London-registered Shufti Pro launched an AI-supported transaction monitoring system on September 10, 2026, for gambling operators serving Great Britain. The launch comes as the Gambling Commission classifies remote casino, betting and bingo as high-risk sectors for money laundering.

Shufti said its Transaction Trust Monitoring product links transaction alerts to identities verified during customer onboarding. It routes cases through controlled investigations and prepares reports for review by a money-laundering reporting officer.

The company said the system does not replace human judgment. A designated officer must review and approve any report before further action is taken.

The technology may automate detection and case preparation, but licensed operators remain responsible for the decisions made under their anti-money laundering controls.

What the system does

According to Shufti’s September 10 product announcement, the platform scores transactions against identity and compliance information collected during onboarding. It is designed to connect suspicious activity with a customer record rather than treat each transaction as an isolated alert.

  • Transaction alerts are linked to verified customer identities.
  • Cases move through role-controlled investigation workflows.
  • Reports can be prepared for approval by a money-laundering reporting officer.
  • Operators retain responsibility for the final decision.

Shufti Pro Limited remains an active private company registered at Coppergate House in London. Companies House lists its business activities as software development and data processing.

The Companies House record does not establish that Shufti Pro holds a Gambling Commission operating licence.

Why Great Britain is a target market

The Gambling Commission published its 2026 money-laundering and terrorist-financing risk assessment on July 30. The assessment covers licensed gambling in Great Britain and examines risks during the period from April 1, 2023, to October 31, 2025.

It rates remote casino, betting and bingo as high-risk sectors. The Commission identifies remote verification limits, fraudulent documents, mule accounts, multiple payment methods and the growing use of artificial intelligence to bypass know-your-customer controls as relevant risks.

The assessment is a regulatory risk document. It is not a new law or a new licence condition. It is intended to inform operators’ own risk assessments and the Commission’s supervision and enforcement work.

Operators still carry the legal burden

Licence condition 12.1.1 requires gambling licensees to assess their exposure to money laundering and terrorist financing. They must maintain suitable policies, procedures and controls, implement them effectively and review them when circumstances change.

An automated monitoring tool cannot transfer those obligations to its supplier. The operator must determine whether the system identifies relevant risks, produces usable evidence and supports the controls required under its licence.

For British operators, the key test will be whether AI helps reduce missed warnings without creating a new layer of unchecked automated decisions. The Gambling Commission’s rules continue to place accountability on the licensee and its compliance leadership.

Adoption remains unconfirmed

Shufti’s announcement describes the product’s capabilities but does not identify a Great Britain gambling operator using the system. It therefore confirms a compliance technology launch, not deployment across the British licensed market.

For operators serving Great Britain, the practical issue is control quality. Any new monitoring technology must fit the operator’s written risk assessment, customer due diligence process, escalation rules and reporting arrangements.
