iDenfy’s biometric and document verification tools will help iGaming Express maintain KYC requirements while improving conversions for its clients who operate in high-risk industries

iDenfy, a global RegTech leader in identity verification and fraud prevention solutions, announced a new partnership with iGaming Express, a trusted consultancy company specializing in high-risk industries with a strong focus on the iGaming sector. By integrating iDenfy’s AI-powered identity verification software, iGaming Express will help its clients improve their verification flows through better conversions and complete compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations on a global scale, no matter the industry or jurisdiction.

iGaming Express is a consultancy known for its deep expertise in helping clients navigate the complexities of international regulations, especially in heavily regulated, high-risk industries, such as iGaming. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services, including licensing support, strategic business planning, and legal advisory on various compliance matters, including KYC regulations, all tailored to its clients’ industry specifics. 

As businesses operating in highly regulated sectors face rising scrutiny from global regulators, identity verification has emerged as a crucial element in maintaining compliance and protecting against fraud. With the increasing shift of high-risk industries to digital platforms, iGaming Express team’s main goal is to strengthen client trust and compliance through innovative and more precise technologies. Due to this factor, and the need to scale on a global level while catering to different clients’ needs, the consultancy platform decided to integrate iDenfy’s identity verification solution and improve remote onboarding for its partners. 

iGaming Express looked for a fully automated KYC solution to meet these challenges without sacrificing customer experience. Currently, with iDenfy’s cutting-edge identity verification software, the company can provide its clients with real-time biometric authentication and document verification across more than 200 countries. This shift has enabled iGaming Express to onboard clients seamlessly and securely. According to Domantas Ciulde, the CEO of iDenfy, businesses that deal with high-risk clients, for example, fintech or crypto platforms, including other industries like iGaming and sports betting, need to have specific licenses in line with their operating country and jurisdictional requirements. iDenfy has partners all around the world, with expertise in helping onboard such high-risk clients. “Our ID verification solution detects risks in real-time, preventing bad actors from accessing services in the very first step of the customer journey,” explained Domantas Ciulde. 

The integration of iDenfy’s verification technology into iGaming Express’s digital infrastructure has already yielded significant improvements. The automated system validates user identities through secure facial recognition and cross-referenced document checks, helping eliminate the possibility of fraud through fake as well as duplicate identities. As part of their roadmap, iGaming Express plans to incorporate iDenfy’s AML screening and Know Your Business (KYB) tools to further enhance their due diligence processes.

“When one of my trusted partners recommended iDenfy, the decision was clear. Our operations are fully remote, and until now, verifying a client’s identity without face-to-face interaction was challenging. iDenfy brings us a level of assurance and efficiency we couldn’t find elsewhere. It allows us to verify identities instantly, while reducing risk and ensuring we meet our regulatory obligations,” noted Alex Szilaghi, the CEO of iGaming Express.

“At iDenfy, we understand the unique compliance and fraud prevention needs of high-risk industries. Our collaboration with iGaming Express ensures that they can remotely verify client identities with accuracy and speed. This is about more than compliance; it’s about enabling safer digital interactions and protecting both the business and its customers,” added Domantas Ciulde, the CEO of iDenfy. 

In industries like online gambling, where fraud schemes can involve complex identity manipulation and cross-border financial crimes, reliable identity verification becomes essential. According to industry research, identity fraud contributes significantly to global financial losses, with the projected cost of online fraud expected to surpass $100 billion by 2029. Regulatory bodies worldwide are mandating tighter controls, and businesses are under pressure to implement reliable onboarding processes that prevent misuse while maintaining a smooth user experience.

As more high-risk sectors digitize their operations, collaborations like this serve as an example of how identity verification technology can drive both operational efficiency and long-term trust. With iDenfy’s scalable RegTech solutions, iGaming Express is well-positioned to continue delivering compliant, secure, and client-focused services in the evolving digital age.
