BNDRY

The AML Compliance platform, tailored to Australia’s pubs and clubs

Australia’s pubs and clubs are under growing pressure to strengthen their financial crime compliance programs under the AML/CTF Act. AUSTRAC’s CEO has raised serious concerns about money laundering risks in the sector, already taking enforcement actions against venues that fall short.

The problem is, most compliance technology is built for banks, leaving hospitality venues struggling with fragmented, costly, and complex systems that aren't designed for how gaming operations actually work.

One of the biggest challenges is automating transaction monitoring. In banking, a transaction is the transfer of value between accounts—but in gaming, it’s far more complex. Clubs and pubs must monitor both carded and uncarded play, where identifying who is behind the activity and assessing their risk becomes difficult. What’s needed is technology that can combine data from gaming systems and in-venue observations, reconcile it to verified member and visitor profiles, screened against the latest watchlists—all in real time.

To meet this challenge, BNDRY has partnered with Cherryhub to build a compliance hub tailored to the industry. Powered by BNDRY’s bank-grade security, the solution integrates directly with Cherryhub to access gaming machine system data, member and visitor data, and floor staff observational data, to automate the daily operational tasks of a robust financial crime compliance program—all in one single operational dashboard.

Assist: The Missing Player in Safer Gambling — Empowering Supporters to Stop Harm Before It Spirals

Most gambling-harm prevention models focus on operators, regulators, and people who gamble. The group with the most day-to-day influence — family, friends, partners, and coaches, collectively “supporters” — is still missing from the picture. Supporters notice risks early, absorb emotional and financial impacts, and often intervene long before services do, yet remain largely unseen and unsupported.

Anita argues that meaningful harm reduction requires elevating this overlooked pillar. Her book Assist was written to close that gap, offering practical, evidence-informed guidance drawn from behavioural science and her lived experience as the spouse of someone experiencing gambling harm.

In her Pitch! session, Anita explores:

The role of supporters
Why supporters are the most accurate early-risk detectors and the most motivated influence in someone’s recovery.

Tools that make a difference
Communication approaches, boundary-setting strategies, and early-risk identification methods that help supporters act effectively without compromising their wellbeing.

How the sector can respond
Steps regulators, operators, and community services can take to integrate supporters into harm-prevention systems and build more human-centred pathways to help.

This session positions supporter empowerment as the next frontier in harm minimisation — a shift that enables earlier intervention, more effective protection, and a safer, more compassionate gambling environment.

PaySafeGo

A purpose-built AML/CTF solution for gaming venues

PaySafeGo (PSG) is a RegTech startup and strategic spin-off from RedeemX, built on more than 20 years of experience in the Australian gaming and hospitality industry, integrating with most major loyalty and CMS platforms. PaySafeGo is a separate business dedicated exclusively to AML/CTF compliance. It carries forward the same values, expertise, and trusted team now focused specifically on regulatory technology.

In today’s data-privacy–driven and cyber-threat–intensive environment, reducing the number of systems handling sensitive information is not just operationally efficient — it is sound risk management. A single, integrated platform lowers exposure points where data can be lost, misrouted, duplicated, or compromised. Fewer integrations mean fewer vulnerabilities, stronger data integrity, and clearer accountability.

A well-designed RegTech solution should not simply add cost; it should streamline compliance. By automating data capture, monitoring, and escalation workflows, venues can manage by exception rather than by manual effort. PSG enables organisations to minimise operational overhead, reduce compliance risk, improve accuracy, and retain control over key decisions — delivering efficient, confident, and cost-effective AML/CTF management.

AI powered revolution: transforming financial crime operations

Autonomous agents transform today’s operations and financial crime business processes and workflows can be automated with collaborative autonomous or semi-supervised AI agents.

See the potential of using a platform that provides pre-built agents and “Bring Your Own” Agent capabilities.

Autonomous Agents are systems that reason, make decisions, have a memory to learn, and take actions without direct human intervention. They’re powered by large language models (LLMs) with domain and company specific knowledge, they use tools such as databases, perform web searches, and write and execute code to enable data aggregation, analytics, and content creation.

Imagine a new age of multi-agent environments, where two or more agents communicate and work together to solve more challenging and complex problems. Each agent has specialised skills, knowledge, and tools and can be deployed in parallel. And your key resources move from activity to risk management and guide the agents to consistent and quality outcomes.

And moving beyond financial crime - train agents with written policies, examples, and training material that you would use to train employees.

We are developing and validating Agents with lighthouse customers. Come to discover an opportunity for co-development and transform your operations.
