Compliance
Anti-money laundering
The controls a licensed operator runs to detect and prevent the movement of criminal funds: screening against sanctions and watch lists, monitoring for unusual patterns, and reporting suspicion to the relevant authority. It continues for the life of the account.

What it means for an operator
The common failure is treating AML as a signup event. Lists change, players change, and an account that was clean in January is not automatically clean in June.
On this platform screening runs automatically after a player is approved rather than only before it, and the result feeds the compliance tier that gates money movement. The judgement calls stay with you: what to escalate, what to report, and what to do about a match.
