14 Jul 2026 Goldwin LtdMalta: 80,907 EUR against online casino Goldwin for missing customer risk assessment MaltaCustomer due diligence €80,907

The 2022 examination revealed that for more than two years the remote gaming operator had had no proper customer risk assessment for almost its entire player base; the assessments submitted had been prepared specifically for the examination. In addition, once players reached the deposit threshold of 2,000 EUR, it did not check in good time whether they were politically exposed persons. The Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) imposed 80,907 EUR; the fine was still open to appeal at the time of publication.

What organisations can take from it

Supervisory authorities see through risk assessments prepared only for the examination – they must be applied in day-to-day business.

23 Mar 2026 Stanleybet Malta LimitedMalta: 225,730 EUR against betting operator Stanleybet over lack of customer checks in betting shops MaltaCustomer due diligence €225,730

Malta's Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) imposed 225,730 EUR, a penalty payment of 2,000 EUR per day and a follow-up directive on the licensed gambling operator, which works through a network of independently operated betting shops in an EU member state. The company was unable to link customers' cumulative deposits across different shops and only checked customers from a single deposit of 2,000 EUR upwards, so the threshold could be circumvented. The company has appealed.

What organisations can take from it

Thresholds must be aggregated per customer across all channels and branches – otherwise the system invites structuring.

Relevance to training and awareness

13 Nov 2024 Integritas Consulting LtdMalta: 66,504 EUR against corporate services firm Integritas for lack of monitoring MaltaCustomer due diligence €66,504

The corporate services provider did not question why a client company that had been dormant for seven years suddenly received over 4 million EUR and passed almost identical amounts on to its shareholder, and did not keep customer information up to date. The Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) imposed 66,504 EUR; remediation was no longer possible because the firm had surrendered its licence and is being wound up.

What organisations can take from it

Sudden flows of millions through dormant companies are a trigger for updated due diligence and, where appropriate, a suspicious transaction report.
