888 Holdings, one of the world's most popular online gaming companies, and operator of 888.com has signed with ID check vendor 192business to use global ID check solutions as part of their player acquisition strategy.
192business' solution, called Check-ID, will verify player identity data in less than a second during the account creation process without impairing the customer experience.
The benefits for 888 are robust player verification that helps prevent ID fraud, prevent underage gambling, and detect and disrupt money laundering.
"This player verification technology is a critical tool for 888 as we expand further into new markets," said Eran Gonen, Senior Vice President, at 888.
"Player verification enables us to go into new markets safely and responsibly" adds Ruth Tanami, Director of Responsible Gaming at 888. "It not only minimises paper-based player identity checking that impairs the customer experience, but maintains our commitment to being a socially responsible operator by preventing underage players accessing our gaming sites"
David Pope, director at 192business said: "It's great that we can help leading operators implement faster and safer player acquisition processes. Our global player ID check solutions are used by leading operators such 888, PKR and 32Red."
