Ontario’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) fined Great Canadian Entertainment $170,000 over failures to assess and monitor high-risk customers and report suspected money laundering at Pickering Casino Resort. The commission said its compliance audit found cases requiring enhanced monitoring and suspicious-transaction reports that had not been filed; the company can appeal within 15 days.
The penalty underscores Ontario casino operators’ obligations to monitor high-risk customers and report suspected money laundering.
