The British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) is being given more authoritative power to impose fines and revoke casino operators’ licenses in a fight against money laundering activities. The British Columbia recently-elected government agreed to reorganize the regulator’s responsibilities and give it more power to oversee B.C. gambling operations and impose hefty sanctions on the wrongdoers. The move comes as part of the province’s anti-money laundering campaign that aims at sweeping dirty cash from casinos.
