iDenfy partners with Fincapital Partners to provide automated KYC and AML checks
iDenfy, an AI-enabled identity verification, and fraud prevention tech startup, announced its partnership with Fincapital Partners, an all-in-one banking and asset management platform that offers comprehensive financial services. The company will leverage iDenfy’s advanced KYC and AML solutions to deliver a seamless customer onboarding process.
Fincapital Partners aimed to maintain a user-friendly interface and uninterrupted client experience when searching for a service provider that could support its single platform with multiple tools. The fintech offers a comprehensive suite of services, including trading investment, crypto exchange, and banking services such as IBAN and card issuance.
As an online service, the fintech needed to instill customer confidence without the benefit of face-to-face interaction. This drove Fincapital Partners to seek automated compliance solutions to enhance its operations. Fincapital Partners reports that iDenfy’s integration of identity verification and anti-money laundering (AML) screening solutions integration has streamlined the onboarding process, which was a crucial factor when selecting a KYC provider.
To enhance fraud prevention and provide secure and end-to-end identity verification and AML service, Fincapital Partners partnered with iDenfy. As a result, iDenfy is now responsible for ensuring that all customers of the financial service platform are protected and their sensitive data is stored in a compliant manner. Fincapital Partners has stated that iDenfy is now responsible for handling KYC inquiries and storing personal information, reducing the workload for its team.
According to Fincapital Partners, the banking and wealth management platform now offers a more seamless customer onboarding experience for its customers and partners, resulting in better regulatory risk protection. iDenfy’s biometric identity verification has allowed Fincapital Partners to streamline their process into four simple steps while simultaneously detecting fraudulent imagery such as deepfake videos and 3D masks.
To ensure its customers are verified with the appropriate level of trust, Fincapital Partners has integrated iDenfy’s biometric ID verification and AML Screening solution, enabling the company to efficiently verify and screen its customers for risk against sanctions, watchlists, and PEPs. This implementation instills confidence in the Fincapital Partners’ team, allowing them to provide a more secure experience for their clients and minimize regulatory risk to their business.
It’s worth mentioning that Fincapital Partners discovered that many KYC providers charged for every attempted identity verification, including unsuccessful ones, resulting in actual invoices that were 50% to 100% higher than advertised. The company tried out several IDV providers to save costs and eventually partnered with iDenfy. According to Fincapital Partners, iDenfy’s unique payment model only charges for successful KYC verifications, which was a significant factor in their decision to work with them.
“Our primary focus was eliminating manual processes and increasing automation to streamline our compliance workflow. Our partnership with iDenfy helps us achieve a positive customer experience and increase identity verification speed so our clients can be unboarded faster.” — commented Adrien Brousse, the CEO of Fincapital Partners.
“A company’s success in building an effective compliance program depends on having the appropriate KYC and AML controls in place. We appreciate every new partnership we make and are enthusiastic about helping Fincapital Partners improve their fraud prevention system.” — said Domantas Ciulde, the CEO of iDenfy.

PokerStars Casino adds Skullapalooza as fifth 2026 Slotlist pick
Psiclone Games and Playtech-built title features three Free Spins modifiers, including expanding reels, sliding wilds and jackpots up to 500x bet.
PokerStars Casino has released Skullapalooza as the fifth game in its 2026 The Slotlist series, making the title the featured slot on the operator’s Casino tab for the month.
Skullapalooza is developed by Psiclone Games and Playtech. The game’s core hook is a Free Spins system built around three “Skull” features that can be triggered individually or in combination: expanding reels, jackpot accumulators and stacked sliding wilds.
According to the company, players can land different coloured gems to randomly trigger one or more Free Spins variants. Pink gems may trigger Free Games with Expanding Reels, blue gems may add Sliding Wilds, and purple gems may activate pots with a grand prize of up to 500x total bet. The company said all three variants can be active at once.
“The Slotlist is designed to spotlight games that deliver a well-rounded player experience, combining innovative features, striking visuals, and immersive gameplay”, said Ed Fogarty, Associate Director of PokerStars Casino Commercial. “Skullapalooza embodies all these qualities, and we’re thrilled to feature it prominently in The Slotlist this month.”
Skullapalooza joins earlier 2026 Slotlist picks including Baozang Empire of Plenty, Magnificent Power Leprechaun, and 12 Burning Baseballs.

Arizona extends Gaming Department for six years; problem gambling budget rises 20%
Governor Hobbs signs SB 1671; new budget sets $4M spend authority plus $500K a year from event wagering funds.
The Arizona Department of Gaming has secured a six-year continuation after Governor Hobbs signed Senate Bill 1671, following the 2026 legislative session that adjourned June 12, 2026. The continuation also covers the Arizona State Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission and the Arizona Racing Commission.
The Department said SB 1671 affirms its authority to regulate tribal gaming, event wagering and fantasy sports, horse racing and simulcast wagering, and boxing and mixed martial arts.
In parallel, the Department said Senate Bill 1847 and the state’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget expand expenditure authority for its Division of Problem Gambling. The budget authorizes $4,000,000 in total spending for the Division, which the agency said is a 20% increase from FY26.
The Department also said the legislature granted an annual $500,000 expenditure authority to use Event Wagering funds to support problem gambling, and that the Division will have grant oversight authority for the first time.
“Arizona first established the Department of Gaming in 1995 – and more than thirty years later, we remain excited about world-class regulation benefiting the entire state,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “I’m grateful to Governor Hobbs and leaders in the state legislature, particularly continuation bill sponsor State Senator Shawnna Bolick, who thoroughly reviewed our agency with a deep commitment to public service, and I am pleased that the Department secured its continuation, which will allow us to strengthen our focus points in robust consumer protection and integrity.”
“The new state budget will strengthen longstanding investments in problem gambling assistance made possible through partnerships with Arizona’s Tribal Nations and the Arizona Lottery,” said Elise Mikkelsen. “We continue to see strong demand from individuals and families seeking information, resources, and treatment for gambling-related harm. This increased funding will help us expand the continuum of care and ensure more Arizonans have access to effective, inclusive, and timely support.”
