SmartAML 2.0

The problem

Public Gaming operators are classified by Italian law as subjects with particularly high risk of criminal infiltration and, therefore, have more pervasive and “micro-operational” AML controls compared to most other sectors.

AML obligations are directly integrated into gaming collection methods, with significant impacts especially on the physical network:

• Extended responsibility — AML obligations primarily fall on ADM concessionaires, who remain responsible also for the network of points of sale, managers and contracted retailers
• “Network” structure — Retailers and physical locations become part of the AML framework (customer identification, documentation collection, anomaly reporting), under the coordination of the concessionaire
• Strong traceability — ADM regulation requires traceability of gaming accounts, recharge flows and winnings payments, with cash limits and mandatory use of traceable instruments
• Segmented risk analysis — By channel (online / physical network), product (betting, slots, bingo) and distribution model, with sector-specific anomaly indicators

Compliance activities at points of sale often represent a bottleneck. The player identification and ticket registration process requires collecting numerous data, with activities where human error or evasive operator behavior is very likely, with evident risk of co-responsibility for Concessionaires.

The solution

SmartAML 2.0 offers a definitive solution to AML compliance by addressing two fundamental pillars:

Back Office Automation

Complete support for all back office processes: from first-level control on documentation submitted by points of sale, to treasury management and reporting obligations.

First-level compliance control is supported by numerous automated checks, allowing the Organization to dedicate the most expert resources to second-level activities and reduce overall workloads.

Gaming Floor Process Facilitation

Acceleration of floor processes, automated through the use of smart devices and artificial intelligence.

The player identification and tracked event registration process (ticket purchase, winnings collection) is guided through a procedure that has been optimized and refined over time, with real-time automated controls that reduce operator discretion.

Documentation collected at points of sale flows into a central system that is highly configurable to Client needs.

Deployment options

The SmartAML 2.0 platform is offered in two configurations:

• On Premise — Installable at Client data centers, with maintenance service provided by our system support, or in self-hosting with management by the Client
• PaaS (Cloud) — Accessible via cloud, in a configuration fully managed by our support. Upon request, the cloud environment can be configured as private and dedicated
