Anti-money laundering entry on my credit report.

Hi. Applying for a mortgage so I have been looking through my credit report from Noodle and under the 'search history' section of the report there are 9 Anti-money laundering entries all from Corals bookmakers. Obviously concerned about this so I rang them up and they said i tried opening an account with them although already having one with them. I actually recall trying to open the new account in March to take advantage of an offer but i remember having trouble trying to use the offer and in the end i left it. The guy on the phone said that the search is just for identification (like similar entries that are under the 'search history') and because i made multiple attempts to open a new account that's why there's multiple entries but he said it nothing to worry about! This just doesn't seem right to me why would it be under the title 'Anti-money laundering' and not 'identification check' as others do like when taking out car insurance. I'm worried now this is why my credit score is only 3/5, my credit score should be good. I am not in my overdraft and i have made all credit card payments without default. Can anyone shed any light on this please i have a screen shot available if needed. Thanks.

Hi I know nothing about this but had time on my hands and googled it , from what I bread they are just identy searches and are not visible to potential lenders .. They have no effect on your rating, I found this from a thread on here go into search bar of all forums and type I'm money laundering credit files or google it xx hope this helps I worried about every little thing when selling/ buying it's very stressful xx
