Licensing & Compliance

Aussie Play Casino operates under a Gaming Licence issued by The Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros, in accordance with Government Notice No. 007 of 2005 – The Betting and Gaming Act 2005.

We are committed to maintaining the highest security standards to prevent financial crime and ensure compliance with international Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations.

Objective of the AML Policy

The primary goal of our AML policy is to:

  • Verify user identity and ensure all registered details are accurate.
  • Prevent financial fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities.
  • Ensure deposits and withdrawals are conducted safely and legitimately.
  • Implement strict monitoring systems for high-risk transactions.

Aussie Play Casino complies with:

  • EU Directive 2015/849 on preventing the use of the financial system for money laundering.
  • EU Regulation 2015/847 on information accompanying transfers of funds.
  • Belgian Law of 18 September 2017 on money laundering prevention.
  • Various international regulations restricting financial transactions with sanctioned entities.

What is Money Laundering?

Money laundering refers to any activity that disguises the illegal origin of funds. This includes:

  • Converting or transferring funds obtained through criminal activities.
  • Concealing or disguising the ownership or movement of illegally acquired funds.
  • Using, acquiring, or possessing funds known to have come from criminal activity.
  • Assisting others in laundering money or evading legal consequences.

Money laundering is illegal, and Aussie Play Casino enforces strict measures to prevent such activities.

AML Compliance & Verification Process

Three-Step User Verification

Aussie Play Casino implements a three-step identity verification process to ensure compliance with AML regulations.

Step 1 – Basic Verification (Mandatory for All Users)

All users must complete a basic identity verification before making withdrawals.

Users must provide:

  • Full name
  • Date of birth
  • Country of residence
  • Gender
  • Full address

Step 2 – Enhanced Verification (Deposits/Withdrawals Over $2,000)

If a user deposits or withdraws over $2,000, additional verification is required.

Users must submit:

  • A photo of their government-issued ID.
  • A selfie holding their ID and a six-digit verification code.
  • Proof of residence (bank statement, utility bill, etc.).
    An electronic check is conducted to verify the provided details.

Step 3 – Source of Wealth Verification (Deposits/Withdrawals Over $5,000)

If a user deposits or withdraws over $5,000, they must provide proof of their source of wealth (SOW).

Examples of accepted SOW documents include:

  • Business ownership documents
  • Employment payslips
  • Inheritance records
  • Investment statements

Failure to provide these documents will result in account restrictions.

Risk-Based Approach

To ensure enhanced security, Aussie Play Casino categorises users based on risk levels:

Low-Risk Regions

Standard three-step verification applies.

Medium-Risk Regions

  • Stricter verification thresholds apply, with lower deposit/withdrawal limits.
  • Step 2 verification required at $1,000 (instead of $2,000).
  • Step 3 verification required at $2,500 (instead of $5,000).
  • Users converting cryptocurrency into fiat currency are treated as medium risk.

High-Risk Regions

  1. Users from high-risk regions are banned from using our services.
  2. The list of high-risk countries is regularly updated to ensure compliance.

Ongoing Transaction Monitoring

We conduct continuous monitoring of financial transactions to detect suspicious activities.

First Line of Control:

  • Aussie Play Casino only works with trusted payment providers that comply with AML laws.

Second Line of Control:

  • Any unusual user behaviour triggers automated alerts for manual review.
  • Transactions are flagged if they involve large sums, multiple currency changes, or suspicious deposit/withdrawal patterns.

Third Line of Control:

  • Manual checks are conducted by the AML Compliance Team for high-risk users.
  • If fraud or money laundering is detected, the authorities will be notified immediately.

Users must withdraw funds using the same payment method they used for deposits. This prevents money laundering attempts through different financial accounts.

Record Keeping & Data Security

  • All user verification data and transaction records are securely stored for at least 10 years.
  • All sensitive information is encrypted and stored offline & online to ensure maximum security.
  • Aussie Play Casino strictly follows international data protection laws (Directive 95/46/EC).

Reporting Suspicious Transactions

Any staff member who detects unusual activity is required to report it to the AML Compliance Officer immediately.

Suspicious transactions include:

  • Large or frequent deposits and withdrawals without gameplay activity.
  • Multiple bank accounts or payment methods linked to one user.
  • Drastic changes in nationality, currency, or betting behaviour.
  • Transfers between user accounts (which are strictly prohibited).

The AML team may report such transactions to Financial Intelligence Units (FIU) if necessary.

Staff Training & Compliance

  • Mandatory AML training is provided to all employees handling financial transactions.
  • Regular audits ensure compliance with AML laws and internal policies.
  • AI-powered fraud detection systems assist our AML team in identifying suspicious activity.
