“We have a very experienced and well-diversified risk and fraud team, that’s capable of identifying risk elements from an abuse and money laundering perspective. The risk team executes certain risk and AML reports to identify any risk of Money laundering, such as identifying the customers with little to no wagering.

Assessments are performed on those accounts, in order to identify and mitigate any potential money laundering activities that may present itself through the investigation.”
