VICTORIA — New rules to fight money laundering at provincial casinos will apply universally, British Columbia’s attorney general says.

David Eby said Monday he can’t comment on private issues that occur in casinos, but stresses there are no exceptions to rules requiring gamblers to disclose sources of cash deposits of more than $10,000.

Canadian superstar singer Drake posted on his Instagram over the weekend that he was prevented from gambling at the Parq Vancouver casino while he was in the city to perform two concerts.

Drake called it “the worst-run business I have ever witnessed … profiling me and not allowing me to gamble when I had everything they originally asked me for.”

Parq Vancouver says in statements it stands against racism of any kind and always follows provincial rules.

Eby, who didn’t name Drake during his comments, said new rules to verify sources of cash at casinos have sharply cut suspicious gambling transactions.
