CHERRYHUB TO UNVEIL FIRST AML/CTF PLATFORM BUILT FOR CLUBS & PUBS AT AGE
Compliance isn’t a destination — it’s a journey. Through Cherryhub and our BNDRY partnership, we’ve been developing tools to help venues implement, automate, and monitor their own AML/CTF programs.
We bring deep knowledge of the operational environment in clubs and pubs, with direct access to the data available within venue systems. That means the solutions we’re building are practical and grounded in how venues actually operate.
While there are plenty of technology solutions developed for financial services, and some will point to experience in casinos, our focus is clubs and pubs. These are very different environments. That’s why we’re ingesting data directly from Australian venues to build learning models that reflect real-world player behaviour and risk in this sector.
It’s also important to be clear: every venue needs an independently assessed, risk-based program tailored to their business. Our role is to help systemise that program, making it more operational, sustainable, and robust through automation, data integration, and smart tooling.
Some elements of the platform are ready now and already being implemented, while others are well progressed in development. We’re not offering a quick fix, but we are building the right tools for the real-world challenges venues face.
The risks haven’t gone away; they’ve intensified. This isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about visibility, action, and accountability.
Purpose-built, connected solutions for venue operators aren’t optional anymore. They’re essential.
One of the key challenges for clubs is automating the highly manual process of monitoring transactions. The challenge lies in the definition of a transaction. Most compliance tech considers a transaction as the movement of value from one account to another. That’s fine for a bank, but it’s not as simple when it comes to someone playing an electronic gaming machine.
The industry needs a solution that understands carded and uncarded gaming sessions, something that can consume both observational and gaming system data, then triangulate all of it back to a single, secure list of members and visitors who’ve been identified and screened against the latest watchlists. Imagine automating live, real-time risk ratings for individual members and visitors.
It’s a solution Cherryhub has partnered with BNDRY to build, using technology proven in the global financial services sector, adapted specifically to meet the needs of clubs and pubs. It’s a game changer, if you’ll pardon the pun.
Available through Cherrycheck and connected to gaming systems, the solution is a single compliance hub that integrates directly into the operational environment of clubs and pubs, enabling capture and storage of member and visitor data, real-time notifications, suspicious activity reporting and much more.
There is a serious focus on gaming compliance and regulation, and there’s more functionality on the way.
BNDRY built a secure and encrypted platform that helps their financial institution customers manage their financial crime risks. This capability is being leveraged with Cherryhub’s deep industry knowledge and access to gaming system data to automate the following key requirements of the AML/CTF Act:
- Know your members and visitors, and know your staff.
- Assign dynamic member and visitor risk ratings.
- Monitor behaviour and transactions to detect anomalies.
- Report to AUSTRAC as and when required by the Act.
- Store your financial crime compliance data securely for seven years.
Cherryhub are showcasing the new platform at the Australasian Gaming Expo.
