How to reduce bonus abuse in Gambling & Gaming?

Bonus abuse is a persistent challenge in the Gambling & Gaming sector, where marketing strategies such as welcome bonuses often become a target for fraudsters. This phenomenon results in significant financial losses for businesses and jeopardises the sustainability of their promotional strategies. 

What is bonus abuse? 

Bonus abuse occurs when fraudsters register multiple times on a platform to repeatedly claim bonuses intended for new users. This is typically achieved using fake, stolen, or synthetic identities. 

The most commonly exploited types of bonuses include: 

  • No-deposit sign-up bonuses: Free spins or cash awarded upon registration. 

  • Reload bonuses: Incentives offered to encourage existing players to make additional deposits. 

  • Referral programmes: Fraudsters generate fake traffic to claim rewards. 

This issue impacts businesses not only financially but also in terms of reputation and compliance. It undermines their ability to meet regulations such as Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML). 

How can bonus abuse be prevented? 

Implementing advanced digital identity verification and multi-biometric authentication technologies c can have a significant impact. 

Whether it’s during the onboarding process or at the point of fund withdrawal, our technology ensures a seamless and secure experience. By cross-referencing information with public and private databases, it prevents individuals from creating multiple accounts on the platform or withdrawing funds undetected.
