A gambling site is a website where people can wager on games of chance or skill. It’s also often known as a casino, sportsbook or poker room. Gambling sites are highly attractive targets for fraudsters due to their accessibility, traditional ties with money launderers and the sheer volume of transactions that occur daily.
The most common gambling frauds include multiple account abuse, stolen credit card details, fraudulent betting activity and matched betting scams. In some cases, fraudsters will also look to camouflage their true identity by creating a new online persona or using different devices when playing.
Fraudulent activities can have a massive impact on the bottom line of a gambling site, regardless of their size and industry. For example, an excessive amount of chargebacks will increase a casino’s risk of being banned from a payment processor’s network – and the associated revenue loss. Likewise, bad reputation with regulators can result in fines and even being forced to close your business.
