Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT)

AML/CFT

The set of regulatory measures and procedures implemented by casinos and other financial institutions to detect, prevent, and report financial transactions that may be related to terrorist activities. CFT and AML are closely intertwined and are typically addressed together in casino compliance programs. CFT measures include sanctions screening against terrorist watchlists, monitoring wire transfers to high-risk jurisdictions, and reporting transactions that have no apparent lawful purpose or economic rationale.
