It\u2019s an ongoing thing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Open banking in gambling has already raised privacy concerns. Apiafi said GamScore keeps the process away from direct operator control and gives the customer one place to manage the data.\u00a0He said:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHere it keeps it separate and away from the operator. It means you have got a one-stop shop.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt will also be able to give you a P&#038;L across your betting accounts.
