A bill to fight against money laundering in U.S. casinos

05/05/14

Etats-Unis

To fight against money laundering the Treasury Department of the United States wants online casinos to provide some more information about the accounts of their high rollers.
Because of this, an amendment of the law may soon be put in place.
At the moment casinos are already required to report certain foreign exchange transactions and suspicious activity.
However, they are not as supervised as banks and other financial institutions.
The Treasury Department therefore proposes establishing a measure that would require casinos to disclose additional information about their clients, in order to monitor high risk transactions, such as large cash deposits.
At the moment the regulations already require that transactions over $10,000 have to be reported to the Treasury Department.
This department now wants additional information to be included in the report, in order to identify the individuals responsible for the transactions in question.
Obtaining this additional information poses a significant increase in cost to the casino.
It could also stop some people from playing at the casinos in the first place.
