As we know that most gambling sites will require you to gamble and wager your whole balance once, before you can cash out or withdraw from the gambling site and they take this measure so people do not do money laundering whereby deposit and withdraw without gambling.

Now the point here is that on the gambling site, there are many easy winning bets with odds like 1.01x etc. If the money lauder is sensible he can easily be wagering the whole amount by placing a few bets where the odds are very low and the winning chances are 99%.

So does this mean that there is a loophole here and the money launderers can easily by pass this wagering requirement?
The wagering requirements and Kyc procedures are different means that gambling platforms use to ensure safe betting against money laundering, the thing is that @noormcs5 there is no high percent successful strategy as such and it would come as a surprise for you to know that odds like that might even end up being more difficult to win than the ones you feel are risky, I've come across a game in sports betting where a team with a good success rate and has a lower of 1.05 lost against a team with a high and risky odd of about 5.08, though sometimes the lower odds stand a good chance of winning but the success rate from it is not very sure thats why experts says gambling is a game of luck and skills, no matter how skillfull you're sometimes you need luck to win a bet.
 Moreover this money lauderers know that the risk behind putting their money on gambling platforms and won't want to pass through the stress of these wagering requirements or kyc processes before withdrawal, they know chance of losing their stolen money is high and would seek other alternatives instead of going through those stressful processes
