Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sumsub and where does its technology fit into the online casino player lifecycle?
Sumsub is a leading identity verification and compliance platform (KYC/AML). Its technology is primarily used at the beginning of a player's lifecycle at an online casino, during registration and account opening. It allows operators to verify users' identity, age, and geographical location, ensuring they meet the legal requirements to play. It is also crucial at key points such as withdrawals, where additional verifications are carried out to prevent fraud and money laundering, guaranteeing a safe and regulated gaming environment.
How does Sumsub combat deepfake fraud?
Sumsub uses liveness detection technology that analyzes biometric signals in real time. This system identifies and blocks impersonation attempts made with generative AI before the user can interact with the platform.
How sumsub's platform works for operators: api integration, verification flows, dashboard, and alerts?
Sumsub's platform seamlessly integrates with operator systems via a flexible API. Once integrated, it enables the configuration of custom verification flows tailored to the regulatory requirements of each market. Players upload their identity documents, which are then processed using artificial intelligence and human verifiers. Operators access a centralized dashboard to monitor verification statuses, manage cases, and receive real-time alerts regarding potential fraud or non-compliance. This optimizes operational efficiency and regulatory adherence.
Is Sumsub compatible with Brazilian regulations?
Yes, Sumsub adapts its workflows to local Brazilian requirements, including CPF validation and compliance with SPA regulations. This ensures operators function within a legal and secure framework in the Brazilian market.
Which European and Spanish regulations require robust KYC: SEPBLAC, DGOJ, EU AML directives?
In Spain, robust KYC is mandated by regulations such as Law 10/2010 on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing, overseen by SEPBLAC. The Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ) also imposes strict identity verification requirements for the granting and maintenance of licenses. At a European level, EU AML (Anti-Money Laundering) directives, such as the Fifth Directive, establish a common framework that obliges operators to implement rigorous customer identification and verification measures to combat money laundering and fraud.
Which iGaming operators use Sumsub and what compliance metrics do they report: verification time, rejection rate?
Numerous iGaming operators globally and in Spain use Sumsub for identity verification, including major industry players. These operators report key compliance metrics that demonstrate Sumsub's efficiency. For example, there is a significant reduction in verification time, often completing the process in a matter of minutes, which improves the user experience. Additionally, a low rejection rate of legitimate users and a high detection rate of fraud attempts are reported, optimizing security and regulatory compliance.
What is a customer identification program (cip) and how does sumsub implement it for online casinos?
A Customer Identification Program (CIP) is an essential component of AML regulations, designed to enable financial institutions and regulated entities, such as online casinos in Spain, to verify the identity of their customers. Sumsub implements a robust CIP for online casinos by collecting and verifying identity data (name, date of birth, address, DNI/NIE). It uses facial recognition technologies, document verification, and databases to cross-reference information, ensuring that users are who they claim to be and meet the legal requirements to play, preventing fraud and money laundering.
What is customer due diligence (CDD) in the context of iGaming, and how does Sumsub implement it for regulated operators in Brazil?
customer due diligence (CDD) in iGaming refers to the process of collecting and analyzing information about a user to assess their risk profile and prevent illicit activities such as money laundering and fraud. For regulated operators in Brazil, Sumsub implements CDD through identity verification (KYC), AML screening against sanctions and PEP lists, and source of funds assessment. Additionally, it continuously monitors users to detect changes in their risk. This ensures that operators comply with Law 14,790/2023, protecting both the business and the players.
What is KYC in an online casino and how does Sumsub help comply with the DGOJ in Spain?
KYC (Know Your Customer) in an online casino is a fundamental process for verifying user identity and preventing money laundering and fraud. Spanish regulations, through the DGOJ, require operators to verify the age and identity of their players. Sumsub automates this process by collecting and analyzing identity documents, performing biometric verification, and checking sanction lists, ensuring that online casinos comply with all DGOJ requirements efficiently and with minimal manual intervention.
