AML (Anti-Money Laundering)

AML stands for Anti-Money Laundering and refers to the legal framework that requires financial institutions, including online casinos, to prevent their platforms from being used to clean dirty money. If you've ever wondered why a casino asks for your source of funds or questions a large deposit, AML regulations are the reason.

Licensed casinos in jurisdictions like Malta, the UK, and Gibraltar must follow strict AML procedures. These include verifying customer identities (KYC), monitoring transaction patterns, reporting suspicious activity, and sometimes asking players to prove the legitimate source of their deposits. Getting asked for a payslip or bank statement showing where your money came from isn't personal. It's a legal obligation.

For most players, AML requirements are invisible. You deposit, play, and withdraw without issues. They only become noticeable when transactions are unusually large, frequent, or follow patterns that the casino's automated systems flag. If a casino asks for source-of-funds documentation, cooperate. Legitimate casinos aren't trying to steal your money. They're trying to keep their licence.
