There are numerous indicators which may act as ‘red flags’ for reporting entities to identify potential money laundering or terrorism financing activity.
Although a single indicator does not necessarily indicate illicit activity, the existence of a ‘red flag’ indicator should encourage further monitoring and examination. In most cases it is the existence of multiple indicators that raises a reporting entity’s suspicion of potential criminal activity, and influences their response to the situation.
Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) officers should include these money laundering/terrorism financing indicators in staff training, and encourage their staff to use these indicators when describing suspicious behaviours for inclusion in suspect transaction or suspicious matter reports.

To be honest, I don't quite understand why the fact that a client is a known frequent gambler or high roller at a casino is a money laundering indicator. I play Casinos-NL myself, and I really want to know what's wrong with it because it's not bad for me at all, it's just entertaining, sometimes profitable, and 100% legal.
