In recent years, online betting has become more and more popular with an unstoppable trend. Online betting is a highly profitable industry, which means that the industry needs to meet more compliance requirements, such as AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer).

But at the same time, user authentication has become ever more important due to the complexity and diversity of users’ identities. It is also complicated and crucial for the online betting business to verify users’ identities. Maybe some online betting businesses will feel confused about that, is it really necessary and essential for the online betting industry to meet AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance?

There is a case about online betting business from The Guardian.

“Paddy Power Betfair has been fined £2.2m by the gambling industry regulator for failing to protect customers and stop stolen money being gambled. The Gambling Commission said during 2016, the betting group failed to intervene when customers displayed signs of problem gambling and did not carry out adequate anti-money-laundering checks. ” Because the online betting business didn’t meet AML compliance well, it was fined strongly. If the online betting business verifies each user’s identity, it will not only protect customers and prevent fraud but also help the business meet necessary compliance.
