PokerStars is in hot water in Sweden after it wasn\u2019t quick enough in conducting source of funds checks on high rollers, which violated the country\u2019s anti-money laundering (AML) laws. <\/p>\n

The Flutter Entertainment-owned brand will pay a SEK 7m ($728,199) fine and received an official warning from Sweden\u2019s gambling regulator, Spelinspektionen, for its transgressions.<\/p>\n

An investigation highlighted the slow checks on ten big spenders in 2023 and their insufficient accuracy in determining the users\u2019 behavior in relation to their age bracket.<\/p>\n

risk limits were also deemed to be too high to properly prevent fraud<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The operator\u2019s risk limits were also deemed to be too high to properly prevent fraud, with single transactions only sparking additional checks if they were $20,000 or $40,000 for combined net deposits.<\/p>\n

While PokerStars fought back on certain aspects of the judgment, Spelinspektionen disagreed that its AML systems were sufficient.<\/p>\n
