OFAC Screening for Gaming & Casinos
BSA compliance for cash transactions, player accounts, and high-value payouts in the gaming industry.
Casinos and gaming companies are financial institutions under BSA/AML regulations and must screen patrons against OFAC sanctions lists. OFACScreen helps gaming operators maintain compliance across player accounts, cage transactions, and payouts.
Use Cases
How Gaming & Casinos Use OFACScreen
Player Account Opening
Screen every new player account registration against OFAC sanctions lists before activation.
Cash Transactions
Screen patrons at the cage for currency transactions of any size. OFAC prohibitions carry no dollar threshold, separate from the $10,000 CTR reporting requirement under the BSA.
High-Value Payouts
Screen players before issuing jackpot payouts, tournament winnings, or chip redemptions.
Sports Betting
Screen account holders on sports betting and iGaming platforms as part of your KYC/AML program.
The Requirement
What OFAC Asks of Gaming & Casinos
Casinos are named in the statute
The Bank Secrecy Act's program requirements apply to entities meeting the statutory definition of a financial institution, and casinos sit on that list beside banks, credit unions, money services businesses, and broker-dealers.
OFAC violations are strict liability
If you transacted with a blocked person, a violation occurred, whatever your state of mind at the time. Not knowing is not a defense.
The CTR threshold is not a screening threshold
The $10,000 currency transaction report is a Bank Secrecy Act filing requirement. OFAC prohibitions carry no dollar threshold at all, so the cage cannot treat $10,000 as the line at which screening starts.
