Money LaunderingSwedish Gaming Authority Issues SEK 9 Million Penalty to Videoslots Ltd for Money Laundering and Customer Understanding Shortcomings

In the autumn of 2021, the Swedish Gaming Authority initiated supervision of Videoslots Ltd’s efforts in combating money laundering and ensuring a sufficient understanding of their customers. This review also encompassed how Videoslots Ltd manages customer risk profiles and implements heightened customer awareness measures.

According to Spelinspektionen’s evaluation, Videoslots Ltd has fallen short in its efforts to understand its customers. They have not taken adequate steps to assess the risks associated with their operations being utilized for money laundering and terrorist financing. These shortcomings are deemed so severe that Videoslots Ltd is issued a warning and a penalty of SEK 9 million.

Under the Money Laundering Act, the maximum penalty for non-compliance is one million euros.

Videoslots Ltd holds a license for conducting commercial online gaming on the videoslots.com website.
