GVC Holdings Partners with Jumio to Focus on Improved Player Protection

Identity verification leader is helping GVC to smooth the onboarding process for new players across its popular gaming brands including bwin, Sportingbet and partypoker.

London, UK, 7th February 2018 – Jumio, the leading digital identity verification provider, has today announced a partnership with GVC Holdings, the multinational online sports betting and gaming group, to create a smoother and more secure onboarding experience for customers. The partnership forms part of GVC’s drive to increase player protection measures and provide the world’s safest online gaming environment.

Under the partnership, GVC will deploy Jumio’s Netverify® solution, which combines artificial intelligence, machine learning and human identity experts, to accurately and securely verify the identity of new account holders. And, because Jumio’s industry leading technology automates much of the process, it also dramatically shrinks the time required from 24 hours to less than two minutes. This reduces the manual workload of GVC’s in-house verification teams while ensuring compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) mandates.

With more than 79 million customers, GVC operates a number of the online gaming industry’s leading brands, including sports brands: bwin, Sportingbet and Gamebookers, and games brands: partypoker, partycasino, Foxy Bingo, Gioco Digitale and CasinoClub.
