Lithuania Sends Draft Player Card and Central Platform Plan to the European Commission

Lithuania has submitted a draft that would introduce a mandatory player card and a single platform connecting all operators. For high-risk PSPs and operators, that is the kind of infrastructure change that can affect onboarding, player tracing, and how compliance data is collected across the market.

1. The proposal centers on a mandatory player card, which would be required under the draft submitted to the European Commission.
2. It also calls for a unified platform that all operators would have to connect to, creating a centralized layer rather than a fragmented operator-by-operator setup.
3. The source does not provide further technical details, timelines, or scope of implementation, so the immediate takeaway is the regulatory direction: more centralization, more standardized player identification, and less room for operators to run separate systems.
