Breaking a transaction into multiple sub-threshold pieces to avoid the AUD 10,000 TTR trigger. An offence under s.142 of the AML/CTF Act 2006. Common gaming-venue pattern: multiple sub-$10,000 cash buy-ins by the same patron in a single session, sometimes across separate machines or staff members. A standard SMR-trigger indicator.

This term sits in the AML/CTF section of the working glossary — vocabulary that recurs across the AUSTRAC reporting-entity regime, the AML/CTF Act 2006, and the AML/CTF Rules 2025.
