Online Casino Risk & Compliance
High-value depositors, anonymous accounts and cross-border payments make online casinos a primary target for money laundering. AML Watcher screens every player at registration and keeps watching across the full account lifecycle.
- Screen all new account holders against PEPs, sanctions, watchlists and adverse media before first deposit
- Ongoing monitoring alerts your team the moment a player's risk profile changes, new sanction, PEP appointment or adverse media hit
- TruRisk AI resolves watchlist alerts in under 10 seconds, eliminating analyst time lost to false positive noise
Sportsbooks & Betting Compliance
Sportsbooks attract politically exposed persons, match-fixing participants and high-volume bettors whose source of funds is never straightforward. AML Watcher screens at account creation and flags emerging risks without disrupting the betting experience.
- Screen against all four FATF PEP levels including Level 3 and Level 4 officials frequently missed by competitor platforms
- Adverse media coverage in 80+ languages surfaces match-fixing and sports-corruption exposure from non-English sources

Fantasy Sports Platform AML
Fantasy sports platforms operate at scale with micro-transactions and frequent prize payouts. AML Watcher integrates via API so every sign-up is screened in milliseconds, compliance that keeps pace with acquisition growth.
- API-first integration screens users at sign-up in under 400ms, zero friction on onboarding conversion
- Custom risk scoring auto-approves low-risk accounts and routes high-risk profiles directly to enhanced due diligence queues
- TruRisk AI cuts false positive workload by 95%, giving lean compliance teams the leverage to scale without adding headcount
Lottery Operator Prize Compliance
Prize payouts are where money moves fastest, and where sanctions exposure is most acute. AML Watcher screens every claimant before a payout is released, with a full audit trail ready for regulatory inspection.
- Screen prize claimants against 215+ sanctions regimes updated every 15 minutes before any disbursement is authorised
- Configurable EDD thresholds automatically escalate high-value prize claims for source-of-funds review
- Every screening decision is timestamped and stored with supporting evidence, exportable for UK Gambling Commission and licensing authority audit

- Real-time payment screening against sanctions and watchlists before each transaction clears, no exposure windows
- Crypto wallet screening across 415+ risk categories: sanctions, darknet, ransomware, mixing services and illicit gambling proceeds
