iGaming KYC & AML Compliance — identity checks, AML monitoring and self-exclusion

iGaming KYC & AML Compliance is a set of identity verification, anti-money-laundering, fraud prevention and responsible gambling tools that run inside the casino platform. It is aimed at operators who need player checks and monitoring without maintaining a separate compliance system. Machete offers it as part of its platform.

Delivery model, languages and supported regions

The compliance tools are delivered natively inside the casino platform rather than as a separate stack, and they read from the same shared player record as the PAM, payments and iGaming CRM modules. Identity checks run automatically at registration and at withdrawal triggers.

KYC, PEP and sanctions screening

Document verification covers passport, national ID and proof of address, alongside age verification, facial recognition and liveness checks. Screening includes PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) and sanctions and watchlist checks. Document, age, PEP and sanctions checks complete without manual review for the vast majority of players, according to the vendor. An enhanced due diligence workflow handles high-risk players.

AML monitoring and reporting

Each transaction is checked against configurable AML rules. Velocity spikes, structuring behaviour and source-of-funds flags surface in real time, with case management for suspicious activity. Support is included for STR (Suspicious Transaction Report) documentation, and full audit trails can be exported for regulatory reporting and inspection.

Fraud prevention and responsible gambling controls

Fraud tools include device fingerprinting, multi-account detection, payment rules such as velocity checks and card pattern analysis, chargeback risk scoring, geo-blocking by jurisdiction and IP reputation monitoring.

Operators holding a Curaçao, MGA or UK licence can run KYC, AML and self-exclusion checks from the same player record that drives payments and CRM, with exportable audit trails for inspection.
