Money Laundering in Casinos

Money laundering is a crime that has been around for centuries and is becoming more complex with time. Due to the rise in popularity of online gambling, there has been an increase in money laundering through online casinos as well.

Money laundering allows the inconspicuous exchange of dirty money. In addition to standard casino money laundering, online casinos have become a hub for this illegal activity due to the rising number of online casinos accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This makes detecting illegal activity more difficult.
