What is an Audit Trail?

Definition: An audit trail, or audit log, is a time-stamped record of actions taken in a system: who did what, when and what changed.

What is logged in an iGaming back office:

Changes to player data, limits and verification status.
Manual balance adjustments and payout approvals.
Changes to game, market and risk settings.
User logins and permission changes.

A complete log entry shows:

User and role.
Date and time.
Action and affected record.
Value before and after the change.

Why it matters: audit trails support AML and fraud investigations, licence audits and dispute handling. Logs are protected from editing and kept for the retention period set by the licence.
