AML

AML (Anti-Money-Laundering)

AML stands for Anti-Money-Laundering and refers to the policies, procedures, and technical controls that regulated platforms use to prevent, detect, and report proceeds of illicit activity. On prediction-market platforms and other trading venues AML programs are implemented alongside KYC (Know Your Customer) processes to meet legal and regulatory obligations.

In context

You’ll most commonly encounter AML on regulated services that offer on‑ramps, fiat rails, or custody. AML measures can include transaction monitoring, suspicious-activity reporting, customer risk scoring, enhanced due diligence for high-risk users, and automated screening against sanction lists. On Polymarket specifically, AML is a compliance concept that is typically paired with KYC on regulated venues or product rails; PolyArb’s focus remains on intra-Polymarket arbitrage and the canonical glossary entry for KYC (see related terms) explains the user-identification side of that compliance pair.
