Incode Technologies and Aristotle Reinvent Identity and Age Verification in the Gambling Sector

Published

on

 

Incode Technologies Inc., a leading provider of world-class identity verification and authentication solutions for global enterprises, today announced a partnership with Aristotle Integrity, a leader in identity, KYC and anti-fraud services.

Now, Aristotle can offer the Incode-powered Integrity AutoDoc solution to its customers across the iGaming and Sportsbook sector. Aristotle manages a majority of transactions done within the gambling sector, as the company is licensed in 22 different US states and territories, by powering onboarding with most of the largest operators in the space.

With this revolutionary partnership, Aristotle has integrated Incode into Integrity AutoDoc, part of Aristotle’s suite of identity and age verification solutions. The integration enables customers and prospects to combine the value of Aristotle’s Electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) service, Integrity IDV and AML, with the capabilities of Incode’s industry-leading document and biometric verification technologies for enhanced speed and ease-of-use.

Aristotle also operates in other sectors, including crypto, financial services, social media, and adult age verification.

The integration adds Incode’s Passive Liveness Detection to the platform, which can determine whether credentials provided by Aristotle customers represent a live person, rather than a high-tech fake, offering industry-leading fraud detection and accuracy. Incode’s fully automated, end-to-end, biometric authentication technology offers speed and efficiency like never before to Integrity AutoDoc. Incode provides the ability to process users’ sensitive, biometric data right on the edge of the device to authenticate in record time, rather than outsourcing to remote data analysis centers that slow down the process and create privacy concerns.

“We are excited to partner with Incode to offer our customers access to Incode’s next-generation ID verification technology for enhanced speed and ease-of-use across a variety of sectors,” said Michael Bolcerek, SVP of Business Development at Aristotle. “We’re thrilled to equip our customers with better, more robust capabilities that promote privacy and simplify the user experience.”

“The challenges of compliance expenses, data responsibility, and the rise of age verification concerns underscore the difficulties legacy identity systems pose for iGaming and gambling,” said Ricardo Amper, CEO and Founder of Incode. “Now, Aristotle is powering AutoDoc with Incode’s global, end-to-end identity orchestration offerings to enable seamless attestation that protects against fraud and underaged gambling and gaming without needlessly giving away PPI.”

Incode’s work with Aristotle is yet another addition to Incode’s arsenal of strategic integrations and alliances, including its recent partnership with Snappt to bring industry-leading identity verification to property management.

BRENDAN DONOHUE TO STEP DOWN AS NBA 2K LEAGUE PRESIDENT

Brendan Donohue will step down as NBA 2K League President, it was announced today by NBA President, Global Partnerships Salvatore LaRocca.  Donohue, who has overseen the NBA 2K League since its inception, will stay on to assist with the transition to new NBA 2K League leadership until Oct. 31.

A sports business veteran with more than two decades of experience in team and league operations, Donohue was named NBA 2K League President in 2017 and has led the substantial growth of the esports league over its first six seasons.  The league – which was co-founded by the NBA and Take-Two Interactive and is the first official esports league operated by a U.S. professional sports league – has expanded from 17 teams in its inaugural season to 25 teams, including 22 NBA-affiliated teams and international franchises in Australia, China and Mexico.  This past season, the NBA 2K League delivered significant fan engagement growth across YouTube and Twitch, including a more than 50% increase in average minutes watched on the platforms compared to the prior year.

“We thank Brendan for all of his efforts in overseeing the launch and expansion of an entirely new league,” said LaRocca.  “Under his leadership, the NBA 2K League has built a strong global following and presence in the esports community, and we see more opportunities for growth in the coming years given the enormous popularity and interest in the NBA 2K franchise.”

“It has been an incredible privilege to lead the NBA 2K League and witness its evolution over these past six years,” said Donohue.  “Working and engaging with talented colleagues, the very best NBA 2K players in the world and a growing community of passionate fans has been such a rewarding experience.  I am proud of what we accomplished together and look forward to taking on my next challenge in the sports industry.”

Prior to being named NBA 2K League President, Donohue served as Senior Vice President of the NBA’s Team Marketing & Business Operations (TMBO) department, where he led the strategic planning and management for all teams across the NBA, WNBA and NBA G League, helping them innovate in sales, marketing, digital and analytical areas of their business.  He joined the NBA league office in 2009 and previously held sales leadership positions with the Atlanta Hawks, the then-New Orleans Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons.

Rivalry Releases New Original Game ‘Cash & Dash’ to Establish Next Generation of Casino Entertainment

 

Rivalry Corp., the leading sportsbook and iGaming operator for Millennials and Gen Z, released ‘Cash & Dash,’ a new original casino game available exclusively on Rivalry. Developed in-house by Rivalry’s games team, the fast-paced title blends elevated graphics, unique gameplay, and original IP to adapt the online casino experience for the next generation of bettors and their unique entertainment preferences.

“Online betting is still far behind other forms of entertainment from a product standpoint,” said Steven Salz, Co-Founder and CEO, Rivalry. “We see a growing opportunity to create betting products that are strikingly fun, interactive, and engaging, and our original games are a big step in that direction. Cash & Dash, Rushlane, and other original games we currently have in development, continue to build on a unique betting experience exclusive to Rivalry that differentiates our product at a time where most sportsbooks look and feel the same.”

Cash & Dash is a 3D game where players must infiltrate a high-security bank and avoid a series of booby-traps in order to steal the treasure and escape. Players bet the desired amount at the beginning of each round with multipliers that increase their winnings as they successfully navigate further into the secured building. Cash & Dash also features an array of Rivalry’s original IP as playable characters and more, further bridging product, marketing, and brand across the Company.

As a live-service game, Cash & Dash offers players a dynamic gaming experience where additional content and rewards including new playable characters, custom maps, consumable items, and more will be released through future updates and expansions. Rivalry will also host limited-time events in collaboration with its creator partners to drive awareness and player engagement.

“Cash & Dash is a first-of-its-kind title that merges online casino betting with modern video game studio development and gameplay,” said Andre Nogueira, Senior Product Manager, Games, Rivalry. “We’ve incorporated tried-and-true mechanics from the games industry to add a layer of entertainment value to the casino experience that resonates with our Millennial and Gen Z audience.”

Cash & Dash has been developed by Rivalry’s growing team of game developers, designers, and motion artists with experience producing video games for publishers and studios including Xbox, Nintendo, Ubisoft, and more. Rivalry will continue investing in video game development and producing more first-party games which build on the on-site entertainment experience and create an online betting product unique to the Company.

Cash & Dash is available on desktop and mobile in select regions and will soon roll out to all of Rivalry’s markets globally.
