Western Australia's casino operator will face maximum penalties of up to $100 million for failing to comply with regulations under new laws.
A royal commission this year found Crown Resorts was unsuitable to run the state's Online Casino but gave the operator two years to clean up its act under independent monitoring.
It found Crown and its subsidiaries facilitated money laundering at the casino, failed to implement systems to detect suspicious transactions and permitted junkets with criminal links to operate at the Burswood complex.
The McGowan government will introduce new legislation to parliament on Wednesday addressing the commission's recommendations.
It will enable an independent chair to be appointed to WA's gaming regulator Online Casino who will oversee the casino's remediation process.
The maximum fine for Online Casino non-compliance with WA regulations will increase from $100,000 to $100 million.
Racing and Gaming Minister Tony Buti said the legislation would allow the government to hold the casino operator to account.
