FinCrime Central reports that the UK Gambling Commission is concerned about the gambling industry's AML compliance, highlighting failures in scrutinising customer data and verifying the source of funds. The rise of AI-generated fake documents and cryptocurrency use for illegal transactions are significant emerging threats. The Commission is piloting financial risk assessments and collaborating with UK banks to combat gambling-related financial harm.
