Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy
Grandmondial Casino is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and compliance in accordance with applicable anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-financing of terrorism (CFT) laws and regulations. This AML Policy outlines the measures and procedures implemented by Grandmondial Casino to detect, prevent, and report any activity related to money laundering or terrorist financing on our platform. This policy is designed for users residing in New Zealand and is guided by the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (AML/CFT Act) and other relevant international standards.
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this AML Policy is to prevent the use of Grandmondial Casino’s services for illicit financial activities. The policy applies to all customers, employees, agents, and contractors engaged with the platform. It covers all aspects of customer registration, transactions, ongoing monitoring, and reporting of suspicious activities to ensure full compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements.
Customer Due Diligence (CDD)
Grandmondial Casino undertakes comprehensive Customer Due Diligence (CDD) procedures to verify the identity of each customer prior to the establishment of a business relationship and during ongoing operations. The CDD process includes the collection and verification of personal identification information such as name, date of birth, address, and proof of identity documents. Enhanced due diligence is applied in cases of higher risk, including but not limited to politically exposed persons (PEPs) and customers from jurisdictions deemed to present increased AML risks.
- Collection of government-issued identification (e.g., passport or driver’s license)
- Verification of residential address through recent utility bills or bank statements
- Assessment of the source of funds and ongoing monitoring of transactions
- Screening against international sanction and watch lists
Ongoing Monitoring and Transaction Analysis
Grandmondial Casino conducts ongoing monitoring of customer activity to detect and prevent suspicious transactions. This involves the continuous assessment of customer profiles, transaction patterns, and the origin of funds. Unusual or large transactions, rapid movements of funds, or patterns inconsistent with known customer activities are subject to enhanced scrutiny and may result in further investigation or temporary suspension of the account until satisfactory clarification is obtained.
Record Keeping
In accordance with regulatory requirements, Grandmondial Casino maintains accurate and up-to-date records of customer information, identification documents, transaction histories, and any correspondence related to AML compliance for a minimum period as stipulated by New Zealand law. These records are securely stored and are only accessible to authorized personnel for compliance or regulatory review purposes.
Reporting of Suspicious Activities
Grandmondial Casino is obligated to report any knowledge or suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing to the relevant authorities without prior notification to the customer involved. Employees are required to escalate all suspicious activities to the designated Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) who will assess the situation and make filings with the appropriate regulatory bodies, including the New Zealand Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), as required by law.
Employee Training and Responsibilities
All Grandmondial Casino employees and agents undergo regular AML training to ensure awareness and understanding of the latest compliance obligations, risk indicators, and operational procedures. The MLRO is responsible for the implementation and ongoing review of this policy. Employees are required to adhere strictly to all AML policies and procedures and to report any suspicious or unusual transactions in a timely manner.
