Entering 2026, the role of AI is likely to continue to evolve as operators and stakeholders tap into the tech for a myriad of uses.
Speaking to iGaming Expert, Stian Enger, Head of Casino at EveryMatrix, emphasised the far reaching usage of AI, as the threat of fraud becomes increasingly prevalent within the iGaming market.
It comes as the firm introduces Bonus Guardian – a new AI tool designed to tackle the ever-growing threat of bonus abuse in iGaming.
Enger detailed how Bonus Guardian, as part of the EngageSuite product portfolio, helps operators protect those budgets, offer better bonuses to genuine players and, ultimately, protect their bottom line.
He stated: “Many operators still rely on manual checks and rigid rule-based systems, but they no longer match the scale or sophistication of today’s techniques.
“Too many operators treat it as a ‘cost of doing business’, assuming the financial impact is negligible. That assumption no longer holds.”
Enger continued on the latest data around fraud and tackling bonus abusers: “Reports show that around 15% of promotional budgets leak directly to abusers. iGaming fraud is rising. Data shows that 63.8% of all fraud in the sector comes from bonus abuse. The tactics used by fraudsters have evolved … Bonus abuse has been industrialised.“Bonus Guardian is not just another fraud filter. It is a living shield that adapts to everything that is thrown at it thanks to the power of AI.”
