HooYu signs agreement with Bear Group

HooYu, the UK-based peer-to-peer online ID verification service, has signed a partnership with the Guernsey-based gambling operator Bear Group, which runs casinos in UK such as Slingo and SpinGenie.

According to the agreement, Bear Group will use the HooYu platform to ensure mandatory compliance and social responsibility requirements as well as to detect fraud teams.

Ben Nichols, head of payments and compliance at Bear Group, said: “The first thing we noticed when initially testing HooYu Investigate is how highly intuitive it is to use. The visual interface enables us to see all the information and discover connections and data about individuals that would normally go undiscovered. It also gives us access to a lot of the data sources we would use in one application, this means that our KYC checks are now more in-depth and faster to conduct.”

Dominic Blackburn, product director for HooYu Investigate, added: “We help operators to discover Non-Obvious Relationship Awareness information about customers at a click, helping with investigations into source of funds, problem gambling, collusion, multiple accounts and fraud rings. Bear Group now have a unique and intuitive way to visualise their customers, meaning that investigators are now able to really get inside the information, and can discover and learn much more than was previously possible.”
