Ensuring we meet both our regulatory AFC obligations in the countries we operate in and as a leading gambling operator, to act as a gatekeeper for safer betting and gaming with responsibilities in keeping financial crime out of gambling remains a critical objective. To meet this, we have established an AFC programme which ensures FinCrime Risks are managed across the group. The Programme establishes and develops, via policies, procedures, protocols and associated guidance, the criteria, key processes (including training, risk assessments, monitoring and assurance), roles and responsibilities and governance associated with FinCrime risks, including AML/CFT, sanctions and KYC / CDD / EDD.
The role is crucial to Entain’s objective of maintaining and enhancing its reputation as a leading operator in providing a crime-free environment for its customers and in keeping crime out of gambling.
