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 related to the sector and to provide parity amongst the providers of gambling services, an obligation for all providers of gambling services to conduct customer due diligence for single transactions of EUR 2 .000 or more should be laid down. Member States should consider applying this threshold to eithe collection of winnings as well as wagering a staker or both wagering a stake and collection of winnings, depending upon characteristics and specific vulnerabilities of the various forms of gambling and betting. Providers of gambling services with physical premises (e.g. casinos and 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.
