Region one: Low risk:

For every nation from the region one the three-step verification is done as described earlier.

Region two: Medium risk:

Region three: High risk:

Regions of high risks will be banned. High risk regions will be regularly updated to keep up with the changing environment of a fast-changing world.

Additional measurements.

In addition, an AI which is overseen by the AML compliance officer will look for any unusual behaviour and report it right away to a employee of www.miki.com

According to a risk based few and general experience the human employees will recheck all checks which are done bevor by the AI or other employees and may redo or do additional checks according to the situation.

In addition, a data Scientist supported by modern, electronic, analytic systems will look for unusual behaviour like: Depositing and withdrawing without longer Betting sessions. Attempts to use a different Bank account to for Deposit and Withdraw, nationality changes, currency changes, behaviour and activity changes as well as checks, if an account is used by it´s original owner.

Also a User has to use the same method for Withdraw as he used for Deposit, for the amount of the initial Deposit to prevent any Money Laundering.

Enterprise-wide risk assessment

As part of its risk-based approach, www.miki.com has conducted an AML “Enterprise-wide risk assessment” (EWRA) to identify and understand risks specific to www.miki.com and its business lines. The AML risk policy is determined after identifying and documenting the risks inherent to its business lines such as the services the website offers. The Users to whom services are offered, transactions performed by these Users, delivery channels used by the bank, the geographic locations of the bank’s operations, customers and transactions and other qualitative and emerging risks.

The identification of AML risk categories is based on www.miki.com understanding of regulatory requirements, regulatory expectations and industry guidance. Additional safety measures are taken to take care of the additional risks the world wide web brings with it.

The EWRA is yearly reassessed.

Ongoing transaction monitoring

AML-Compliance ensures that an “ongoing transaction monitoring” is conducted to detect transactions which are unusual or suspicious compared to the customer profile.
This transaction monitoring is conducted on two levels:

1) The first Line of Control:

www.miki.com works solely with trusted Payment Service Providers whom all have effective AML policies in place as to prevent the large majority of suspicious deposits onto www.miki.com from taking place without proper execution of KYC procedures onto the potential customer.

2) The second Line of Control:

www.miki.com makes its network aware so that any contact with the customer or player or authorized representative must give rise to the exercise of due diligence on transactions on the account concerned. In particular these include:

       Requests for the execution of financial transactions on the account;

       Requests in relation to means of payment or services on the account;

Also, the three-step verification with adjusted risk management should provide all necessary information’s about all costumers of www.miki.com at all time.

Also, all transaction must be overseen by employees over watched by the AML compliance officer who is over watched by the general management.

The specific transactions submitted to the customer support manager, possibly through their Compliance Manager must also be subject to due diligence.

Determination of the unusual nature of one or more transactions essentially depends on a subjective assessment, in relation to the knowledge of the customer (KYC), their financial behaviour and the transaction counterparty.

These checks will be done by an automated System, while an Employee crosschecks them for additional security.

The transactions observed on customer accounts for which it is difficult to gain a proper understanding of the lawful activities and origin of funds must therefore rapidly be considered atypical (as they are not directly justifiable).

Any www.miki.com staff member must inform the AML division of any atypical transactions which they observe and cannot attribute to a lawful activity or source of income known of the customer.

3) The third Line of Control:

As a last line of defence against AML www.miki.com will do manually checks on all suspicious and higher risk users in order to fully prevent money laundering.

If fraud or Money Laundering is found the authorities will be informed.

Reporting of Suspicious transactions on www.miki.com

In its internal procedures, www.miki.com describes in precise terms, for the attention of its staff members, when it is necessary to report and how to proceed with such reporting.

Reports of atypical transactions are analysed within the AML team in accordance with the precise methodology fully described in the internal procedures.

Depending on the result of this examination and on the basis of the information gathered, the AML team:

       will decide whether it is necessary or not to send a report to the FIU, in accordance with the legal obligations provided in the Law of 18 September 2017;

       will decide whether or not it is necessary to terminate the business relations with the customer.

Procedures

The AML rules, including minimum KYC standards will be translated into operational guidance or procedures that are available on the Intranet site of www.miki.com

Record keeping

Records of data obtained for the purpose of identification must be kept for at least ten years after the business relationship has ended.

Records of all transaction data must be kept for at least ten years following the carrying-out of the transactions or the end of the business relationship.

These data will be safely, encrypted stored offline and online.

Training:

www.miki.com human employees will make manual controls on a risk based approve for which they get special training.

The training and awareness program is reflected by its usage:

-  A mandatory AML training program in accordance with the latest regulatory evolutions, for all in touch with finances

-  Academic AML learning sessions for all new employees

The content of this training program has to be established in accordance with the kind of business the trainees are working for and the posts they hold. These sessions are given by an AML-specialist working in Novi B.V. AML team.

Auditing

Data Security:

All data given by any user/customer will be kept secure, will not be sold or given to anyone else. Only if forced by law, or to prevent money laundering data may be shared with the AML-authority of the affected state.
