The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) imposed more than £5m in fines for money laundering related offences in 2020. These fines show how anti-money laundering (AML) has become one of the most pressing regulatory areas for gambling firms in Malta and all major jurisdictions. Failure to comply with AML regulations could result in irreparable damage.
Under the Prevention of Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism Regulations (PMLFTR) 2008, organisations are required to regularly train employees in understanding how transactions may be related to the proceeds of criminal activity and how the person carrying out the transaction may be engaged in money laundering or the funding of terrorism.
