casinos, GAMING and IGAMING

Those who conduct and manage Casinos in Canada, that is, those who operate games of roulette or card games; slot machines or similar electronic gaming devices, or a lottery scheme accessible to the public through the Internet or other digital network, are subject to Canada's AML rules. Historically, some casinos have been attractive to money launderers seeking the ability to enjoy their criminal spoils and status, as well as to launder the proceeds of crime. The sophisticated surveillance and risk management at casinos can be leveraged effectively to demonstrate control over money laundering risks.

Our AML advisors have worked with casinos across the country to develop and evaluate the effectivenss of AML programs at casinos, to the satisfaction of FINTRAC and other stakeholders.
