The Act on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (abbreviated to AML, from the English term \u2018anti--money laundering) came into force on 13 July 2018 as the Act of 1 March 2018 on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 723). It stipulates that lottery organisers are obliged entities subject to a number of obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most important responsibilities of lottery organisers include, amongst other things, the need to implement financial safeguards for customers, identifying and documenting the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing, and assessing the level of these risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Financial security measures, implemented by the organisers, are evident, for example, when establishing business relationships, but also in the case of specific transactions or when placing bets of a certain amount. This also covers situations where there is a suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing, or where there are doubts regarding the authenticity of a customer\u2019s identification details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Financial security measures may include the verification and identification of a customer\u2019s identity or the identification of the beneficial owner. They may also involve the assessment of business relationships and the ongoing monitoring of a participant\u2019s business relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
