Danish regulator reprimands Royal Scandinavian Casino Arhus

The Danish Gambling Authority has given Royal Scandinavian Casino Århus six orders for breaching anti-money laundering regulations.

The orders are for failings including making insufficient identification of customer types, including foreign PEPs and PEPs in international organisations and their family members and close associates.

Spillemyndigheden adds that Royal Scandinavian Casino Århus does not have sufficient written business procedures and has not complied with its own business procedures for the performance of internal controls for customer due diligence measures.

“The Danish Gambling Authority notes that the rules on risk assessment, business procedures, training material and customer due diligence measures are fundamental parts of the Anti-Money Laundering Act,” the regulator said.

“As a rule, breaches of the rules lead to an order or a reprimand or in serious or repeated cases, they are reported to the police.”

Spillemyndigheden has given Royal Scandinavian Casino Århus three months to correct the concerns identified and has ordered it to submit an updated risk assessment, updated business procedures, controls and training materials.
