Choosing the programme
Do I need previous AML experience?
No. The full pathway includes AML Foundations. Complete the core programme first, then move into the four industry lessons. It also suits professionals moving into this sector who need its business and risk context.
What if I already have AML Foundations?
If you already own the core programme in your learning account, the industry track is €120. You must complete AML Foundations before you can begin the track. Sign in to the same account to see your enrolment option.
Is this for online or land-based gambling?
Both. The first lesson establishes the differences, then the course shows how customer value and payment risk move across casino, betting and online channels.
Does it cover source of funds?
Yes. Source-of-funds and high-value-player controls form part of the lesson on how gambling operators are regulated and controlled.
Does it cover safer gambling?
It addresses the points where player-safety information and AML risk may overlap. The two frameworks still have different purposes, ownership and interventions.
Is it suitable for customer-facing staff?
Yes. It begins with the business model and the signs that require a closer look, then focuses on internal escalation rather than asking front-line staff to make specialist decisions.
