Journal of Money Laundering Control, 2012, vol. 15, issue 3, 304-315

Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the “relationship” between the regulated online gambling sector in Great Britain and potential for money laundering. Design/methodology/approach - Direct “negotiated” access and a snowball sample were used to secure five interviews with gambling personnel. Findings - The paper shows that respected online gambling sites in highly regulated jurisdictions are helping in tackling money laundering. Research limitations/implications - Only a limited number of people were interviewed. Originality/value - The paper presents interviews with key personnel in the gambling industry, in anti‐money laundering, fraud and integrity units.
