Amendments to the Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act
On 3 September 2026, the Danish Parliament adopted a bill introducing a number of amendments to the AML Act. The purpose of the amendments is to strengthen Denmark’s compliance with the FATF’s recommendations on combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism and proliferation.
For gambling operators, it means, among other things, that as of 15 September, they must prepare risk assessments regarding financing of proliferation and have written policies, procedures and controls to ensure compliance with the rules on both the financing of proliferation and financial sanctions against jurisdictions, persons and companies. In addition, the act introduces a requirement for an independent audit function of the gambling operators’ policies, procedures and controls.
The act enters into force on 15 September 2026 and is available on the Danish Parliament’s website.
