GREF launches anti-money laundering working group

The Gambling Regulators European Forum board has established a new working group to “enhance the exchange of information among its members on the Anti-Money Laundering matters.”

The group will be co-chaired by Rachel Bezzina, the AML manager for Malta’s Gaming Authority, and Christophe Vidal from the French National Gambling Authority.

It is the fifth working group established by GREF, joining Responsible Gaming, Digital & Innovation, InfoStat and Enforcement working groups.

“Although AML regulations exist at European Union level, implementation at the local level varies across jurisdictions,” explained the MGA. “The new AML working group seeks to facilitate the exchange of information between members in order to prevent the exploitation of gaming businesses for money laundering and terrorist financing purposes.”
