How AcuityTec Empowers iGaming Operators with KYC & Adaptive Fraud Defense

The iGaming industry is a high-stakes world where security, compliance, and seamless player experiences define success. As operators push the boundaries of innovation, fraudsters and bad actors continue to evolve—exploiting gaps in identity verification, payment processing, and bonus abuse.

iGaming Industry Growth and Player Engagement

The iGaming industry has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, driven by technological advancements, regulatory changes, and shifting consumer behaviors. In 2024, the global online gambling market was valued at approximately $97 billion, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.29% from $85.62 billion in 2023. (1)

In the United States, commercial gaming revenue reached a record $71.92 billion in 2024, surpassing the previous high of $66.5 billion in 2023 by 7.5%. The online gaming sector contributed $21.54 billion, accounting for 30% of this growth's total revenue. (2)

Player engagement has also intensified, with nearly half (49%) of Americans visiting a casino in 2024, the highest recorded rate, up from 35% in 2019. (3) The demographic profile of online gamblers reveals an average age of 34 years, with a male-to-female ratio of approximately 3:1. (4)

Mobile gaming has become a dominant force, contributing 60% of the industry's total revenue in 2023. (5) This surge is attributed to the convenience and accessibility of mobile platforms, enabling players to engage in gaming activities anytime and anywhere. As the iGaming landscape expands, so does the complexity of fraud schemes. For gaming platforms to thrive, they need more than a standard solution. They need a dynamic, adaptable, and intelligent fraud prevention system that evolves in real-time while remaining seamless for their players. This is where AcuityTec steps in.
