Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy of Royal Reels Casino

Introduction to the AML Policy

Royal Reels Casino operates in compliance with national and international standards for the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism. This Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy outlines the procedures, principles and responsibilities the platform undertakes to detect and prevent illicit financial activities. Royal Reels Casino acknowledges the risks associated with online gaming services and implements a set of controls to mitigate these threats. The platform follows a risk-based approach, adjusting the level of scrutiny applied to users and transactions based on various factors such as location, transaction size and player behaviour. The AML policy applies to all users, employees, partners and systems connected to the Royal Reels platform. The company fully cooperates with financial intelligence units and regulatory bodies in jurisdictions where it operates. This document provides users with an understanding of how AML procedures are integrated into the operational framework of the casino.

Customer Due Diligence and Identity Verification

Customer Due Diligence (CDD) is an essential part of Royal Reels Casino’s compliance program. Before a player can access the full functionality of the platform, particularly the ability to deposit or withdraw funds, identity verification steps are required. These procedures are mandatory and not optional. The goal is to verify the user’s identity, establish the legitimacy of their funds, and determine whether the user poses a potential risk for money laundering or terrorist financing activities. Users are required to submit valid identification documents, which may include a government-issued ID, passport, or driver’s license. Additionally, proof of address documents such as utility bills or bank statements may be requested to confirm the user’s residence. Verification must be completed before a payout can be processed. Royal Reels reserves the right to request updated documentation at any time, especially if suspicious activity is detected. Failure to comply with verification requirements may result in account suspension or termination.

Ongoing Monitoring of Player Transactions

Monitoring user behaviour and transactions is a continuous process. Royal Reels applies automated and manual systems to detect patterns or individual transactions that may indicate illegal financial activity. This includes monitoring large or irregular deposits and withdrawals, frequent changes in payment methods, or inconsistent gameplay behaviour relative to the financial capacity declared during registration. All players are subject to transaction analysis, regardless of account size or country of residence. The system also flags accounts that exhibit behaviour such as sudden shifts in gaming activity or avoidance of bonus policies, which may indicate laundering attempts. When red flags are detected, the compliance team initiates a deeper review, possibly involving direct contact with the player and a temporary freeze of the account. Every flagged transaction is logged and, if necessary, escalated to financial authorities in accordance with regulatory obligations. Players are informed only to the extent required by law, in order to avoid tipping off subjects under investigation.

Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and High-Risk Customers

Royal Reels applies enhanced due diligence (EDD) measures when dealing with customers who are classified as Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) or present a high risk for potential money laundering activities. A PEP is defined as an individual who holds, or has held, a prominent public function, either domestically or internationally. This definition also extends to their immediate family members and close associates. Identification of a PEP is integrated into the onboarding process and supported by screening software. The platform reserves the right to refuse service or impose restrictions on accounts classified as high-risk. Enhanced procedures include stricter verification steps, more frequent monitoring of account activity, and limitations on transaction volumes. The same applies to customers residing in or transacting from high-risk jurisdictions, including countries with weak AML enforcement. All actions taken under these guidelines are aligned with international AML directives such as those issued by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Royal Reels does not provide exemptions under any circumstances.

Reporting of Suspicious Activity (SAR)

Royal Reels Casino is legally obligated to identify and report any suspicious activity that may indicate money laundering or the financing of terrorism. These activities are escalated through internal channels and documented in Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), which are submitted to the appropriate financial intelligence units or regulators. Employees are trained to recognise behaviour that may appear unusual, inconsistent, or lacking a clear economic purpose. Examples of suspicious activity include repeated attempts to avoid identification procedures, sudden use of multiple payment methods, and transferring funds between unrelated accounts. Automated tools flag these incidents for manual review by the AML compliance team. Once a determination is made, the SAR is submitted without notifying the customer involved, in line with anti-tipping-off regulations. The filing of a SAR may result in temporary or permanent freezing of the customer’s account and any associated funds. Royal Reels Casino maintains full cooperation with authorities and ensures that such reporting is carried out accurately and promptly.

