Transaction Monitoring

AML/CFT

The continuous surveillance of customer transactions and activity patterns to identify unusual or suspicious behavior that may indicate money laundering, terrorist financing, or other financial crimes. Effective transaction monitoring combines automated systems that flag transactions exceeding predefined thresholds or deviating from established patterns with human judgment from trained compliance staff and surveillance personnel. Casino transaction monitoring specifically focuses on cash transactions, chip movements, wire transfers, marker activity, and gaming patterns that may be inconsistent with a patron’s profile.

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.
