All online gambling service providers are now required to complete applicable customer identification procedures (ACIP).
Australia.- The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) has announced that all online gambling service providers must complete the customer identification procedures (ACIP) before establishing an online gambling account or offering any designated service. The measure came into force on September 29.
Companies are required to verify the identity of the customer before providing any services and must conduct thorough checks on a customer as part of ACIP before offering these services. The changes were initially introduced in September 2023 but providers were given a year to adjust their systems.
