iDenfy’s ID verification creates a frictionless KYC flow for SoftGenius
Kaunas, Lithuania (November 16, 2023) — iDenfy, a global RegTech startup best known for its ID verification and fraud prevention tool hub, announced a new partnership with SoftGenius, a software development company specializing in crafting premier iGaming solutions. iDenfy’s identity verification and AML solutions will assist in the screening and onboarding process of SoftGenius’s expanding customer base.
Know Your Customer (KYC) is a legal requirement in the online entertainment and iGaming sphere for various reasons, including age verification, checking the validity of ID documents, and identifying potential risk factors, such as financial affordability concerns or issues related to gambling. According to iDenfy, online gaming operators and product developers must fill these trust and safety requirements while focusing on user experience and compliance in mind.
iDenfy, a leading name in the RegTech space, emphasizes the significance of online gaming operators and product developers meeting these trust and safety requirements. iDenfy claims that iGaming enterprises and their developers must understand the importance of balancing user experience and regulatory compliance. As claimed by iDenfy, this is extremely important. With the global market for online gaming surging to a staggering $26.14 billion in revenue in 2023, as reported by Statista, the competition has never been more intense.
SoftGenius recognizes that ID verification serves a dual purpose – it’s not just a legal requirement but also an essential instrument for combating fraud and fostering trust, a critical aspect within the realm of iGaming. SoftGenius’ team believes that its product development process always has room for improvement in all aspects, including well-established functionalities and security features, so they wanted to implement a new KYC solution that could add an extra layer of security.
Currently, SoftGenius is working on building a new generation of entertainment and gaming, providing well-executed development services for online casinos and sports betting platforms. With founders and team members boasting over a decade of experience working within and alongside some of the largest iGaming companies globally, they possess a profound understanding of the whole industry.
According to iDenfy, many internal compliance teams and KYC agents constantly face a substantial volume of documents, resulting in drop-offs and a less optimal user experience. For this reason, according to KYC professionals, manual identity verification processes can’t offer the same level of user experience as AI-powered software. SoftGenius agrees with this approach, which made the company initiate a quest for an automated identity verification solution. Their goal is to streamline the verification process and elevate the overall user experience for their clients.
In addition to the ID verification solution, SoftGenius integrated iDenfy’s AML Screening tool. This new tool empowers the software development company to conduct automated Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks, significantly reducing the time spent cross-referencing different databases and lists to verify that the customer poses no risks to the gaming operator. iDenfy’s solution automatically scans Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) lists, sanctions lists, and global watchlists. This proactive approach enables SoftGenius to ensure secure user journeys, minimize risks, and expedite the verification of trusted customers, all without adding unnecessary complications to the KYC process.
It’s worth noting that iDenfy’s ability to deliver transparent and comprehensible information during our initial conversation stage left a strong impression on the SoftGenius team. This was instrumental in deepening the company’s understanding of iDeny’s identity verification and AML Screening tools and how they could enhance its operations. For this reason, the blend of clear communication, alignment with SoftGenius’ budget, and outstanding collaboration made iDenfy the perfect choice for fulfilling its KYC requirements.
“The combination of iDenfy’s ID verification and AML tools is what made a starting point for our automated fraud prevention strategy. We’re excited about this partnership, which helps us enhance security and ensure compliance in the iGaming industry,” — said Kati Holasz, the CTO of SoftGenius.
“Our goal is to help partners take a risk-based approach to fraud management and simultaneously deliver an exceptional customer experience. This is exactly what we’ll be doing together with SoftGenius,” — added Domantas Ciulde, the CEO of iDenfy.

