Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) The use of the gambling sector to launder the proceeds of criminal activity is of concern. In order to mitigate the risks Gambling services with high payout ratios are at particular risk of being used for money laundering purposes; the risk is even grelated to the sector and to provide parity amongst the providers of gambling services, ar where these gambling services also have a high event frequency, where the outcome is not entirely subject to chance, and where very high stakes can be played for in a short period of time. An obligation for all providers of gambling services to conduct regular, if not enhanced, customer due diligence for single transactions (stakes and payouts) of EUR 2 000 or more should therefore be laid down. Member States should consider applying this threshold to the collection of winnings as well as wagering a stake. Providers of gambling services with physical premises (e.g. casinos and g, in any event wherever the average payout ratio exceeds 90 %. State-owned providers of gambling services with low average payout ratios, in any event whenever this ratio does not exceed 55 %, shall meet the requirements regarding customer due diligence for payouts of EUR 2 000 or more; this provision shall be without prejudice to Article 13. Gaming houses) should ensure that customer due diligence, if it is taken at the point of entry to the premises, can be linked to the transactions conducted by the customer on those premises.
