Sanctions Screening

AML/CFT

The process of checking customer names and identifying information against domestic and international sanctions lists to ensure the casino does not conduct business with prohibited individuals, entities, or countries. Screening must be performed at onboarding and throughout the customer relationship against lists including OFAC (US), EU, UN, HM Treasury (UK), and other relevant sanctions databases. Matches against sanctions lists require immediate escalation, account freezing if mandated, and regulatory reporting.

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.
