Enforcement: How hard does the regulator enforce?

FINTRAC imposed an administrative monetary penalty of CA$399,712.50 on the New Brunswick Lotteries and Gaming Corporation on 24 July 2026, announced 3 September 2026, for non-compliance with Part 1 of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act. The obligation breached was the requirement for a reporting entity to file a suspicious transaction report where there are reasonable grounds to suspect a transaction is related to money laundering or terrorist-activity financing. This is reported as the second Atlantic-region gaming-sector FINTRAC penalty of 2026, following an earlier penalty against Atlantic Lottery Corporation, indicating sustained federal enforcement attention on suspicious-transaction-reporting compliance across the region's provincial lottery and gaming bodies. The maximum sanction figure available under the FINTRAC administrative-monetary-penalty regime for this category of non-compliance was not stated in the source consulted and is not estimated here. No licence-revocation action, criminal referral, or advertising-enforcement event under the Gaming Control Act itself was identified; the exposure identified is specifically federal AML/CFT reporting enforcement against the provincial gaming corporation.
