SoftSwiss is proud to announce that in 2020 the company’s anti-fraud and security checks service saved its clients an outstanding amount of 10 million euro.

SoftSwiss anti-fraud service makes part of the 24/7 Customer Support and Player Retention Services available to all SoftSwiss Online Casino Platform clients with careful assistance from our qualified customer support associates.

The service enables bonus abuse checks on players, checking and blocking of duplicate player accounts, further investigation of potential collusions, as well as other abusive behavior. Furthermore, SoftSwiss anti-fraud provides identification and recognition of game patterns used in order to extract benefits. What’s also highly important, it consults on GDPR compliance and data protection. The Anti-Fraud team acts strictly in accordance with the gaming websites’ Terms & Conditions, as well as applicable licensing and regulatory requirements.

One of the great examples of exceptional work done by the SoftSwiss anti-fraud team this year happened when the team received a seemingly regular check request, which ended up being quite an extraordinary one. During the initial check it was found out that the player was an abuser. The team made a decision to request verification of the player’s account including Source of Funds / Source of Wealth, as these documents are not commonly asked and therefore are not included in a common package of documents bought on the black market. The player uploaded all of the documents the next day, which should have made us believe they were genuine. Nevertheless, during the detailed document check it was noticed that the player’s language in e-wallet and their native language were different raising a suspicion that the player was a drop once again. Due to that, the player was asked to pass Skype verification. Finally, during the verification call it was concluded that the player was not an account owner but a drop.

Vitali Matsukevich, Head of B2C at SoftSwiss noted: “We are ecstatic that our team managed to save the day this year with such a large amount of money retained for our clients. Everyday we carefully look into all suspicious activities happening on our Platform and combat fraud, using a lot of different tools and methods. We keep on working on even more fascinating AI projects in cooperation with the Data Science and Platform Development teams. And thanks to that in the coming year we expect to increase efficiency and security of business operations for our clients”.

Kazakhstan Orders Telecom Providers to Block Illegal Online Casino Payments via Mobile Balances

Kazakhstan authorities have moved to tighten controls on illegal online gambling payments after uncovering schemes that use mobile phone balances to fund unlicensed casino activity.

The Financial Monitoring Agency (FMA) issued instructions to telecom providers to strengthen monitoring and introduce systems to detect and block suspicious transactions.

According to the FMA, mobile operators including Tele2, Altel, Beeline, Kcell and Activ were called to a working meeting where regulators demonstrated how illicit payment flows to online casinos are being processed.

To verify the issue, the FMA carried out test purchases across 10 illegal online casino websites using services from all major mobile operators. The tests confirmed that payments via mobile balances were possible.

The agency stated that the goal is to cut off financial access to illegal operators and reduce public exposure to unregulated platforms. Further enforcement actions are expected as monitoring continues.

Meanwhile, Kazakhstan is preparing to significantly tighten rules on the promotion of illegal gambling. A group of senators is advancing an initiative to introduce criminal penalties for influencers who advertise online casinos and organise “giveaways.”

In related developments, a Kazakhstani influencer has recently been arrested in Vietnam on suspicion of running an illegal gambling operation.

Furthermore, the country is also restricting citizens’ access to legal gambling options, indicating a broader anti-gambling stance towards locals while still pursuing gambling tourism.

Lawmakers introduced rules restricting access to casinos, slot machine halls and betting venues in several regions to foreign nationals only. The changes will take effect on 17 May.

In March, President Tokayev signed a law establishing four new gambling zones for foreigners in the country.
