On June 10, 2026, the Danish Gambling Authority announced it had reported gambling operator 25syv A/S to the police for breaching the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Act. The operator failed to adequately monitor its customers on an ongoing basis during the period October 1, 2023 through December 14, 2025 across its land-based betting operations, in violation of section 11(1)(5) of the AML Act. The Danish Gambling Authority initially reprimanded 25syv A/S on April 20, 2026 for the breach. Following this reprimand, the authority escalated the matter by reporting the operator to police on May 21, 2026. Under section 11(5)(1) of the AML Act, gambling operators must monitor established business relationships and ensure that transactions completed as part of these relationships are consistent with the operator's knowledge of the customer and their business and risk profile, including the origin of funds where necessary. The failure to conduct sufficient ongoing customer monitoring represents a significant compliance gap in the operator's anti-money laundering procedures. This enforcement action demonstrates the Danish Gambling Authority's commitment to ensuring gambling operators maintain robust customer due diligence and transaction monitoring systems. The police referral indicates the authority views the breach as sufficiently serious to warrant criminal investigation, potentially exposing 25syv A/S to additional penalties beyond regulatory sanctions.
