EvenBet Gaming analysed the most well-known AML/KYC/anti-fraud solutions in the iGaming industry

Evenbet has shared the results of the analysis of KYC services provided by the most well-known technology suppliers in the iGaming industry.

Financial crime risks are growing in iGaming and every year it becomes more important to have tools to reduce risks.

The AML program helps to spot and take precautions to reduce risks. iGaming operators have the responsibility to implement AML controls for new users. 

KYC procedures are performed during the customer onboarding process and are required for user ID identification control and risk estimation during account registration. 

Due to this situation, Evenbet Gaming made an overview of KYC services provided by the most well-known technology suppliers in the iGaming industry.

“The idea behind this comparison was at first to look for the KYC solutions most suitable for our customers, but after all, we have decided to make it open to help those who are looking for the best service provider,” stated EvenBet Gaming CEO Dmitry Starostenkov.

The pain point is that regulators fine and impose penalties on the businesses which do not meet AML requirements. 

The United States, Switzerland, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates top Fenegro’s list of 31 countries that had issued most of the fines. The recent report shows how much the following countries accumulated.

EvenBet Gaming has studied more on AML/KYC/anti-fraud solutions the most reputed companies in the market offer. The company comparer used technologies, solutions for a variety of needs, USP, and more, to choose the best one.

Conclusion

All of the companies above have up-to-date technologies and provide a number of solutions for AML / KYC / anti-fraud procedures. The cost of services in each company is calculated for each customer individually – depending on its needs, regulations, and the market.

Leveraged technologies are rather substantial, but there are nuances in the services. An operator should focus on them, taking into account the needs of their own business. For some operators, these features may be critical, and there are discrepancies on them among providers.

EvenBet Gaming pays special attention to regulatory compliance, so operators have all tools to run the business safely and for their users to pass the KYC procedures with ease.
