ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The dual-location requirement—covering both operator and customers—means that serving any customer in a jurisdiction where such activities are unlawful would take the activity outside the permitted scope.

Interpretive note: The excerpt appears to be a fragment of a larger clause; a condition or approval requirement referenced in the clause name ('Prior Approval') is not present in the quoted text. The canonical claim is based solely on the language provided.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Checkout.com will only support gambling or gaming activities if every participant, including the operator and all customers, is located in a jurisdiction where the activity is legally permitted.
