Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (“FIAU”), in conjunction with the Malta Gaming Authority (“MGA”), has today published a revised version of the Implementing Procedures Part II for the Remote Gaming Sector.

The changes carried out were rendered necessary to address amendments to the Prevention of Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism Regulations (“PMLFTR”) and to the Implementing Procedures – Part I, as well as to reflect realities that FIAU and MGA officers have been encountering in the course of supervisory activities. The salient revisions made to these Implementing Procedures are listed hereunder:

  • Providing further guidance on customer due diligence (“CDD”), such as on the verification of customers’ identity, the carrying out of ongoing monitoring, dealing with customers who are PEPs, as well as on the requirements that persons acting as MLROs are expected to meet;
  • Clarification on the obligations of subject persons when the customer is not willing to provide the same with the necessary information and/or documentation required as part of CDD;
  • Further elaboration on risk factors which are to be taken into account by subject persons, such as on the involvement of affiliates;
  • The extension of the licensees’ own anti-money laundering and countering the funding of terrorism (“AML/CFT”) obligations to physical establishments used to extend licensees’ customer reach;
  • The provision of targeted guidance on Corporate Licensees; and
  • The inclusion of case studies based on actual cases analysed by the FIAU’s own Intelligence Analysis Section.

In an effort to further assist interested parties, the FIAU has also published on its website a copy of the original Implementing Procedures Part II with all the changes carried out tracked out for ease of reference.

Subject persons are reminded that these Implementing Procedures and the amendments that have been made thereto focus on certain aspects of the PMLFTR and their application that warrant further elaboration at industry-specific level in order to ensure their correct interpretation and application by licensees. Licencees are hereby being reminded that to understand and fulfil their AML/CFT obligations, they are to read these Implementing Procedures in conjunction with the Implementing Procedures Part I.

The revised version of the Implementing Procedures Part II is effective from today the 2nd July 2020.

The Implementing Procedures Part II can be viewed from here.

Springbok Casino Presents “Wild Galaxy Month” with 25 Free Spins on Prosperity Pots

This May, SpringbokCasino.co.za celebrates Star Wars Day with Wild Galaxy Month, a cosmic new feature reimagining the savanna’s creatures as space-faring legends. May the 4th be with you and your 25 Free Spins on Prosperity Pots slot, available all month.

In Wild Galaxy Month, Springbok Casino compares five famous character types from the classic space-opera world to South African animals that carry the same energy in the bush. From bold young lions to wise old tortoises, each one brings its own style to survival—and the same is true for smart slot play. Knowing when to take a risk like a lion, when to wait like a leopard, or when to play the long game like a tortoise can make all the difference between a quick spin and a legendary win!

Lucky Skywalker and the young lion Yedi – Destiny favours the brave, but instinct separates the hero from the herd.

Dark Spots the leopard and the power of the hunt – True power is silent, focused, and impossible to read until it strikes.

Han So-low the meerkat and the art of looking confident – Confidence is half the battle—the other half is knowing when to duck.

Princess Lay-a the springbok and grace under pressure – Elegance under fire is a weapon sharper than any blaster.

Yodust the tortoise and the wisdom of slow power – Patience wins the longest war. The strongest moves are the slowest.

“Out here in the wild, legends don’t begin with dramatic music and perfect timing. They begin with instinct, chaos, close calls, and a little bit of luck. This May, we’re giving our players all four—plus 25 free spins on Prosperity Pots. May the wild be with you,” said Daniel Van Wyke, Casino Manager at SpringbokCasino.

Prosperity Pots: Lucky Coins from RTG transports players to a vibrant, golden-hued world of oriental charm, featuring 25 paylines, Wilds, Scatters and a random Lucky Coin Feature that unlocks multipliers or instant cash prizes.
