The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), Canada’s financial intelligence agency, has issued a warning that illegal money is being laundered via iGaming sites that offer many different ways to hide suspicious funds.

Criminal exploitation of unlicensed and legitimate digital wagering operations:

In a recent newsletter, FINTRAC emphasized the “criminal exploitation“ of unlicensed and legitimate digital betting operations. In addition, it points out that the fame of online gambling has increased throughout the pandemic and has been boosted by the official approval of single-event sports wagering in Canada during 2021.

To identify cash linked to illegal activities, the aforementioned FINTRAC electronically transmits millions bits of info every year from securities dealers, casinos, money-service businesses, real estate brokers, insurance firms and others. Additionally, it reveals intelligence received about suspicious cases to police as well as other law enforcement agencies.

Relatedly, the aforementioned financial intelligence agency, when it began to produce the aforementioned newsletter, examined reports of suspicious transactions linked to online gambling in the period from 2016 to the previous year. But that’s not all; because it also took into account estimates from international and domestic organizations, information collected from other financial intelligence agencies, as well as data from open sources to uncover patterns and trends, according to The Canadian Press.

In this regard, the newsletter said: “Online gambling sites offer prospective money launderers opportunities to conceal the source of their funds by using multiple different deposit and withdrawal methods.”

FINTRAC’s findings:

FINTRAC discovered that a standard tactic was to buy vouchers or prepaid cards utilizing funds suspected to be the proceeds of crime. These funds are then utilized to deposit cash into bank accounts used for gambling, after which they are withdrawn via e-transfer or wire to the bank account in Canada under the disguise of cash winnings.

On a related note, the bank accounts were also a vehicle for the distribution and placement of proceeds of crime via unlicensed and licensed gambling websites, according to the newsletter. For example, bank deposits that can be connected to crimes like human trafficking and drug dealing are occasionally exhausted by frequent and rapid online gambling transfers or purchases to payment service suppliers widely known to facilitate transactions on gambling sites.

In this regard, the newsletter stated: “Other accounts appeared to exist mainly to facilitate money laundering through online gambling activity. This included transactional activity that appeared circular in nature where funds were received and sent back to the same gambling sites multiple times.”

Moreover, in 1 case, one organized crime group laundered money from criminal activities by managing a non-legal gambling site, meaning that it didn’t have a license, via the accounts of separate businesses, according to FINTRAC.

Even though gambling sites that don’t have a license cannot have accounts with Canadian financial institutions, persons and firms that manage these sites have been noticed sending money to accounts in Canada, the newsletter added. In this sense, it said: “Frequently, these gaming companies are located in jurisdictions that have weak anti-money laundering regimes, engage in highly secretive banking, and provide tax haven capabilities.”

List of possible indicators of money laundering through online gambling sites:

Analysis by FINTRAC has provided help to agency to develop a comprehensive catalog of potential signs of money laundering via online gambling websites.

For instance, it called on institutions to be wary of utilizing accounts solely for internet gambling, without proof of day-to-day banking activities. Additionally, it also informed them to watch out for immoderate transactions with 1 or an additional number of gambling websites that:

• don’t request customer-knowing information from clients
• which have no restrictions on the values and volumes of wagers
• aren’t federally or provincially authorized
• don’t disclose details of their registration or jurisdiction or ownership

In the United Kingdom, a young woman from Belfast is reportedly taking the firm behind giant online sportsbetting operator Bet365 to the High Court in an attempt to receive the £1,009,960 ($1,308,215) she claims to be owed as a result of placing a winning horseracing wager last year.

According to reports from The Daily Telegraph and Belfast Telegraph newspapers, Megan McCann, who was only 19 when she placed the wager in question, lodged her writ against Hillside (UK Sports) LP in Northern Ireland after the operator refused to pay out by claiming that she had been in “flagrant breach” of its terms and conditions because her original stake had allegedly been supplied by a third party.

“A full investigation has been carried out into the circumstances of the bet that was placed,” read a statement from Hillside (UK Sports) LP. “Bet365 is entirely satisfied the circumstances are such that winnings are not payable in relation to it. We expect this position to be upheld at trial. We are not prepared to comment further while litigation is ongoing.”

McCann reportedly staked almost £25,000 ($32,391) on twelve different horses over four races to win £985,000 ($1,276,208) last summer but Bet365 later accused the bettor of fraud and cheating, claims she has since vehemently denied. The successful online wager consisted of 960 £13 ($16.84) each-way Lucky 15 bets, which allow a combination of accumulated winnings, on horses running in events at Bath Racecourse, Kempton Park Racecourse and Naas Racecourse on June 22 and the Belfast resident has accused Gibraltar-based Hillside (UK Sports) LP of breach of contract and is petitioning the court for her full prize as well as damages.

“Our client’s case is very straightforward,” read a letter from McCann’s lawyers to Hillside (UK Sports) LP. “She placed a bet with your client. She won. She is entitled to her winnings.”

However, Hillside (UK Sports) LP reportedly alleges that McCann breached its “no third-party” rule, which has been designed to stop syndicates from wagering and insists that the whole stake for a wager must be put up by one customer alone. The operator claims that such a regulation is contained within its terms and conditions although the plaintiff’s legal team has since declared that this prohibition is “too lengthy, too complex and much too vague for the average customer to understand” and would effectively mean that “the husband who puts a bet on the winner of X-Factor for his wife or on the winner of the Grand National would have those winnings robbed of him”.

The case could reportedly have profound implications for all customers that place an online wager in the United Kingdom with McCann’s legal team moreover alleging in their correspondence with Hillside (UK Sports) LP that the firm’s terms and conditions amount to “nothing more than a heads I win, tails you lose wish list”.
