Understanding Fraud in the Gambling/Gaming Industry
Chargeback Abuse
Players often place bets, lose, and then dispute the charge by claiming their card was stolen or that they never authorized the transaction. This type of "friendly fraud" is particularly harmful because these users pass all standard security checks, until they decide to file a chargeback.
Bonus Abuse
Fraudsters exploit welcome bonuses and promotions by creating networks of fake accounts with stolen identities. They deposit the minimum amount, meet wagering requirements with minimal risk strategies, and disappear with your bonus funds, draining your marketing budget.
Multi-Accounting & Stolen Card Fraud
Criminals use stolen payment information to make deposits, place minimal-risk bets, and cash out before the real cardholder notices. Meanwhile, organized teams manipulate odds through multi-accounting, gaining unfair advantages in poker and sports betting.
How FastoSafe Stops Gambling Fraud
FastoSafe prevents fraud before it happens by analyzing transactions in real time. Our AI-driven technology detects suspicious behavior, blocks fraudulent activity, and protects your revenue without disrupting legitimate players.
3D Secure 2.0 Authentication
Our advanced 3D Secure system risk-scores every transaction based on geolocation, device fingerprinting, and betting patterns. Low-risk players experience frictionless payments, while high-risk transactions trigger additional verification like biometrics or one-time passcodes.
KYC Compliance & Identity Verification
Before a player can deposit or withdraw, our system verifies their identity using ID document checks, biometric authentication, and address verification. Fake IDs, duplicate accounts, and fraud rings are flagged instantly.
Real-Time Chargeback Alerts
We partner with Ethoca and Verifi to provide instant notifications when a chargeback is initiated. This early warning allows you to issue refunds or submit evidence before the dispute escalates.
AML Monitoring & Velocity Checks
FastoSafe tracks deposits, withdrawals, and betting behavior to flag suspicious activity. Velocity monitoring detects rapid deposits from stolen cards, multiple logins from different locations, and attempts to bypass AML limits by splitting large withdrawals into smaller transactions.
Why Fraud Prevention Matters for Gambling Merchants
Fraud threatens your entire business. High chargeback rates, regulatory non-compliance, and fraud-driven account suspensions can cripple your gambling/gaming business.

Gambling merchants lose 7-9% of revenue to chargeback fraud. FastoSafe helps reduce fraudulent disputes, keeping your chargeback ratio low and your payment processing stable.
Avoid Frozen Funds & Payment Processor Bans
Exceeding chargeback thresholds leads to frozen accounts, rolling reserves, and even termination from payment processors. With FastoSafe, you can prevent fraud before it affects your cash flow.

FAQs About Gambling Fraud Prevention
Why do gambling sites face higher fraud risks than other industries?
Gambling involves fast-moving money, high transaction volumes, and little to no physical product, making it a prime target for fraudsters. The combination of anonymity, rapid payouts, and high-value deposits attracts both professional scammers and casual chargeback abusers.
What happens if my chargeback ratio gets too high?
If your chargeback rate exceeds 1-2%, processors may place reserves on your account, increase your fees, or even terminate your merchant account. High-risk businesses with excessive chargebacks may struggle to find payment processors willing to work with them.
What’s the most common type of fraud in online gambling?
Bonus abuse and stolen card fraud are two of the biggest threats. Fraudsters often exploit welcome bonuses, using fake accounts to withdraw free money. Stolen credit cards are also frequently used to make deposits, leading to costly chargebacks when the real cardholder disputes the transaction.
What’s the best way to dispute fraudulent chargebacks?
Winning chargeback disputes requires detailed evidence. Our system automatically collects transaction logs, IP addresses, device fingerprints, and proof of services rendered, giving you everything you need to submit a strong dispute case.
What’s the biggest mistake gambling merchants make with fraud prevention?
Ignoring transaction patterns. Many operators focus on preventing deposits from bad actors but overlook fraudulent withdrawals. Without proper monitoring, scammers cash out winnings fraudulently, resulting in major financial losses.
