  • SESSION DESCRIPTION
    How to Make Your Casino Launderproof
    A lot of conferences and seminars cover the topic of money laundering by talking about AML compliance and business reporting obligations. In this presentation we fly our helicopter onto the casino floor and show you the “Top 5” methods used by criminals to launder money in casinos and then ascend to discuss current practices in casinos, our weaknesses and how we can make our casinos launderproof. Topics covered in this session include:
  • Are current casino practices and internal controls adequate?
  • Best practices for prevention/deterrence of money laundering in a casino
  • Know your customer (KYC). Anonymity is a criminal’s best weapon.
  • Going cashless: no money, no problems?
