Insights from the 2025 Payments, Fraud & Compliance Gaming Leaders’ Summits: Global iGaming Identity Trends and ARGOS Identity’s Role

Core Security, Payments, and Compliance Challenges Discussed by Global iGaming Leaders

The Payments, Fraud & Compliance Gaming Leaders’ Summits is one of the most influential annual events that brings together iGaming operators, fraud experts, payment specialists, and compliance leaders. This year, the industry once again identified mass creation of fake and duplicate accounts for bonus exploitation as one of the most urgent, shared challenges.
This issue especially prevalent in Latin America has become a systemic problem as operators use welcome bonuses as part of their user acquisition strategy, prompting the need for more advanced, automated identity verification technologies.

Face Re-Verification and Real-Time Liveness Checks to Combat Bonus Abuse

At the event, ARGOS Identity demonstrated how AI-powered face re-verification and real-time liveness checks can effectively block bonus abuse patterns.
Most large-scale fraudulent account creation occurs when the same user creates multiple accounts or reuses old ones. A short, friction-light face re-verification step at key trigger events such as requesting a bonus can significantly reduce fraud while keeping user friction minimal.

The Limits of Current eKYC Systems 10+ Minutes of Manual Review Delays

Many iGaming operators already use some form of ID verification, but their final approval process still often depends on manual review by internal teams.
This manual step can create delays of 10 minutes or more before a new user can join gameplay an extremely costly bottleneck for player conversion.
ARGOS Identity addressed this issue by presenting its fully automated, real-time verification engine, designed to eliminate wait times, reduce drop-off, and improve user onboarding performance.

Why Latin American Operators Are Pushing for Faster, Automated Identity Flows

Throughout the Summits, ARGOS Identity engaged with numerous Latin American operators who resonated strongly with these challenges. The region’s rapidly growing user base and widespread use of welcome bonuses make it especially vulnerable to bonus abuse and multiple-account fraud.
Operators consistently emphasized their need for:

• Faster verification

• Fully automated ID workflows

• Reliable duplicate-account prevention

ARGOS Identity’s approach to automated identity flow modernization drew strong interest across the board.

Automated eKYC as the Next Standard in iGaming

This year’s Payments, Fraud & Compliance Gaming Leaders’ Summits made it clear that the iGaming industry shares a common set of priorities:

• Prevent bonus abuse

• Enable real-time onboarding

• Remove manual review delays

• Block mass account generation

• Improve operational efficiency

ARGOS Identity introduced solutions that directly address these needs with AI-driven real-time verification, automated re-check flows, and an operator-friendly dashboard that enhances insight and efficiency.
As global operators increasingly shift toward faster, more precise identity workflows, ARGOS Identity is positioned to play a leading role in defining the next generation of iGaming verification standards.
