KSA documents describe digital investigations of illegal online casinos

Enforcement & compliance

The KSA uses open-source intelligence to identify illegal online casinos, map provider and affiliate networks, and monitor advertising, according to documents released after a disclosure request. The request covered February 2021 to October 2025; the KSA withheld or redacted much of the material, citing the risk that disclosure could help illegal operators evade enforcement.

The documents show operators that the KSA monitors illegal sites and advertising using digital tools and external specialists.
