Introduction
This document was developed in response to a European Commission standardisation request as regards
a European standard on reporting in support of supervision of online gambling services by the gambling
regulatory authorities of the Member States of 4 April 2018.
This document seeks to identify the data elements needed by Members States’ regulatory authorities for
online gambling supervision purposes. However, it recognizes that some Member States may need to add
data elements that are unique to, or required in, their regulation of online gambling. Further, in some
Member States, regulatory authorities may not be permitted to collect certain data, such as player
personal information. Therefore, some clauses in this standard may not be applicable to some Member
States. It is the responsibility of the operators and suppliers to ensure compliance with the requirements
of each Member State.
Additionally, the document seeks to provide regulatory authorities with access to data reports that will
support the achievement of their objectives of public policy, in particular consumer protection,
operational transparency, game fairness, and the detection and prevention of fraud and betting-related
match-fixing.
Given the divergent regulation of all forms of gambling and in the absence of harmonisation, the
document aims at minimising administrative burden for regulatory authorities, operators and suppliers
resulting from compliance with different regulatory reporting requirements through a voluntary
standard.
1 Scope
The development of (a) European standard(s) on reporting by online gambling service operators and
suppliers to the gambling regulatory authorities in the Member States for the purpose of supervision of
online gambling services standard (referred to within the specification as OGR or Online Gambling
Reporting).
It will provide a voluntary tool to the gambling regulatory authorities in the Member States, without
prejudice to the competence of Member States in the regulation of online gambling. It does not impose
any obligation on them to introduce or alter reporting requirements or to authorise or deny authorisation
to any operators or suppliers for example where the national gambling legislation imposes other rules.
Member States remain competent to define for which games reporting should take place. The scope of
reporting is in accordance with the applicable legislation in the Member State where the operator is
licensed and where services are offered to consumers.

The following abbreviated term is used within this document.
OGR Online Gambling Reporting a shortened version of the standard title Online Gambling: Reporting
in Support of Supervision
5 Clause title, e.g. Paragraphs and Lists
5.1 General
In alignment with the European Commission mandate, this document's specification uses XML as the
extensible mark-up language. The specification is developed using a set of rules and conventions that
apply throughout. For ease of implementation by all types of enterprises and regulatory authorities an
XSD is provided.
Within this document, many elements are identified as “optional”. Similarly, 0 (zero) instances of many
elements are allowed. This simply means that the specific elements are not required within reports for
the reports to be syntactically correct.
Regulators may require that operators report some or all these elements to meet the semantic
requirements of the jurisdiction. Operators should be sure to ask their local regulators which of these
elements are required within the regulator’s jurisdiction. Similarly, regulators may specify default values
for the optional elements – that is, the semantic meaning of the optional element if it is omitted.
As a convention any data element that does not have a value shall be or omitted from the
reporting.
5.2 Reporting Model
Two modes of reporting are supported by this standard: periodic reporting and near-real-time reporting.
 Periodic reporting is the primary mode of reporting within this standard. It may be the only mode
of reporting used in many jurisdictions. In this mode, gaming activity is summarized and reported
after the fact, typically on a daily and/or monthly basis. The information reported in this mode
includes game-play summaries, funds-in-play summaries, player account activity summaries, and
jackpot activity summaries.
 Near-real-time reporting is the secondary mode of reporting. It may be used when a greater level
of detail is required. In this mode, gaming activity is also reported after the fact, but at a much greater
level of detail and at a much greater frequency than with periodic reporting – for example, reporting
sports bets immediately after they have been placed. Near-real-time reports are designed to provide
the detail behind the periodic reports. The types of information reported in this mode include game-
play results, player account movements, and jackpot movements. Even though these reports are
referred to as near-real-time, the frequency can be much longer depending on the needs of the
jurisdiction – for example, sports bets can be reported hourly or daily if that is the preferred
frequency.
All reports are designed to be internally consistent with one another so that the reported data itself can
be audited and reconciled. Near-real-time reports can be reconciled against periodic reports. Different
periodic reports can be reconciled against one another. Ending balances can be reconciled against
opening balances.
Not all reports may be needed by a specific jurisdiction – for example, if a jurisdiction does not audit
player registration information, the jurisdiction might not need reports containing that information. OGR
is designed so that jurisdictions can select the modes, as well as the types of data, most appropriate to
their needs.
5.3 Data Transport Security
It is expected that standard computing data delivery security mechanisms, for example HTTPS, VPNs, and
standard encryption methodologies, for example TLS, PGP or AES, will be used for data in transit, that is
for the data files being transferred between Operator and Regulator systems. However, data at rest, i.e.
data stored within the Operator’s and Regulator’s systems and how it is protected, is outside the scope of
this document. To address data integrity, a standard mechanism, for example digital signatures, may be
used.
5.4 Model for Funds Movement
The primary funds movement model used in this document is similar to double-entry bookkeeping (see
Figure 1). For every debit, there is an offsetting credit. For example, if there is a debit (deduction) to a
player account for a wager, there is also an offsetting credit to the game for the wager. Player accounts,
games, and jackpots are viewed as bookkeeping accounts. Funds move from one account to another. The
total debits always equal the total credits. Within the specification, credits are represented as positive
values; debits are represented as negative values. Positive values increase the value of an account;
negative values decrease the value of an account.
The only exception to this rule is funds movements to/from external sources – for example, deposits to
player wallets or adjustments to jackpots. Within this document, there are no offsetting entries for those
types of funds movements. Thus, those types of funds movements cannot be reconciled against other
offsetting funds movements reported with this document. Instead, those types of funds movements must
be reconciled against external sources of information – for example, statements from banks or payments
processors.
Figure 1
This model is referred to as the Online Reporting Model within this document.
The sections of the specification that cover specific game categories – that is, fixed-odds betting, pari-
mutuel betting, poker cash games, poker tournaments, etc. – include information about the recommended
accounting models for the game categories. This information includes the list of transaction types (also
known as metrics or meters) used within the accounting model.
The sections of the specification related to player accounts and jackpots contain the recommended
accounting models for external funds movements to/from player accounts and jackpots. Funds
movements associated with game play are addressed in the pertinent sections related to specific game
categories; external funds movements, which are not associated with game play, are addressed in the
sections related to player accounts and jackpots.
5.5 Periodic and Near-Real-Time Reports
The following table provides a summary of the primary periodic and near-real-time (NRT) reports
supported by the standard. The data structures for the reports, as well as the near real-time transactions
that support them, are fully described in the pertinent sections of the specification. Other secondary
reports may also be described in those sections.
A common set of headers is used with all reports defined within the specification. The headers act as the
outer wrapper for the reports. They identify the contents of the reports. The headers are fully described
in the section of the specification on constructing reports.
Some reports can be sent as near-real-time reports or as periodic reports – for example, Player
Registration reports can be sent in near-real-time as players are being registered or on a periodic basis
to report all players with changes to their registration information for the period or to report all players
who were active during the period. The descriptions of the individual reports (see Table 1)indicate
whether a report can be sent in near-real-time, periodically, or both. The exact requirements will be
determined by the jurisdictions requiring the reports.
