In today’s business environment, the importance of having effective anti-money laundering (AML) controls cannot be over-stated.
Serious gaming companies know that they must ensure that they have appropriate AML policies and procedures in place, and that their operational teams are effectively implementing them. The failure to do so can have a devastating effect on a company’s fortunes.
If correctly applied, it is critically important. Without it, a gaming business cannot grow into a sustainable and socially responsible enterprise.
Compliance isn’t limited to anti-money laundering and funding of terrorism but extends to several other areas including data protection, responsible gaming, and consumer protection.
Non-compliance has serious consequences: gaming regulators have issued six and even seven figure fines. Then there is the often irreparable damage to the company’s reputation and brand name to consider.
The solution is to have a team in place that consistently seeks effective, practical and appropriate measures to address these risks in a manner that allows the company to do business safely.
