Australia’s financial industry crime watchdog has warned the gambling junket tour sector is exposed to “multiple criminal threats” with the risk of money laundering and terrorism financing (ML/TF) being “high.”

The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) has released a risk assessment for casinos to assess any potential suspicious activity around junket tour operations (JTO) and to put in proper safeguards.
