Online Gambling Fraud Prevention

The popularity of online gambling is a growing global phenomenon. The amount of money exchanging hands in this sector is not escaping the notice of fraudsters, who are targeting it with increasingly complex attack methods.

As consumers increasingly gamble across devices, operators are faced with the challenge of providing an online platform which not only offers users a differentiated customer experience, but also delivers on safety and compliance. To facilitate meaningful engagement on their platforms, operators must identify and stop all fraudsters before they can pollute the online gambling ecosystem.

Arkose Labs Solution for Gambling Operators

Arkose Labs protects gambling platforms from large-scale fraud attacks and malicious automated traffic. While trusted users can interact with the platform unchallenged, fraudsters are presented with targeted authentication which is tailored to their risk profile.

The Arkose Labs Fraud and Abuse Prevention Platform uses continuous intelligence to assess the risk associated with each user and presents adaptive challenges to risky traffic, stopping fraud. Its unified approach evolves with changing attack patterns and keeps good user experience front and center in order to support customer engagement levels on gambling applications.

The platform is based on two interconnected components — Arkose Detect and Arkose Enforce. Arkose Detect is a dynamic risk engine that analyzes data from live user sessions to feed real-time insights into Arkose Enforce, the challenge-response mechanism. Arkose Detect uses deep device and network forensics, behavioral analytics, continuous intelligence, and historical attack pattern calibration to detect even the most subtle signs of fraud. Traffic is triaged based on its risk profile and Arkose Enforce presents dynamic challenges that increase in complexity with the risk of the user.

Arkose Labs’ innovative enforcement challenges negate the risk of defenses being scripted around at scale. While genuine consumers find the challenges fun and simple to complete, fraudsters are forced to spend more time and resources to clear the challenges at scale. This slashes their return on investment, compelling them to to abandon attacks.

Solution Highlights

Eliminate All Automated Attacks

Online gambling companies are targeted with high volumes of basic automated attacks as well as more sophisticated trained bots. Arkose Labs' unique Acid Test differentiates between all human and automated traffic with tailored challenges that cause automated attacks to spontaneously fail.

Prevent Chip Dumping and Collusion

Online gambling platforms are vulnerable to collusion in multi-player games and chip dumping, when criminals use the platforms to move money. Arkose Labs provides insight into suspicious device identifiers and user behavior combined with friction to deter cybercriminals from targeting the platform.

Detect New Account Fraud and Bonus Abuse

Many gambling sites offer free bets for new customers, so the onboarding process is a critical touchpoint. Arkose Labs’ platform detects fake new users using stolen or synthesized credentials, providing independent identity insights and fraud data crowdsourced from a global network.

Protect Against Account Takeover

Hacking into account enables fraudsters to steal winnings, compromise payment and identity credentials and carry out abuse from trusted accounts. Arkose Labs adds a powerful layer of security into the account login stage, protecting against credential injections and mass logins from sweatshops.
