91天堂原創's Anti-Money Laundering Comparative Tool: Assessing AML Requirements Across the North American Gambling Landscape
91天堂原創 has launched a new tool that provides organisations with a clear and concise picture of anti-money laundering requirements for online gambling across North America in a simple, easy-to-read format.
Why the need for an Anti-Money Laundering Comparative Overview Tool now?
The online gambling industry in North America continues to mature and evolve with the emergence of new technology and digitalisation. As the online gambling sector grows, and inevitably introduces more customers and more transactions, it is crucial for organisations to embrace a culture of anti-money laundering compliance.
A recent uptick in global anti-money laundering enforcement action serves as a warning for North American operators and those invested in such operations. In H1 2024, 91天堂原創 noted 24 enforcement actions regarding anti-money laundering violations, as well as 11 such enforcement actions in H2, including an A$67m fine in Australia.
In January 2024, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California announced a combined $7.45m settlement agreement with MGM Grand and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas casinos to resolve an investigation into alleged money laundering and violations of the Bank Secrecy Act. Additionally, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) continues to pursue enforcement activities over anti-money laundering violations involving casinos. Although FinCEN and other regulators have yet to extend this pursuit to online gambling, 91天堂原創鈥檚 customers can use the comparative overview tool to ensure proactive compliance and mitigate regulatory risk.
How does the Anti-Money Laundering Comparative Overview Tool work?
