About AML

AML Certification is the AGLC's Anti-Money Laundering training program.

The program has been developed to educate all registered casino gaming workers within Alberta, including specified AGLC employees, on the topic of Money Laundering. The information in AML Certification provides all Registered Gaming Workers with exposure to the possibilities of money laundering related to cash transactions within a casino environment.

It does not replace the on-the-job training, knowledge or experience provided by or required by a worker's employer, nor does it include all information on AGLC Policies (Casino Term and Conditions, or Racing Entertainment Centre Terms and Conditions)

The ultimate goal of the AML Certification program is to train, educate and mitigate against the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing activities within a casino or REC.

AML Certification is mandatory for all individuals exposed to the potential risk of money laundering or terrorist financing activities within a casino or REC. This includes Registered Gaming Workers who are employed in a casino or Racing Entertainment Centre and key personnel of the AGLC.

As of July 1, 2015 all Registered Gaming Workers are required to have AML Certification to be eligible to work in a casino or REC.

Casinos or Racing Entertainment Centres with uncertified staff, as well as registered gaming workers, could face penalties such as a fine or Board Hearing.

AGLC policies are available online at aglc.ca.
