Playtech integrates fraud detection tool
Supplier to use Featurespace’s machine learning fraud detection platform to spot risks and reduce poor playing experience


Playtech has completed the integration of machine learning fraud detection tools into its Information Management System (IMS) player management platform.
The supplier signed a strategic partnership with Featurespace in 2017 to integrate the system, which allows licensees to identify and reduce fraud.
Featurespace’s adaptive, real-time individual change platform (ARIC) understands each player’s individual behaviour and automatically evaluates risk.
By monitoring player behaviour, the platform identifies fraudulent attacks and reduces the number of incorrectly sanctioned customers which the firm hopes will reduce poor playing experience.
Playtech COO Shimon Akad said: “Playtech is committed to promoting safe play and empowering licensees and players with advanced customer engagement and protection.
“We are developing industry-leading risk management technology and processes and Playtech’s IMS player management platform provides our licensees with the latest player protection protocols.
“I’m therefore delighted that our partnership and integration with Featurespace technology will enable us to further increase the quality and effectiveness of our offering.”
