AML/CTF and State Gaming Compliance for Australian Pubs and Clubs
One platform for the dual compliance reality every Australian gaming venue lives. AUSTRAC AML/CTF on one side, state gaming regulators on the other, hospitality compliance underneath – delivered in a single integrated system built specifically for community venues.
One Platform. Seven Connected Modules. Operational AML/CTF.
Patron risk profile feeds the payout window. Transaction monitoring reads from EGM data. SMR pipeline contains the tipping-off boundary. Audit trail records every decision. Not seven separate tools that need integrating – one platform with seven modules across two operating layers.

Built for the Community Venue
Pubs, Clubs, Hotels, RSLs.
Purpose-built for community gaming venues – not casinos, not generic compliance management, not ID-scanning vendors with an AML wrapper.
For Pubs
Hotel licence operators with gaming machines – from single-pub operators to hotel groups. Liquor and gaming compliance integrated, AUSTRAC obligations operationalised, RSA and AML/CTF training tracked together.
For Clubs
Registered clubs, leagues clubs, RSL clubs, and community clubs. Member management alongside AUSTRAC and state gaming compliance. Group oversight for multi-venue club groups; venue-level execution at each location.
State Gaming Compliance Built In
L&GNSW, VGCCC, OLGR, CBS - covered.
Federal AUSTRAC and state gaming regulator obligations live together in the same workflow. Digital Incident Register (NSW), YourPlay tracking (VIC), OLGR records (QLD), and CBS gaming compliance (SA) all in the venue’s existing platform.

The Authority Network
ComplyIQ Doesn't Stand Alone.
The platform sits inside an authority network that spans program design, independent review, and operational delivery. Three independent businesses, one coordinated answer for venues that take compliance seriously.
Program Design
The AML Company
17 years of AUSTRAC consulting for Australian pubs and clubs. Program design, ECDD operationalisation, risk assessment writing, and compliance officer support.
Independent AML/CTF reviews and pre-audit mock reviews. The kind of review AUSTRAC eventually does, conducted privately first so you can fix what they find before the regulator does.
Book a demo to see live patron risk profiles, group oversight, payout-window controls, and the integrated audit trail operating together – the same platform your compliance officer would use on day one.
