EU sets common anti-money laundering requirements for gambling businesses from July 2027
By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
The EU's Anti-Money Laundering Regulation will apply directly across the bloc from 10 July 2027, reported by iGaming Today. Covered gambling businesses must verify customers and monitor money-laundering risks, with customer checks relevant to transactions totalling €2,000 or more, including linked transactions. National gambling licensing systems remain separate, and national authorities can impose stricter measures.
Why it matters
Operators face a shared anti-money laundering baseline while retaining separate national licensing obligations and potentially stricter local requirements.
