FATF Releases Report on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risks in Gaming

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) published a report in September 2026 analyzing money laundering and terrorist financing risks within the gaming and gambling sectors. The report highlights that as these platforms integrate cross-border activities and diverse payment methods, they have become part of a broader value transfer ecosystem. FATF advises virtual asset service providers to scrutinize fund flows from these platforms rather than viewing them solely as gambling transactions.
