Primary goal
Anti-Money Laundering/ Anti-Terrorist Financing (AML/ATF) program design and enhancement for regulated online gaming
Strengthening AML/ATF readiness in a growing iGaming market
As regulatory expectations evolve, online casino and gaming organizations must balance growth, operational complexity, and compliance obligations.
For one regulated online gaming organization, establishing a practical and scalable Anti-Money Laundering/ Anti-Terrorist Financing (AML/ ATF program) became essential to entering the market, supporting long-term growth, maintaining stakeholder confidence, and strengthening oversight across a dynamic operating environment.
KPMG worked with the organization to help design, implement, assess, and continuously enhance key elements of its AML/ATF compliance framework. Through a combination of regulatory insight, risk management experience, quality assurance support, and practical implementation guidance, KPMG helped the client build a more sustainable and scalable compliance program tailored to the realities of regulated online gaming.

Building a foundation for growth
Entering and operating in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment created unique challenges for the organization. As the business entered the market and expanded, the operational complexity increased, and leadership recognized the need for a practical AML/ ATF framework that could support both current requirements and future growth.
The challenge was not limited to market launch. As the market matured and the organization continued to collaborate with multiple private operators, the AML/ATF program also needed to evolve. This required clearer expectations across operators, stronger accountability for key obligations, and a framework that could support both immediate compliance requirements and longer-term market growth.
Without a robust AML/ATF compliance framework, the organization risked operating with inconsistent governance, unclear accountability across stakeholders, and reduced regulatory readiness. Over time, these gaps could have exposed the organization to heightened operational, regulatory, and reputational risk, including potential regulatory findings, administrative monetary penalties, and increased scrutiny from regulators and other stakeholders.
KPMG worked closely with the organization through a multi-year transformation of its AML/ATF compliance program, helping navigate the complexities of a newly regulated online gaming market. Through workshops, working sessions, and ongoing advisory support, KPMG helped the client design, implement, assess, and continuously enhance its compliance framework.
The team brought together experience in anti-money laundering, regulatory compliance, financial crime, risk management, and gaming. As the market evolved, KPMG’s support expanded from foundational program design to operator readiness assessments, risk assessment enhancements, quality assurance reviews, independent AML program evaluations, regulatory response support, remediation, training, and ongoing advisory services.
By combining regulatory insight with practical implementation experience, KPMG helped the organization establish a scalable, risk-based AML/ATF framework tailored to the online gaming sector.
The work strengthened the client’s ability to manage risk across enterprise, operator, and player levels while supporting immediate compliance obligations and long-term program maturity.
Today, the organization operates with a more mature AML/ATF compliance program supported by strengthened governance, enhanced oversight processes, and greater accountability.
The program provides a scalable foundation for managing compliance obligations, supporting regulatory engagement, and responding to changing expectations with greater confidence.
The engagement evolved into a multi-year collaboration focused on continuous improvement and long-term program maturity.
How we make the difference
By combining AML/ATF regulatory expertise, risk management experience, and a collaborative working style, KPMG helped the organization move beyond compliance as a regulatory obligation toward compliance as a sustainable business capability.
Rather than delivering a one-time project, KPMG supported a long-term maturity journey, helping translate complex AML obligations into practical frameworks, tools, processes, and training that strengthen governance, improve oversight, enhance regulatory readiness, and build a scalable foundation for future growth.
Working with stakeholders across the organization, KPMG helped create a compliance framework designed to evolve with changing regulatory expectations while supporting operational effectiveness and organizational confidence.
