Most newcomers treat AML as paperwork, rather than a living risk management system. Here are the three mistakes AUSTRAC keeps finding - and how to fix them fast.

AUSTRAC has released a revised "Pubs and Clubs with Gaming Machines Regulatory Guide," introducing new details on ML/TF risk assessments, adviser independence, enhanced due diligence, and venue-level governance. The update strengthens expectations for how pubs and clubs manage AML/CTF risks and reflects lessons from recent enforcement actions.

In risk and compliance, most teams don't fail because they lack effort; they fail because they focus on paperwork instead of building systems that actually work. The most common misstep we see across gaming operator businesses? Jumping straight into templates and registers without understanding the underlying why. Real compliance isn't about spreadsheets or documenting a long obligation register; it's about how controls operate in practice, how staff behave under pressure, and how decisions get made every day. If your compliance function lives in a shared spreadsheet in a shared drive gathering digital dust, it's not protecting your business.
