The FATF lists — where AML risk is flagged

How to read this
FATF monitoring status of every listed jurisdiction, from the latest plenary. It is drawn from FATF’s own plenary statements (19 June 2026); the lists change roughly three times a year, and this view is re-checked against each plenary. FATF status is an AML/CFT signal, not a statement about whether gambling is legal — but it shapes where operators can bank, process payments and take players, and how hard due diligence must look. See what has moved recently in The Ledger.
Reference, kept current. Figures are our editorial reading of primary sources, dated and re-verified on a fixed cadence. The lists change each FATF plenary; always confirm against FATF’s own current statement before relying on it. 18+.
