We have dedicated risk management teams that monitor and investigate suspicious activities on the website. We have dedicated staff that work around the clock to conduct real-time transactional monitoring of Online deposits and withdrawals, and game play. Our teams are regularly trained on what we need to identify and report.
We monitor customer accounts for fraud management and anti-money laundering purposes. We conduct checks against players depositing more than €2,000 in a 24-hour period and run checks to validate their identity. Enhanced due diligence processes, including customer profile checks are being practiced for monitoring and reporting once suspicious activity has been detected in operation.
