Sumsub and Casino Guru launch an online course on KYC/AML for gambling platforms
An all-in-one verification platform joins forces with an independent online casino database to educate businesses on user onboarding and antifraud in the gambling industry
Sumsub, an all-in-one verification provider, has partnered with Casino Guru, a leading online casino database and global gambling authority, to create an online course for gambling platforms titled “iGaming Player Verification and AML”. The course is available for free and focuses on user onboarding, AML/KYC requirements and gambling compliance.
Online gambling is evolving, and regulations change all the time, putting casinos at risk of penalties for non-compliance. In December, Star Entertainment Group, an Australian gambling company, was fined $67.92 million (AU$100 million) by the Queensland regional government due to AML failures. Such sanctions are coupled with the possibility of license suspension or revocation, threatening to destroy platforms’ operational integrity and reputation. So staying compliant is now existential for gambling businesses worldwide, which is why the “iGaming Player Verification and AML” course is in high demand for online casino operators.
The course is a product of the Casino Guru Academy, a Casino Guru initiative aimed at improving the online casino industry through education, promoting fairness, and finding new ways to better protect players from gambling-related harm. It is the fourth course released by the platform, with previous ones dedicated to safer gambling, customer support and casino bonuses.
Sumsub’s gambling and compliance experts have largely contributed to the content of the course, offering insights on how to create effective and AML-compliant user verification flows while keeping conversion high, the common mistakes gambling platforms make and how to avoid them, and ways to deal with problematic player behavior. Sumsub’s experts have also contributed an identity verification checklist to the course, further helping businesses optimize their KYC flows and create the perfect customer journeys.
“Joining forces with Casino Guru to create an online course for casinos and gambling operators is the perfect opportunity for Sumsub to share our compliance, anti-fraud and verification expertise with industry players, as well as promote fair and responsible gambling. This contributes to making the online space safer for everyone–an ambitious goal that truly aligns with our company’s mission. The recommendations our experts share in the course will help businesses avoid painful fines and reputational damage”, says Andrew Sever, co-founder and CEO of Sumsub.
“At Casino Guru, we strongly believe that education is one of the main pillars of sustainable and safer gambling. That’s the main reason why we decided to create the Casino Guru Academy in the first place – to reflect our experience from dealing with player complaints and share that knowledge with the rest of the industry. We’re happy that Sumsub has decided to contribute to this player verification course, as their expert knowledge and experience has proven to be invaluable for it. And since all of our courses are free, I hope this one brings great value to anyone looking to expand their knowledge,” adds Šimon Vincze, Sustainable and Safer Gambling Lead at Casino Guru.
