How a mid-sized casino detected 312 fraud clusters and saved €68K using behavioral biometrics.
MediumBet is a mid-sized online casino operating under a Curacao licence with approximately 45,000 monthly active players. Their main markets are Central and Eastern Europe, with a focus on slots and live casino.
MediumBet's risk team noticed unusual patterns in their welcome bonus program. Despite having device fingerprinting and IP checks in place, they were losing an estimated 10-15% of their promotional budget to bonus abuse.
The organized fraud groups were sophisticated:
Traditional detection methods were failing because they focused on devices and IPs, not on the people behind the accounts.

Within 3 months, FraudShield delivered:
Each cluster represented a group of accounts controlled by the same person or group, linked by behavioral similarity.
Accounts were blocked before they could withdraw bonus winnings.
Direct savings from prevented bonus payouts to fraudulent accounts.
The proportion of bonus claims from suspected fraudulent accounts dropped dramatically.
