Abstract:	Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the “relationship” between the regulated online gambling sector in Great Britain and potential for money laundering. Design/methodology/approach – Direct “negotiated” access and a snowball sample were used to secure five interviews with gambling personnel. Findings – The paper shows that respected online gambling sites in highly regulated jurisdictions are helping in tackling money laundering. Research limitations/implications – Only a limited number of people were interviewed. Originality/value – The paper presents interviews with key personnel in the gambling industry, in anti-money laundering, fraud and integrity units.
