About this webinar

Australia's AML/CTF regime changed significantly on 31 March 2026, and AUSTRAC is actively assessing gaming venues against the new obligations. This session breaks down what a compliant, defensible AML/CTF program looks like in practice and how to judge whether your current program and advisor meet the standard. Drawing on AUSTRAC's sector-wide compliance findings, Senet's specialist gambling regulatory team covers the questions every venue should be asking and the warning signs of a templated, tick-a-box approach that won't hold up under review.
