How we helped a Gaming company streamline customer onboarding

Published on Dec 19, 2023

About the Client

Our client, a prominent player in the online gaming industry, is faced with the challenge of complying with new regulations that necessitate rigorous customer screening and enhanced due diligence (EDD) processes. The operator caters to a vast and diverse player base, onboarding over 50,000 new players monthly, spanning multiple jurisdictions and under the oversight of various regulatory bodies.

On triggering EDD processes the client saw a significant drop of rates where it was assumed the players were moving to alternative brands to circumvent the EDD requirements.

They sought a comprehensive solution that could accommodate a risk-based approach to customer screening, reduce false positives, and enable the customisation of onboarding journeys to align with specific jurisdictional requirements.

Moreover, they have the additional task of remediating existing player profiles predating the regulation changes to ensure compliance.

 

ComprehensiveThe Challenge

The client’s existing onboarding system faced several critical challenges:

  • New Regulatory Requirements: The introduction of new regulations mandated the screening of players on a name-only basis at registration and EDD checks once a player reached a £2,000 deposit limit.
  • Scale and Efficiency: The existing system is not scalable enough to handle the high volume of new players being onboarded each month, resulting in some players not undergoing any screening at all.
  • Risk-Based Approach: To reduce false positives, the client needed a risk-based approach to screening that allowed them to tailor the onboarding process to the unique requirements of each jurisdiction.
  • Frictionless Onboarding: It is essential for the operator to provide a frictionless onboarding experience, allowing players to deposit without barriers while ensuring real-time screening and EDD upon reaching the threshold.
  • Back Book Remediation: The client also faced the challenge of remediating existing player profiles to bring them into compliance with the new regulations.
