Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

AML/CFT

The broad framework of laws, regulations, policies, and procedures designed to detect, prevent, and report money laundering activities. For casinos, AML encompasses customer identification, transaction monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, recordkeeping, and staff training. The casino industry is internationally recognized as inherently high-risk for money laundering due to its cash-intensive nature, high-volume transactions, and complex financial services including chips, markers, front money accounts, and wire transfers.

One entry from the Casino Industry Glossary — 1,157 terms written for surveillance, compliance and operations professionals rather than for players. Definitions describe industry usage; where a term carries a regulatory meaning, verify against the instrument that governs your jurisdiction.
