HooYu launches Card Check to prevent money laundering and speed-up the pay out journey

Extension of the HooYu journey now available to ensure customers are in possession of the correct payment card at pay out

Leading provider of digital KYC onboarding technology, HooYu, today announces the launch of Card Check, an extension to the HooYu journey. As the industry looks to further invest in tighter AML controls, operators asked HooYu to extend the HooYu journey beyond ID document validation and facial biometrics so that customers can prove they are in possession of the correct payment card at pay out.

The new journey prompts customers to provide a photo of their payment card at pay out and HooYu checks the card number and card holder name against the card(s) that were originally used to deposit, without retaining or compromising sensitive information. Card Check works to prove that the withdrawal of funds during pay out is going to the real customer and prevent bad actors from account takeover and making off with the customer’s winnings.

As gaming customers face ever more choice as to where they place their bets, quick pay outs are an important differentiator. In a recent online gambling survey, 80% of players said that fast pay outs are important when choosing an online gambling or betting provider and 55% of players said they were likely to switch to an online gaming service that offered instant withdrawals.

David Pope, Marketing Director at HooYu commented: “Our clients asked us if we could extend the HooYu journey to payment cards to reduce manual overhead checking at pay out and increase AML controls. This new journey speeds up the pay out process and saves operators many man hours checking that pay outs are being sent to the right card.”

Yggdrasil creates a buzz with new launch Bugs Money
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Yggdrasil and Reflex Gaming are transporting players to a world where bees make more than honey in the latest YG Masters creation, Bugs Money.

Hailed by Reflex Gaming as one of their most impactful slots to date, the game presents a wide array of vibrant bees, bugs, insects, flowers and fruits. The colourful art and design is coupled with thrilling features: Free Spins and Glow Wilds reel modifiers.

The Free Spins feature is triggered when three or more scatter symbols land and offers a choice of 3, 7, 10, or 15 Free Spins with a max win multiplier of 50x, 20x, 10x and 5x respectively. This allows players to directly set the volatility of the Free Spins feature and encourages user participation.

During the bonus, the majestic Queen Bee symbol can land on the centre reel, increasing the multiplier by 10x, up to a huge maximum of 500x.

When the Glow Wilds reel modifier bonus is triggered during the base game or Free Spins, the setting changes from day into night. While the reels are spinning, glow bugs land on random reel positions to add wild symbols. The Queen Bee can also make an appearance during the Glow Wilds bonus to deliver insane wins.

Part of the YG Masters portfolio, Bugs Money is Reflex Gaming’s 13th title as part of the initiative. The offering is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology enabling partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to consistently produce cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product & Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “Bugs Money is a playful, fun and vibrant title with straightforward yet engaging game play.

“Our partnership with Reflex Gaming has been fantastic to date with over 10 titles launched and we are excited to introduce yet another premium game to our wide operator network.”

Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, said: “This game has been a lot of fun to create. It’s another original concept from our studio.

“Despite the tranquil setting, it can quickly turn volatile. The Free Spins can dramatically increase the volatility by offering a super volatile mode. Allowing players to set their own volatility in the Free Spins feature offers greater engagement and ensures the title appeals to a wide demographic.”
