Scout Gaming Group leverages GBG technology to enhance affordability checks
Scout Gaming Group has joined forces with GBG, the experts in digital identity, to further enhance its commitment to responsible gaming. Scout Gaming will leverage GBG’s technology to automate affordability checks so that it can better protect players from gambling beyond their means.
Scout Gaming is committed to offering a great customer experience, while safeguarding all players. By leveraging GBG’s identity verification, affordability and anti-fraud solutions, Scout Gaming will be able to:
- Leverage geo-affordability indicators: Assess a player’s risk of gambling beyond their means based on postcode-level data, such as their area’s average property values and typical negative financial indicators.
- Improve compliance and prevent money laundering: GBG’s technology ensures that identities are quickly and securely verified, while any Know Your Customer or Anti-Money Laundering issues are flagged instantly.
- Deliver a smooth customer onboarding experience: GBG’s affordability checks run in the background in real-time, ensuring that Scout Gaming can minimise friction for players and improve the customer experience. Scout Gaming is also replacing manual document checks with GBG’s IDScan – a digital solution that automates the verification process – making it easier for Scout Gaming to onboard the ‘good’ players and identify the ‘bad’ actors in real-time.
Andreas Sundal, Chief Product Officer at Scout Gaming Group, said: “Scout Gaming is committed to a best-in-class approach to compliance. GBG’s extensive experience in the sector and its smart technology, allows us to deliver exactly that while making it easier to maintain, manage and improve our KYC and AML processes.”
Amy Watkins, Gaming Sector Specialist and New Business Development Manager at GBG, said: “Automating the identity verification process of players is becoming vital in the fiercely competitive gaming sector, not just to meet regulatory requirements and mitigate fraud, but to deliver the very best customer experience too. We’ve worked with Scout Gaming to deliver a tailored solution that will ensure it can quickly and securely verify an individual and make the on-boarding process as smooth as possible. The company will also be able to flag potential issues, whether that be fraud or affordability, in real-time.”

Stake.com enjoys major growth surge during IPL after adding Indian rupees
Stake has witnessed unprecedented levels of sports betting activity during the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL).
The operator customised its global sportsbook for cricket-crazy customers this season by enabling deposits in Indian rupees (INR) for the very first time.
The Indian rupee is the latest of six fiat currencies available on the flagship Stake.com sportsbook, as well as 20 cryptocurrencies.
The currency integration was launched in tandem with a generous promo, which saw punters paid out as winners, even if their team went on to lose the match, as long as they managed to hit a six during the first four overs.
The only stipulation was that bets must have been placed in INR with a maximum payout of up to US$25.
This occurred during 30 of 48 selected IPL matches, or 63%, leading to handsome rewards for punters who took advantage of the offer.
The bets would have been settled as losses on any other platform, but instead resulted in an extra US$30m of winnings for Stake customers.
The promotion also served as a savvy customer acquisition strategy. More than 80% of users to have redeemed the offer were new to Stake as first time depositors.
“We are constantly striving to improve our product and want to make Stake easily accessible to as many players as possible,” said Stake’s director of commercial Jarrod Febbraio.
“With more than US$100m wagered this season alone, the IPL is soaring in popularity, and so is Stake.
“We wanted to spice things up for the 2024 season, and this promotion was perfect for our customers who don’t like cricket, they love it,” he added.
The IPL is the most popular cricket league in the world. The current season ends on Sunday 26 May.
