What is the answer to combatting financial crime and social responsibility risk?

The answer according to AML Global Solutions (AMLGS) is you; every single individual within a gambling operator’s organisation. It is pivotal that everyone in gaming businesses understands exactly how important they are in combatting not just financial crime but crime as a whole. In light of recent enforcement action it is even more important that every individual in a business understands the direct link between financial crime and problem gambling.

“It isn’t just AML that is going wrong, social responsibility lapses are becoming more common within the industry. It is not just about preventing financial crime, it is about protecting your customers, protecting the public and helping customers understand how to protect themselves.”

AMLGS delivers Anti-Money laundering, financial crime compliance and social responsibility services to the industry with an unmatched passion and knowledge that helps operators better understand their risks and how to manage them.

What make AMLGS so different from other companies is firstly that they only deliver face to face training, so there are no online courses where staff can lose on learning outcomes. Uniquely a number of AMLGS consultants have actually worked in covert roles for law enforcement agencies, portraying money launderers and other high level criminals. So they deliver training from not only a legal and regulatory perspective, but also from the mind of a criminal. This means that they are exclusively placed to make it easier for firms to meet all their legal requirements and so much more.

The Director of AMLGS said, “both online and land-based operators are still playing catch-up with the law and regulations they are required to comply with. 9 out of 10 staff working in the industry have only completed an online training course or have been trained by a senior manager who has also only had an online training qualification, this simply isn’t good enough. We want to help operators carry out the roles with confidence and to the highest of standards”.

On the 11th July AMLGS and The UK Gambling Commission will be hosting a workshop for Compliance Staff with the remote gaming industry. To find out more about the workshop:
