DGOJ crackdown on credit and crypto services in Israel and Belgium

The Direction Générale des Opérations de Jeux (DGOJ) announced enforcement actions against credit‑provider and cryptocurrency service operators in Israel and Belgium. The regulator cited violations of anti‑money‑laundering and KYC rules, warning of penalties ranging from €600 per incident up to €50 million for serious breaches. Companies failing to comply may also face bans on operations for up to three years.

DGOJ highlighted the use of phishing‑alert tools and the need for traceable payments under DSP2 standards, urging firms to secure consumer protections and prevent illicit financing. The measures target both traditional credit services and emerging crypto‑payment platforms, emphasizing stricter oversight across the financial sector.
