Is it legal for casinos to keep the money?
This discussion is based on a question of our bro seoincorporation
Casinos ask for KYC to avoid money laundering, but if the gambler isn't able to give the requested data then the casino keeps the money. If the casino keeps the money isn't that Money laundering?
Let's have an open conversation on this
If am to base my opinion on money laundering, we would understand that it follows a part and that means, it gets to return to the criminal for his or her use. The casino having to hold this money breaks the process but, where does the money go afterwards raises some concerns. This is an illegal money and a casino having to hold back this money doesn’t make it any illegal. The money ought to be returned to the authorities of the gamblers state of origin.
At times there might not be follow ups on the return of these money but, the policy alone serves as a deterrent to those that might want to be involved in the practice of money laundering. Another policy that plays to this policy is that, you get to use 100% of the deposit in most cases to bet and on an odd that amounts to 1.1 at least. Some criminals still attempt it but, it does serve its purpose to some extent.
