings
- The complete engagement history with a traceable evidence trail
Engagement shape
Engagements are on demand and scoped: one jurisdiction, one practice, one period, one deliverable. Many regulators commission a first engagement to size the problem, then a recurring one to track it. Both are the same method; the recurring one adds the history that shows what changed.
Frequently asked questions
- What does Helios detect?
- Unlicensed gambling operators and unapproved streaming sites targeting a specified jurisdiction, found from publicly available information and confirmed by an analyst.
- Does Helios automatically declare a site illegal?
- No. The method distinguishes unapproved from confirmed illegal, and every finding is reviewed by a human analyst. The determination remains the regulator's.
- Which jurisdictions does Helios cover?
- Any jurisdiction with a public register of licensees or an approved list. Helios has run discovery across 28 European markets for the Euromat study and runs jurisdiction engagements on demand.
