Compliance
Source of wealth
Evidence of how a player accumulated their overall wealth, rather than where one deposit came from. It is a broader and more intrusive request than source of funds, and it is usually reserved for high value players or for cases where a risk signal has been raised.

What it means for an operator
Operators confuse the two terms constantly, and regulators do not. Source of funds explains one payment. Source of wealth explains a lifetime, and satisfying it usually needs professional documentation rather than a bank statement.
The practical control is a threshold that triggers the request before the exposure gets large, plus an audit record showing when it was asked and what came back. Scalara records both on the player and in the audit trail.
