Nevada Gaming Control Board chair warns of money laundering risks at casinos
Nevada Gaming Control Board chair Kirk Hendrick said at a Las Vegas industry panel on 7 October 2024 that illegal bookmakers were gambling in Nevada and could launder money through casinos and sports betting. He urged licensees to assess customers’ identities, funds and betting activity; the board had filed a disciplinary complaint against Resorts World and related parties in August, alleging it served illegal bookmakers.
Nevada licensees face regulatory scrutiny over customer checks and suspected laundering through casino and sports wagering.
