Script kiddies, black hat hackers, bonus abusers, or social engineers \u2013 call them what you want, but these titles are a fraud prevention expert’s worst nightmare, because they’re all types of cybercriminals, and they’ve all got their sights set on big-money industries like online gaming, fantasy sports, and digital casinos.<\/p>

Worldwide users are discovering the entertaining world of online gaming, allowing these digital industries to experience incredible growth: The global online gambling market is enjoying an incredible 13.2% compound annual growth rate<\/a>, and if mobile gaming maintains its current trajectory, its market value should generate more than $117 billion by 2025. As these popular industries continue to experience rapid growth, both in user interactions and digital transactions, businesses of any size become increasingly vulnerable to attack.<\/p>

Fraud within the online casinos and fantasy sports sectors encompasses a range of malicious activities, including identity theft, payment fraud, account takeover, and various forms of cheating. These attacks not only jeopardize the safety and reputation of your business, they also put your customers at risk.<\/p>

But what can be done to stop them? Cybercriminals will always exist, and as technology advances, so do their turncoat tools. Truthfully, the best defense against these phishers and fraudsters is not to play small, but to come out swinging. When your company shows up to the online fight ready to defend itself and its customers with the finest fraud prevention systems in town, you can outwit cyberthieves at every turn.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"Identity<\/p>

Digital gaming industries like fantasy sports and online casinos face significant financial and reputational risks, making effective fraud prevention strategies critical to their ongoing success and growth. Spotting potential fraud attempts is key to protecting yourself and your customers. To familiarize yourself with the most common forms of online fraud, let’s take a closer look at how and when your business could be attacked.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\"Payment<\/p>

In this type of cybercrime, fraudsters may attempt to steal identifying personal information from online game players in order to create fraudulent accounts or make unauthorized transactions. This can lead to financial losses for both players and businesses, as well as damage to the reputation of the affected platforms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\"ATO(account<\/p>

Commonly known as ATO, account takeover fraud is a common scam in which criminals gain unauthorized access to players’ accounts, often through phishing or hacking. Once in<\/p>

control of an account, fraudsters can use their access to make unauthorized transactions, steal funds, and engage in other illegal activities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\"transaction<\/p>

Within the online casino, i-Gaming, and fantasy sports realms, transaction fraud includes any unauthorized purchases, payments, or transfers that cybercriminals make using the stolen credentials of game players. Transaction fraud can be attempted when credit card information is illegally obtained, loopholes in payment systems are exploited, or game outcomes are manipulated for financial gain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\"multiple<\/p>

To give themselves unfair online gaming or gambling advantages, fraudsters might create multiple accounts using fake credentials. This action can lead to bonus abuse, where criminals cheat the system to snag benefits intended for first-time users. Multiple account fraud can also spiral into illegal game collusion and other forms of cheating that undermine the integrity of the games and the platforms hosting them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Whether you partner with an identity verification professional like EVS or install and manage a fraud prevention system on your own, the critical component here is to make sure you have comprehensive protection. This means that your customers not only need strong passwords and two-step authentication when logging into your platform, but you also need to shore up your back-end development with advanced, automated tools that can detect suspicious activity before it even begins.<\/p>

For example, ATOs can be found and dismantled using device intelligence, which leverages geo locations to identify user devices and then flag any atypical device locations during transactions. Chargebacks can be prevented by confirming player identities through the use of biometric markers like user behavior and keystroke or mouse-use patterns. Sounds simple enough, right? So where can you find these comprehensive, feature-rich products to keep your business safe?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
