SkillOnNet faces Danish Gambling Authority action

SkillOnNet has been reprimanded by the Danish Gambling Authority over anti-money laundering and internal control and documentation concerns.

The first of three orders to act for the company relates to what the regulator called its “insufficient” AML risk assessment procedure.

“It is the Danish Gambling Authority’s assessment that the risk assessment must include a separate assessment of the risk of the individual products and payment solutions, as well as a separate risk assessment of the risk factors associated with these. Thus, Skill on Net has not complied with the risk assessment obligation in section 7(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering Act,” it said.

Further orders relate to Skill On Net’s written procedures and the company failing to document that internal controls have been implemented.

Skill On Net now has two months to act on the orders and submit a revised risk assessment and business procedures for the control of internal controls.

Within six months, it must also submit documentation that internal controls have been implemented.

The Danish Gambling Authority has also given Skill On Net two reprimands, which do not include an obligation to act. These relate to a deficient business procedure for politically exposed persons and the company’s whistleblower scheme not sufficiently meeting the requirement for anonymity.
