💰 Fraud prevention 👍 Player experience and trust ✅ KYC and AML regulatory compliance As regulatory changes open new doors, biometric technology is positioned to help address these challenges (and more) in fantasy sports, sweepstakes, and online betting. In this Biometric Update recap of our webinar with Aware Partner, SCCG Management, Stephen Crystal shares how biometrics have merely scratched the surface of an online gambling market that is set to explode in the U.S. and beyond. Here's a peek from the article... Crystal calls biometrics an empowering tool – “a technology that enables other powerful technologies.” Relatively new entrants in the gambling sector, particularly sweepstakes and daily fantasy sports (DFS), need tools to address critical issues. Crystal says that often, the first thing new companies say is, “look, we need to onboard a payment processor, we need to have an age verification process. We need to have the ability to make sure there’s not account takeover or fraud happening with our onboarding.” For regulated gambling, compliance is the name of the game. But Crystal notes that, in the gambling context, that can translate to opportunities. “Gambling depends on regulation,” he says. Physical slot machines and tables have to be certified, so gamers know they have a legitimate chance at winning. The same goes for online gaming: players want to interact with trusted platforms. Biometrics is on the table for discussion everywhere you go, and to think that we could be bringing that best-in-class solution to the gambling industry with all of the issues we have to deal with is an amazing opportunity.
