The Problem

✗ Organized fraud rings exploit bonuses & betting markets
✗ Fraud happens in seconds; rules-based detection too slow
✗ Static rules become obsolete as tactics evolve
✗ High false positives block legitimate players

Our Solution

✓ Real-time ML: XGBoost, autoencoders, anomaly detection
✓ Sub-100ms decisions: prevent fraud before settlement
✓ Behavioral analysis: device, login, betting patterns
✓ Network analysis: detect collusion & fraud rings

Quick Questions

How fast must fraud detection be?

Bets settle in seconds; fraud decision must be sub-100ms to prevent settlement. Our system delivers <50ms latency even at peak volume. This margin accounts for network latency and business logic.

Can ML handle bonus abuse at our scale?

Yes. Bonus abuse patterns are learnable: matched betting, collusion, rapid cycling. Our supervised models achieve 95%+ accuracy on historical labeled cases. Continuous retraining adapts to new tactics.

How do you avoid false positives?

Machine learning reduces false positives 80-90% vs. rule-based systems. We balance sensitivity/specificity using ROC curves. Feedback loops from analysts continuously improve calibration.

Can you detect organized collusion?

Yes. Graph neural networks identify coordinated betting across accounts. Signals: shared IP/device, impossible outcome correlations, synchronized betting patterns. Network analysis discovers fraud rings.

How does this integrate with our systems?

Real-time APIs provide fraud risk scores for each bet. Webhooks alert on high-risk transactions. Case management integration for investigation. Full audit trails for compliance.
