[MARKET NEWS] UK GAMBLING FINES KEEP LANDING ON SOURCE OF FUNDS Three casino operators ordered to pay £5m combined on 7 October for AML and social responsibility failures. In August, QuinnBet settled at £609,104 — a customer reporting around £2,000 a month in earnings deposited and lost £9,000 in four days. Every one of them knew who their customer was. Identity wasn't the gap. Onboarding establishes who. Monitoring establishes what changed. #iGaming #OnlineCasino #AML #SourceOfFunds #Compliance #Blockpass

[BLOCKPASS NEWS] REGULATORS COMPETE TO KEEP CRYPTO ONSHORE The CFTC proposed federal rules letting US exchanges opt into federal oversight instead of state money-transmitter licensing, with proof-of-reserves and anti-manipulation obligations attached. SEC Chair Paul Atkins committed to further changes aimed at keeping markets onshore. Japan's FSA streamlined its no-action letter process. India's parliamentary panel is pushing for stricter transaction monitoring. 👉 Read our new report here: buff.ly/A6wbgoi #CryptoRegulation #Web3 #CFTC #SEC #CryptoAML #Compliance #Blockpass

[MARKET NEWS] FINCEN WITHDRAWS UNHOSTED WALLET AND MIXER PROPOSALS FinCEN has withdrawn the 2020 unhosted wallet recordkeeping and reporting proposal, and the Section 311 special measure on convertible virtual currency mixing, citing the administration's deregulatory agenda. Meanwhile Bulgaria will require reporting on withdrawals to self-custody wallets from 2027, and Thailand requires operators to verify a customer controls a self-hosted wallet. Same wallet, different obligations. #FinCEN #CryptoRegulation #AML #UnhostedWallets #CryptoAML #Compliance #Blockpass

VERIFY EMPLOYEES AND SUPPLIERS, NOT JUST CUSTOMERS Small businesses verify customers because someone requires it, and verify nobody else. The supplier issuing invoices and the contractor with system access get less scrutiny than a retail signup. KYC for people, KYB for businesses, one platform. No regulator compels it — one fake counterparty costs more than a year of checks. 👉 buff.ly/BBEr3Rq #SME #KYB #KYC #DueDiligence #Compliance #Blockpass

[MARKET NEWS] CURAÇAO REPLACES MASTER LICENCES WITH DIRECT REGULATION The master and sub-licence model is gone. Operators apply to the Curaçao Gaming Authority directly, and every licensee sits on a public register. AML obligations no longer diffuse through a master licence holder — they sit with the named operator, under an authority that can investigate and revoke.

SCREEN EVERY CRYPTO DEPOSIT BEFORE YOU CREDIT IT You verified the player. You didn't verify the wallet, or anything that wallet touched before it reached you. Wallet screening runs before funds are credited. Only the address is checked, the user is never asked for anything, and clear results approve automatically — your team only sees exceptions. A deposit is a counterparty you never agreed to. 👉 Contact us for the latest updates: [email protected] buff.ly/DLrYjQl #CryptoAML #iGaming #VASP #AML #WalletScreening #Compliance #Blockpass

WHEN TO SCREEN A WALLET ONCE, AND WHEN TO WATCH IT DAILY API-First: a point-in-time check before a deposit, withdrawal or on-chain transaction. Wallet address in, risk score out — no KYC, no personal data. Ongoing Monitoring: daily re-screening of wallets you already approved, with alerts on transaction size, counterparty risk or a score drop. One screens at the gate. The other watches what happens after. 👉 API-First: buff.ly/mQ5q6gD 👉 Ongoing Monitoring: buff.ly/mf08awN #CryptoAML #WalletScreening #AML #Compliance #Blockpass

[BLOCKPASS NEWS] SURVEILLANCE TIGHTENED WHILE THE US STALLED The CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate on a 49–50 cloture vote, leaving US market structure with the SEC and CFTC until after the midterms. Elsewhere, reporting obligations expanded. Bulgaria will require full customer and transaction data from 2027, including withdrawals to self-custody wallets. Argentina committed to the OECD reporting framework. Brazil banned stablecoins on regulated cross-border payment rails. Across all four, the obligations rest on verified identity. 👉 Read our new report here: buff.ly/hOjHQwB #CryptoRegulation #Web3 #CryptoAML #KYC #Compliance #Blockpass
