Danish Gambling Authority finds AML failings at Mr Green

888’s Mr Green brand is the latest licensee to fall foul of Denmark’s anti-money laundering legislation.

The online gaming operator has received three orders and a reprimand from the Danish gambling regulator for failing to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Act.

The orders relate to Mr Green’s insufficient risk assessment of the company’s business model, including payment solutions and the risk factors associated with it, and insufficient business procedures and a lack of documentation of AML controls.

The company has been given a deadline of 10 June by which to submit revised internal controls for its business procedures and must submit a document to the regulator by 10 October to confirm that the new controls have been implemented.

The reprimand from the regulator follows two cases in which Mr Green did not immediately notify suspected money-laundering to the Money Laundering Secretariat, in breach of section 26(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering Act. This breach no longer exists.

Mr Green becomes the second operator this month to fall foul of Denmark’s AML laws after SkillOnNet’s reprimand and two orders for compliance offences from the Danish Gambling Authority last week.
