In this context, Brazil is committed to comply with the international AML/CFT standards. On the other hand, the vulnerability of gambling sector for money laundering and terrorist financing is recognized by the international community. However, there remained a lack of recent global identification of ML/TF threats on this sector. This study will deal with vulnerabilities in domestic implementation of AML/CFT measures and discuss several policy implications.