Internal Record-Keeping Obligations

As part of its AML obligations, Royal Reels Casino maintains detailed records of all customer interactions, transactions, and verification documents. These records are stored securely for a minimum period as required by applicable legislation, typically five to ten years depending on the jurisdiction. This includes copies of identification documents, communication logs, payment history, and the outcomes of due diligence checks. All documentation is encrypted and stored in line with data protection regulations. The goal of this record-keeping is to enable retrospective analysis by authorities in the event of an investigation. Records are accessible only to authorised personnel within the AML and compliance teams. In the event of a regulatory audit, these files may be made available to financial authorities upon formal request. Royal Reels Casino does not delete or modify any AML-related documentation without explicit legal clearance. Regular internal audits are conducted to ensure that all records remain complete, accurate and up to date according to the company’s compliance framework.

Compliance Staff and AML Training Procedures

Royal Reels Casino has established a dedicated compliance team responsible for implementing and overseeing all Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures. The team operates independently from other departments to avoid conflicts of interest. It consists of qualified professionals trained in legal, financial and operational aspects of AML compliance. The casino ensures that staff involved in onboarding, transaction monitoring and customer service receive mandatory AML training. Training sessions are conducted regularly and include updates on the latest legal requirements, typologies of money laundering, red flag indicators and internal escalation processes. All new employees are trained during onboarding, while existing staff complete refresher courses at defined intervals. Test scenarios and simulated alerts are used to assess response quality. The compliance officer is tasked with ensuring that procedures are being applied uniformly across all teams. Performance reviews, internal audits and system alerts are used to validate adherence. Staff who fail to follow AML protocols are subject to disciplinary actions, including suspension or termination of employment.

AML Risk Management and Control Framework

Royal Reels Casino applies a comprehensive risk management framework designed to detect, assess and control AML-related risks across its operations. The framework is based on a risk-based approach, categorising customers and transactions by their potential exposure to money laundering. This segmentation allows for more efficient allocation of resources and prioritisation of high-risk cases. Risk assessments are carried out periodically and involve both automated analysis and manual oversight. Factors considered include geographic origin, payment methods used, volume and frequency of transactions, and behavioural anomalies. Controls are adjusted based on the outcome of each assessment, which may lead to account restrictions or enhanced due diligence measures. The platform also integrates third-party databases and monitoring tools to evaluate customer risk profiles. Regular stress testing and incident simulations are performed to ensure system resilience. The control framework is reviewed at least annually and updated in response to regulatory changes, market trends and internal audit findings. No exceptions are made to accommodate commercial goals at the expense of compliance.

Player Obligations and Cooperation Requirements

All players using Royal Reels Casino services are required to comply with the AML policy as a condition of their participation on the platform. This includes submitting accurate identification information, responding promptly to requests for verification documents and refraining from structuring transactions to avoid detection. Failure to comply with these requirements may lead to account suspension, withholding of funds or permanent exclusion from the platform. Players are also obligated to inform the casino of any changes to personal data such as residential address, payment method or source of funds. Delays or refusal to provide requested documentation may trigger internal escalation and notification to regulatory authorities. Players should be aware that certain activities, including account sharing, third-party deposits or use of anonymising payment tools, are strictly prohibited under this policy. Royal Reels reserves the right to impose transaction limits or request source of funds declarations without prior notice. Cooperation from players is essential for maintaining operational integrity and regulatory compliance.

Final Statement on AML Enforcement

Royal Reels Casino maintains zero tolerance for money laundering, financing of terrorism or any related criminal activity. The platform is committed to conducting its operations in a manner that fully aligns with both local and international AML regulations. Compliance is not treated as a procedural formality but as a structural obligation integrated across all departments and functions. The casino reserves the right to modify or enhance its AML policy at any time, particularly in response to legal developments or emerging risks in the online gaming sector. All users agree to be bound by the current version of this policy as a condition of use. RoyalReels Casino cooperates transparently with all competent authorities and will not hesitate to take preventive or corrective actions when suspicious activity is detected. By enforcing these principles, Royal Reels aims to maintain a secure, compliant and legally sound environment for all stakeholders involved.
