So looks like a kind of betting offices scheme:

Yes, betting offices can be used as a vehicle for
money laundering by criminal organizations, including
the mafia. They provide opportunities to disguise
illicit gains as legitimate income, leveraging their
high cash flow and minimal regulatory oversight in
some regions. Here's how it often works:

Placement: Criminals deposit dirty money by
purchasing large amounts of betting slips or
placing high-stake bets, which can later
be cashed out.

Layering: They manipulate bets to ensure some
"wins," creating the appearance of legitimate income.

Integration: Once the money has been "won," it
appears clean and can be deposited into the banking
system without raising suspicion.

Additionally:

Online betting platforms provide anonymity and
global reach, making detection more difficult.
Shell companies linked to betting establishments
may further obscure the trail. Governments and
financial institutions are increasingly aware of
these schemes, with stricter regulations like
"Know Your Customer" (KYC) and reporting suspicious
transactions helping to mitigate such practices.

However, enforcement varies significantly by jurisdiction.
