EU regulation brings gambling operators under unified AML rules

Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 brings gambling operators across the EU under a unified set of anti-money-laundering rules, according to European Gaming. The measure is identified by its official number, 2024/1624, and is reported at the EU level. European Gaming presents this as a new, single AML framework applying to gambling operators within the Union.

The regulation also gives 'gambling services' their first legal definition at the EU level, the excerpt says. The same excerpt referenced licensing decisions in connection with the measure. European Gaming is cited as the source for these details, which establish a new legal reference point for how gambling activity is named within EU AML legislation.
