Politica AML
Come Europa777 previene il riciclaggio e il finanziamento del terrorismo.
Purpose and scope
This AML and KYC Policy outlines the measures and controls implemented by Europa777 to prevent and detect money laundering (ML), terrorist financing (TF), and other financial crimes. It applies to all players, staff, agents, and third-party service providers engaged with our online casino operations.
The policy aligns with:
- Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations
- EU 5th/6th AML Directives (where applicable)
- Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Acts in our operating jurisdictions
Objectives
- Verify the identity of all customers (players) before establishing a business relationship.
- Monitor customer transactions to detect and report suspicious activity.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date customer information and transaction records.
- Train staff to recognize and handle suspicious activities appropriately.
- Cooperate with regulatory and law enforcement authorities as required.
Risk assessment and categorization
All players are risk-rated (low, medium, high) based on:
- Geographic location
- Volume and frequency of transactions
- Payment methods used
- Behavior patterns (e.g. multiple accounts, rapid deposits/withdrawals)
High-risk players are subject to increased monitoring and additional verification requirements.
Ongoing monitoring
- Automated systems review deposits, withdrawals, and betting patterns
- Unusual behaviors (e.g. rapid turnover, minimal gameplay, large deposits with immediate withdrawals) are flagged for manual review
- Any account suspected of involvement in ML/TF is suspended pending investigation
Reporting suspicious activity
- Staff must immediately report suspicious transactions or behaviors to the Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO)
- The MLRO will file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the relevant Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) as required by law
- The player will not be notified that a report has been filed (tipping off is prohibited)
Record keeping
- All KYC documents and transaction records are retained securely for a minimum of 5 years after the end of the player relationship
- Access to these records is restricted to authorized compliance personnel
Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) & sanctions
- Players are screened against PEP and sanctions lists during onboarding and periodically thereafter
- PEPs require senior management approval and EDD
- No business will be conducted with persons or entities on international sanctions lists (OFAC, EU, UN, etc.)
Training and awareness
- All customer-facing, financial, and compliance staff receive initial and annual AML/KYC training
- Training includes recognizing suspicious behavior, reporting procedures, and legal obligations
Internal controls and auditing
- The MLRO is responsible for implementing and enforcing this policy
- Internal audits are conducted annually to assess the effectiveness of AML/KYC controls
- This policy is reviewed at least once per year and updated as required by law
Disciplinary measures
- Any employee who fails to comply with this policy may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination
- Breaches may also result in regulatory penalties or criminal prosecution
