Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy at A Big Candy Casino

This Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy outlines the principles, procedures, and controls implemented by A Big Candy Casino to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, and other financial crimes. The policy forms an integral part of the casino’s compliance framework and is designed to protect players, safeguard the integrity of gaming operations, and ensure adherence to applicable legal and regulatory requirements in Australia.

A Big Candy Casino recognises that effective AML and Know Your Customer (KYC) measures are essential to maintaining a secure and transparent gaming environment. By implementing structured verification processes, transaction monitoring systems, and reporting mechanisms, the casino aims to identify and mitigate financial risks while supporting lawful and responsible use of its services.

Objectives of the AML Policy

The primary objective of this AML Policy is to prevent the misuse of A Big Candy Casino’s services for illegal or improper activities. The policy establishes internal standards that align with Australian anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing legislation, including obligations overseen by AUSTRAC.

Key objectives of this policy include the identification and verification of players, the detection and reporting of suspicious transactions, the maintenance of accurate records, and cooperation with competent authorities. These measures are designed to ensure that all financial activity conducted through the platform is lawful, traceable, and consistent with regulatory expectations.

Customer Identification (KYC)

A Big Candy Casino applies a mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) process to verify the identity of players and confirm the legitimacy of account activity. Identity verification is required to access full account functionality, including withdrawals, and may also be triggered by specific risk indicators or regulatory thresholds.

During the KYC process, players are required to submit valid, government-issued identification documents, such as a passport or national identity card, along with proof of address. Additional documentation may be requested to verify payment method ownership or to clarify discrepancies in account information. All submitted documents must be accurate, current, and clearly legible.

Verification is conducted using secure systems and is reviewed in accordance with internal risk-based procedures. Accounts that fail to meet KYC requirements may be restricted, suspended, or closed until verification is successfully completed.

Transaction Monitoring

A Big Candy Casino continuously monitors player transactions to identify unusual, inconsistent, or potentially suspicious activity. Monitoring applies to deposits, withdrawals, transfers between accounts, and gameplay patterns that may indicate attempts to disguise the origin or destination of funds.

Automated systems and internal controls are used to assess transaction behaviour against predefined risk indicators. Transactions that deviate from expected patterns are flagged for further review, and enhanced due diligence measures may be applied when required.

The casino reserves the right to delay or decline transactions that cannot be adequately verified or that present an elevated risk under applicable AML regulations.

Reporting and Record-Keeping

In accordance with Australian regulatory requirements, A Big Candy Casino maintains detailed records of player identification data, transaction histories, and AML-related reviews. These records are retained securely for the period required by applicable laws and are protected against unauthorised access or misuse.

Suspicious activity that meets reporting thresholds is escalated internally and, where required, reported to AUSTRAC. Reports are prepared in a timely and confidential manner, and players are not notified when such reports are submitted, in line with legal obligations.

Compliance and Cooperation

A Big Candy Casino is committed to full compliance with applicable anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws in Australia. AML procedures are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in legislation, regulatory guidance, and industry best practices.

The casino cooperates fully with competent authorities, regulatory bodies, and law enforcement agencies. This includes responding to lawful information requests, providing access to relevant records, and supporting investigations into suspected financial crime.

Restricted Jurisdictions

A Big Candy Casino does not provide services to individuals located in jurisdictions subject to international sanctions, high-risk classifications, or regulatory restrictions related to money laundering or terrorist financing. Accounts identified as operating from restricted jurisdictions may be suspended or terminated in accordance with legal requirements.

Players are responsible for ensuring that they do not access the platform from a prohibited location. Technical and procedural measures are used to identify and restrict access where required.

Player Responsibilities

Players are required to provide accurate, complete, and truthful information during registration, verification, and ongoing account use. Personal details must be kept up to date, and requests for documentation or clarification must be addressed promptly.

Only payment methods legally owned and controlled by the player may be used. Any attempt to obscure the origin of funds or bypass AML controls may result in account restrictions, transaction delays, or permanent account closure.

By using the services of A Big Candy Casino, players acknowledge the importance of AML and KYC procedures and agree to cooperate with all verification, monitoring, and reporting requirements.
