Players come back. So does the risk.
You’ve built an effective player verification and onboarding experience. But what happens every time a player returns?
SMS one-time passwords remain the default for many gaming operators—even as costs rise, attacks intensify, and regulatory expectations move beyond them. This whitepaper makes the case for a more durable authentication strategy.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why SMS OTP is becoming a liability: See how carrier costs, SIM swaps, social engineering, and SMS pumping turn every authentication event into a growing risk and expense.
- Where regulation is heading: Understand why regulators and standards bodies are raising the bar for authentication, and what Pennsylvania’s 2027 deadline means for operators.
- How key-based authentication changes the equation: Learn how device-bound cryptographic credentials can authenticate players without codes, cloud keychains, or required opt-in.
- How to close the post-registration fraud gap: Connect device, phone number, and account owner in one persistent signal that strengthens with every player session.
- Why better security can also mean less friction: Explore a risk-based approach that keeps trusted players moving while reserving step-up verification for sessions that truly warrant it.
