A crime admitted by company providing better accommodation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

casino

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'better accommodation' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'a crime admitted by company' is the wordplay.
'crime' becomes 'sin'.
'admitted by' indicates putting letters inside.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'a'+'sin'='asin'
'asin' going inside 'co' is 'CASINO'.

'providing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for casino that I've seen before include "Where some gamblers go" , "Gambling establishment" , "Las Vegas establishment" , "gambling-place" , "Gaming house" .)
