Online gaming was listed as a “special focus” in the 2024 National Money Laundering Risk Assessment. It’s not just an issue for the gaming companies, however. Since the vast majority of money coming into online gaming platforms comes from financial institutions, and nearly all the money leaving those platforms goes back to financial institutions, traditional financial institutions have a stake in understanding this industry as well. That’s why this session is designed for both the banking and the online gaming sector.

You will learn how to:

• Identify the existing AML risks unique to the online gaming industry as well as emerging risks

• Gain a better understanding of online gaming AML programs, KYC standards and data used to inform AML investigations

• Recognize red flags and typologies for money laundering and other financial crimes, both for gaming operators and the banks that gaming money passes through

• Effectively manage the complex third-party relationships that electronic gaming companies are part of
