AML/CTF Compliance for Gaming Venues — After AML/CTF Reform (2026)

With the AML/CTF Reforms in force from 31 March 2026, hotels, pubs and clubs with gaming machines face significantly enhanced compliance obligations — from a lowered $5,000 identification threshold on gaming wins to new governance, record-keeping and AUSTRAC examination powers. This session unpacks what’s changed under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Amendment Act 2024, what a compliant AML/CTF Program now requires, and the real penalties venues are facing for getting it wrong. GOVLAW will also introduce their new AML/CTF Program toolkit designed specifically for gaming venues.
