Loto-Québec reported 395 suspicious transactions made at its casinos and gaming halls in the 2019-2020 fiscal year — up from 254 in 2015-2016. By law, Canadian casinos have to report both suspicious cash transactions and large cash transactions totalling $10,000 or more to the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre (FINTRAC). More suspicious transactions flaggedCBC News has fought to obtain access to the transaction reports Loto-Québec sends to FINTRAC since October 2017. Following the audit, people with ties to organized crime were expelled from Loto-Québec's reward program, and they no longer receive personalized offers. This would improve public confidence and act as a deterrent to organized crime.
