GLOSSARY TERM
AML (Anti-Money Laundering)
Gambling is a designated AML sector nearly everywhere: operators must run risk-based customer due diligence, monitor transactions for laundering patterns, file suspicious-activity reports and keep auditable records.
Where affiliates touch it
Indirectly but really: affiliate payout flows themselves are AML-relevant (hence KYB on partners), and traffic quality intersects laundering risk — stolen-card deposit rings recruited through certain traffic types generate both fraud losses and AML reporting duties. The largest UKGC fines in history are AML-and-social-responsibility cases, which is why compliance teams outrank marketing in every mature operator’s org chart.
