WPT Enterprises Selects Digital Resolve for Online Gaming Compliance and Fraud Prevention
World Poker Tour’s Online Gaming Platform to Leverage Digital Resolve’s Fraud Analyst Risk-Based Authentication Solution to Comply with Recent Gaming Restrictions and Prevent Online Fraud
ATLANTA — December 11, 2006 — Digital Resolve, the authority in transparent, risk-based authentication, today announced that WPT Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: WPTE) will deploy the company’s industry-leading Fraud Analyst(TM) risk-based authentication platform to help World Poker Tour’s online gaming platform comply with the recent U. S. law prohibiting online gaming by U.S. citizens; to authenticate online users; and to leverage the analytics and research capabilities of the solution to identify patterns of online fraud.
The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was signed by President Bush on Oct. 13, 2006 and forces U.S. banks and credit card companies to block electronic transactions to Internet gambling businesses.
“While traditionally many of our customers have been financial services institutions looking to further authenticate their online banking customers, World Poker Tour’s online gaming platform’s use of Fraud Analyst for both compliance and authentication demonstrates the diversity of our solution and it’s ability to protect online user accounts across industries,” said Dennis Maicon, Executive Vice President of Financial Services Solutions, Digital Resolve. “We look forward to working with World Poker Tour’s online gaming platform to meet their compliance and authentication needs.”
Beyond the proven fraud detection and prevention capabilities of Fraud Analyst, which address the full customer lifecycle from the moment a user accesses a Website to create an account to every subsequent login and transaction, World Poker Tour’s online gaming platform will leverage its unsurpassed analysis and research capabilities. Fraud Analyst will enable World Poker Tour’s online gaming platform to better understand the way in which online users access their Website, helping both to prevent new forms of fraud and to more effectively market its service to online customers.
