FansUnite Entertainment has announced that its subsidiaries Askott Entertainment Inc. and E.G.G. Limited have been granted licenses from the UK Gambling Commission, enabling the Company to serve as a Business-to-Business (B2B) technology provider and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) operator in the UK online gambling market.

These licenses allow FansUnite to supply its B2B wagering platforms to UK sportsbooks and casino operators, and deliver its B2C betting solutions to the UK marketplace. The Company previously announced that it had submitted its license applications on 4 March 2021.

“The approval of both the B2B and B2C licenses represents a significant milestone for us as we can now expand our operations to one of the largest online gambling markets in the world,” Scott Burton, CEO of FansUnite, said.

“The UK Gambling Commission’s approval of our application for these licenses opens the door for FansUnite to showcase the strength and robustness of our advanced technology in this market. As we enter our next phase of global growth, we will look to partner with betting operators in the United Kingdom and deploy our wagering solutions to capitalize on the UK’s large population of online bettors,” Scott Burton added.

SEON Launches Identity Verification Built on Real-Time Fraud Intelligence

Published

SEON, the command centre for real-time fraud prevention and AML compliance, today announced the launch of its AI-powered Identity Verification solution, bringing ID verification, liveness detection and proof of address checks into its unified risk platform. 

Unlike traditional tools that only validate documents, SEON’s solution is built on more than 900 real-time fraud signals, helping organisations assess not just whether an ID is real, but whether the person can be confidently approved based on identity and risk signals. 
 
Most identity verification tools focus on validating documents, but lack the risk context needed to determine whether a user meets an organisation’s risk-based requirements. As a result, both high-quality fakes and legitimate documents used by fraudsters can still pass these basic checks. SEON’s Identity Verification solution addresses this gap by combining core KYC checks with live fraud intelligence. This allows teams to filter out low-risk users through onboarding, while filtering out high-risk users before they consume KYC resources. 
 
The solution supports identity document verification for global government-issued IDs, biometric liveness checks, proof of address verification and optional government database checks. Organisations can build verification workflows tailored to customer segment, risk profile or regulatory requirement, combining fraud signals, identity checks and AML screening based on their specific needs. All identity and fraud signals are surfaced in a single dashboard, reducing friction and eliminating silos among fraud, compliance and risk teams. 
 
“Organisations have told us they’re managing separate tools for fraud detection, identity verification and AML compliance – each with its own data, workflows and operational overhead,” said Tamas Kadar, CEO and Co-Founder, SEON. “We built Identity Verification to bring those decisions together. When you combine AI-powered document checks with real-time fraud intelligence, you stop attacks earlier, reduce wasted KYC spend and make faster, more confident approval decisions with a clear audit trail.” 
 
The initial Identity Verification rollout focuses on Europe’s demanding regulatory environment. SEON worked closely with gaming and betting operators to meet strict compliance requirements while maintaining operational efficiency and improving both conversion and fraud outcomes. The solution strengthens SEON’s position across regulated industries including iGaming, fintech and digital platforms. 
 
“The industry is moving toward bringing identity verification, fraud and AML into one decision layer, and SEON is helping to lead that shift,” said Filip Gvardijan, Head of Fraud Prevention at industry leading operator, Superbet. “That shift matters. It cuts out pointless and expensive KYC cycles on users who were never legitimate, and also clears a faster path for legitimate users, removing a huge amount of avoidable and often manual work.”

NCAA Urges CFTC to Suspend College Sport Prediction Markets

NCAA President Charlie Baker has requested the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the regulatory body that presides over prediction markets, to pause all college sport offerings in prediction markets until the agency implements appropriate regulations.

“Just as we need Congress to stabilize eligibility, we need federal regulators to stabilize these markets. The answer cannot be the status quo. We need one set of fair, transparent standards,” Baker said.

The NCAA sent a letter to the CFTC calling for a robust system of safeguards and detailed its willingness to work with the regulatory body to assist with developing the necessary guardrails to protect student-athletes and college sports. The critical safeguards requested include age and advertising restrictions, enhanced integrity monitoring, prop market prevention, anti-harassment measures, and harm reduction resources.

Protecting competition integrity and student-athlete well-being are of vital importance to the NCAA. The Association has led an unparalleled response to the rapidly evolving sports betting landscape through its use of a layered integrity monitoring program, in-person and online education, state advocacy focused on removing prop bets, anti-harassment monitoring, social change campaigns, and other initiatives.

ADVISORY: ILLEGAL GAMBLING OPERATION USING FORGED COMMISSION CREDENTIALS

Published

on

advisory:-illegal-gambling-operation-using-forged-commission-credentials

The California Gambling Control Commission (Commission) has received information that an illegal gambling operation called California Scratch Card is using the Commission’s name and logo to claim that winners must pay them an “Administrative Processing Fee” imposed by the Commission before they can collect their winnings. Examples are attached to this notice. It appears this illegal gambling operation is primarily operating on Facebook, and may be operating on other social media platforms.

Based on the information the Commission has received, this illegal gambling operation appears to be based in the Philippines and is targeting citizens of the Philippines.

The Commission does not issue, nor has it ever issued, licenses to California Scratch Card or any other similar illegal gambling operations. The Commission does not require “Administrative Processing Fees” or other such fees that these illegal gambling operations claim. The Commission is currently pursuing all available options to address this matter.

Illegal gambling operations such as these are often fronts for scams and thefts, as they can keep a player’s deposited funds, refuse to pay out winnings, or demand payment from the winner before releasing the winnings, and then not release the winnings at all.
