Harmonisation or Hindrance? Addressing Advancements in AML Obligations

20 Jan 2025
CC5.1
World Regulatory Briefing

With the upcoming launch of the European Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) and the introduction of a unified AML rulebook, Europe’s gambling operators and suppliers face a possibly transformative shift, and just as Malta, Gibraltar and the Balkans move out of FATF’s crosshairs, Cambodia and other Asian markets move in. This panel will delve into AMLA’s harmonised approach, provide an update on wider developments in the US and APAC, and will address key unanswered questions around reporting, standardised customer due diligence and regulatory oversight.

• Evaluating AML and CFT developments, will AMLA provide a road map for others or add bureaucracy?
• Identifying the impact of expanding global sanction regimes and the gambling hotspots impacted.
• Understanding the market risk expertise needed inhouse to navigate new rules.
