There is a big list of RED FLAGS which may indicate the money laundering risk, some are already highlighted in the answers from Georgei and Venkataraman.

The following are a few more examples of ML trends:

1. Under or over invoicing of Trade finance products.
2. Complex corporate organisation structures to hide the ultimate beneficial owners.
3. Speculations, quick movement of large amount of funds from different countries.
4. Several small amount of outward TTs to various people (Hawala)
5. Cuckoo snurfing, exchange companies to arrange big denominations against deposit of small denominations for illegal cash smuggling.
6. Using Casino, luxury cars, Insurance companies and precious stones/metal/bullion dealers for ML purposes.

There are numerous indicators which may act as ‘red flags’ for reporting entities to identify potential money laundering or terrorism financing activity.

Although a single indicator does not necessarily indicate illicit activity, the existence of a ‘red flag’ indicator should encourage further monitoring and examination. In most cases it is the existence of multiple indicators that raises a reporting entity’s suspicion of potential criminal activity, and influences their response to the situation.

Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) officers should include these money laundering/terrorism financing indicators in staff training, and encourage their staff to use these indicators when describing suspicious behaviours for inclusion in suspect transaction or suspicious matter reports.

To be honest, I don't quite understand why the fact that a client is a known frequent gambler or high roller at a casino is a money laundering indicator. I play Casinos-NL myself, and I really want to know what's wrong with it because it's not bad for me at all, it's just entertaining, sometimes profitable, and 100% legal.
