Atlantic Lottery confirms it has received a Notice of Violation from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) imposing an administrative monetary penalty of $212,025 related to three compliance violations.

The findings are administrative in nature and do not include any allegations of money laundering, terrorist financing, criminal activity or willful misconduct by Atlantic Lottery or its players.

Atlantic Lottery takes its regulatory and compliance obligations seriously and remains committed to maintaining a robust anti-money laundering compliance program across its operations. The organization has established policies, procedures and controls designed to detect and deter money laundering and other financial crime. Atlantic Lottery works closely with regulators, law enforcement and industry partners to continuously strengthen those measures. 

While Atlantic Lottery has full confidence that its compliance program meets or exceeds its obligations, it is not in the best interest of Atlantic Canadians to divert funds that would otherwise be returned to provincial shareholders by disputing this penalty through a legal appeal. As such, Atlantic Lottery has paid the administrative penalty outlined by FINTRAC, concluding the examination.

Atlantic Lottery looks forward to continuing to work with FINTRAC on ongoing improvements to its anti-money laundering compliance program and on ensuring that the regulatory framework keeps pace with the rapidly evolving Canadian gambling landscape.