Forging Strong Partnerships: SYNOT Games on Market Growth & Client Success

HIPTHER, organizer of the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit 2025, is proud to present SYNOT Games, our Lanyards Sponsor, and a leading force in the iGaming industry. SYNOT Games has built a reputation for innovative, high-quality slot content, boasting a portfolio of 180+ certified games and “unleashing digital delights” across over 40 jurisdictions.
In this exclusive Sponsors Spotlight interview, we sit down with Dagmar Cvrckova, Head of Strategic Partnership, to discuss their expansion across global markets, business-oriented approach to clients, and what’s next for their growing portfolio.
SYNOT Games has successfully expanded into multiple regulated jurisdictions, from Europe to emerging markets. What factors drive your decision-making when entering new territories, and what challenges do you see in the current regulatory landscape?
Our expansion strategy rests on three core pillars: market potential, regulatory stability, and demand for unique content we develop. Before entering a new jurisdiction, we conduct comprehensive research to assess the player base, competitive landscape, regulatory requirements and operator demands.
Navigating compliance is one of the biggest challenges in the iGaming industry, as regulations are constantly evolving and changing. We take proactive steps by working closely with regulators, ensuring our games meet all certification standards, and staying ahead of legal changes. This approach ensures robust compliance and keeps us well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities in new markets.
With a portfolio of over 180 certified games, how does SYNOT adapt its content to meet the preferences of diverse player demographics across various regions?
Player preferences vary widely across regions, and our game development strategy is deeply rooted in data-driven decision-making. For example, while European players often favor classic slot mechanics and high-volatility games, Latin American markets prefer vibrant themes and engaging bonus features.
We analyze player behavior, session data, and engagement rates to fine-tune our content. Our localization goes well beyond language translation; it encompasses a complete adaptation of the gaming experience, including themes, payout structures, and bonus mechanics – to align with regional trends. But we’re not afraid to experiment either.
This approach allows us to deliver games that resonate with a global audience while staying true to the distinctive SYNOT Games style.
Strategic partnerships are a key focus for SYNOT Games. How do you approach collaborations with operators to ensure mutual success and long-term growth?
Strong and strategic partnerships are built on flexibility, customization, and shared goals. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, we work closely with our partners to deliver customized offerings – including exclusive games and tailored promotional tools – that drive player engagement and retention.
The key to our success is our ability to adapt, whether through customized game offerings, innovation, marketing support or technical solutions. This collaborative approach ensures sustainable growth for both parties.
SYNOT Games prides itself on “unleashing digital delights”: delivering original content adaptable to any operation configuration and needs. How do you balance innovation with maintaining a consistent and engaging player experience?
Innovation is at the heart of everything we do, but our approach is always player-first. We continuously experiment with new mechanics, themes, and features, but we also maintain the core elements that players love – intuitive gameplay, engaging graphics, and rewarding experiences. However, it is essential to strike a balance between innovations and solutions that are both effective and engaging for players, whether they are directly part of the games or retention tools.
The PEAK (Player Engagement & Acquisition Kit) is a prime example of a powerful retention tool that unlocks exciting new reward options and simplifies promotion management. It allows operators to set promotions according to their needs. And the best part? We’re continuously enhancing it with new features to keep engagement at its peak.
Of course, every innovation must be developed with a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape, ensuring compliance while delivering an exceptional gaming experience across different markets.

Bitline and Everi Announce Crypto Liquidity for Choctaw Casinos & Resorts in Industry First Development
Bitline, the only provider for casino chip access directly from cryptocurrency, has announced its first major collaboration in the U.S. casino market, teaming up with Choctaw Casinos & Resorts through its collaboration with Everi, a premier provider of financial technology and gaming solutions. This collaboration introduces cryptocurrency and digital assets as a new source of liquidity for casino patrons and marks the first time that such a functionality has been enabled within the American gaming industry.
Leveraging Everi’s CashClub’s comprehensive payment infrastructure, Bitline’s solution is able to efficiently board, screen and verify patrons looking to leverage their digital assets whilst also allowing patrons to move screened assets into custody within minutes. Bitline’s integration with Everi Cash Club, the leading financial access services suite for casino payments, will enable the technology for the benefit of Choctaw Casinos & Resorts, and is the first time that such a functionality has been possible in the U.S. regulated casino market.
Catering to the growing demand for greater cryptocurrency and digital asset integration within the casino industry, the collaboration between Bitline and Everi’s forms a transferable blueprint that offers casino operators and their patrons an alternative way to manage funds, access liquidity, and leverage the benefits of cryptocurrency and other digital assets.
This milestone reflects a strategic shift in how casino operators view and manage financial interactions with their guests. The introduction of cryptocurrency as a liquidity solution provides additional options for guests and lays the foundation for Choctaw Casinos & Resorts as it looks to the future of gaming sector finance, setting a new standard in financial accessibility and convenience.
“Working with Choctaw Casinos & Resorts and Everi to make this a reality is a historical moment for both the casino and blockchain industries. Bitline was conceptualized to advance the gaming sector and offer a wider variety of financial options for the casino industry,” said Richard Jones, CEO at Bitline. “We’re entering an era where digital assets can fundamentally enhance the gaming experience, providing casino operators with a future-ready financial framework that can expand and evolve as the industry does. This collaboration is just the beginning of our vision to modernize casino payment capabilities on a global scale.”
Victor Newsom, SVP Product Management, Payments Solutions at Everi comments “This unique integration combines BitLine’s additional payment accessibility options with Everi’s ability to enable seamless, secure, and regulatory compliant financial transactions for casino patrons. Designed from the ground up to exceed the rigorous compliance demands of the industry as well as the discerning expectations of gaming VIPs around the world, Choctaw’s patrons are now no longer limited to the access, times, amount, and speed constraints of the legacy financial systems. This also significantly reduces risk for our casino customers, such as Choctaw.”
“We are excited to be the first casino in North America to offer our guests another way to play,” said Thomas McDonald, Senior Director of Cage and Credit at Choctaw Casinos & Resorts. “Through our long-term relationship with Everi, a leader in fintech solutions, we will continue to invest in innovative offerings that provide the discerning gaming VIP access to funds in a safe and secure manner.”
The Choctaw Casinos & Resorts integration represents only the first phase of Bitline’s broader mission to bring cryptocurrency solutions to casinos and casino patrons worldwide. As cryptocurrency and digital assets continue to gain traction in the gaming sector, Bitline’s easy to integrate and patented payment model stands poised to become a key player in transforming gaming finance. Future plans include expanding services across other major casinos and gaming markets, both domestically and internationally, establishing cryptocurrency as a new standard feature of the gaming experience.
The solution is to be formally rolled out on March 7, 2025, with the first transaction taking place at Choctaw’s Durant, Oklahoma, location.
