This follows a similar trend across licensed gambling as the report highlights “online gambling is a consumer discretionary expenditure item.

Giles Thomson, FATF president, said unregulated sectors risk becoming “attractive gateways for fraudsters, professional money launderers and organised criminal networks”. He called on governments to strengthen oversight, crack down on illegal and offshore operators and deepen public-private cooperation.

The review examined the gaming sector and associated money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing risks.
