Why Gambling Platforms Require Sanctions Screening
Why Gambling Platforms Require Sanctions Screening
Why Gambling Platforms Require Sanctions Screening
Gambling and betting operators handle cross-border transactions, third-party affiliates, and digital payment channels, all of which expose them to heightened sanctions and compliance risk. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recognises gambling as a high-risk sector due to potential misuse for money laundering and terrorist financing. Guidance from the FATF on vulnerabilities in the gaming sector highlights the importance of robust screening controls and consistent monitoring. By deploying comprehensive sanctions screening, operators can align with frameworks from the UK Gambling Commission, FATF, and EU AML directives to strengthen compliance and audit readiness.
