Thoughts from a handful of our partners

“We didn’t just want to tick a regulatory box. Having worked with GeoComply in the US, we understood the potential of grounding identity in precise device and location intelligence — not only for compliance and anti-fraud, but for growth. By integrating these real-world signals into our KYC process, we’re seeing higher pass rates, lower friction, and far greater visibility into the funnel earlier in the user journey[…].”

– Anthony Cugnetto, Head of Product at Dabble

“With GeoComply, we’re not just in safe hands — we’re working with a team that genuinely cares about delivering a player-first experience. We’ve seen that show up in high pass rates and precise fraud signals, and the team is constantly working to make both even better. They’re a little obsessed, and we love it.”

– Sotiris Gialamas, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Novibet

“What impresses me the most is KYC pass rates. I don’t think there are many vendors out there that could say, ‘we’re giving you one endpoint where you could get 95% KYC pass rates.’ That kind of workflow—classic KYC plus selfie and document upload—can take years to build and integrate properly. GeoComply just delivers it.”

– Alex Ursa, Betr

Real fraud cases we’ve helped Brazilian operators bust

Multi-accounting

AML

ATO

Courtside

Rounding up a multi-accounting ring

The setup

Unique devices, unique users, unique gameplay. On the surface, this activity in southern Brazil seemed uneventful.

That is, until the operator ran our device manipulation detection model, which revealed details that typical device fingerprinting tools had missed. Here’s what they found.

The shutdown

With our location and device intelligence, the operator connected seemingly unique devices to a single high risk location.

This could be a hotspot for mule activity, in which previously legitimate players sold their account credentials to be used for fraud.

With this evidence, the operator was able to set up a perimeter alert to monitor, challenge, or deny activity at this location.

The signals


Our device and location intelligence revealed:

  • Signs of suspected fingerprint manipulation across multiple devices that had the exact same operating systems…
  • At the exact same residential location…
  • Where users were active for an average of ~4 days before neglecting the account…
  • And then resetting the device to repeat the process.

We found this one residential geohash had 97 users active across 123 “unique” devices.

 

Mapping money laundering on the Brazil/Paraguay border

The setup

An online poker operator saw suspicious account activity along the Brazil/Paraguay border.

A border agent playing on their break? A backpacker betting their way along the borderline?

The operator tapped into GeoComply’s location, device, and behavioural intelligence to get a clearer picture on what was going on. Here’s what they found.

The shutdown

Our signals painted a strong hypothesis of money laundering activity, in which a criminal might be:

  • Flying into Paraguay
  • Exchanging dirty money into Brazil reais
  • Attempting to “clean” it by placing wagers in Brazil
  • Crossing back into Paraguay
  • Withdrawing the funds

With real-time precise location intelligence and explainable, substantiated evidence, the operator had exactly what they needed to confidently proceed with an AML investigation.

With GeoComply, operators can receive alerts in CMS or set up an automated response via API, triggering step-up verification, a block, or further investigation when they see activity from a suspicious device or location.

Learn more about how continuous behavioural monitoring can strengthen your AML controls.

The signals


Through our precise location data and behavioural monitoring, we saw this player:

  • Was active at a currency exchange in Paraguay, and then traveled across the border to Brazil.
  • In Brazil, they placed a high volume of wagers, before travelling back to Paraguay.
  • They visited the currency exchange again and repeated this activity over several days.
  • Their last geolocation was at a local airport.

 

Uncovering the ATO ring hiding in plain sight

The setup

A spike in reported account takeover activity in Brazil triggered suspicion.

The operator investigated and confirmed the cases as fraud, but they were missing a major piece of the puzzle.

They partnered with us to dig deeper into the location and device signals associated with the affected accounts. Here’s what they found.

The shutdown

With our location and device intelligence, the operator could see exactly where the ATO attacks were originating from.

This intel allowed them to stop future activity at this location by setting up a perimeter alert and automatically challenging, monitoring, or denying future transactions at this high risk hotspot.

With GeoComply, operators can get the signals delivered in real-time, via API and through customized dashboards in our Case Management System.

The signals


After investigating one cluster of activity, our location and device intelligence revealed:

  • 13 users were active on the same two device types…
  • In the same residential building…
  • Which was flagged as a high-risk location by our ML models.

We found that over the past 60 days, this geohash had a record of 68 users active across 263 “unique” devices, which had been manipulated and reset.

 

Catching courtside betting in Maracanãzinho stadium

The setup

During the Volleyball Nations League tournament Brazil met Italy in a high-stakes match filled with home-court supporters. Passionate fans placed bets in the stadium, inspired by the atmosphere.

But one particular player stood out.

The shutdown

Our precise location and device intelligence quickly flagged suspicious activity within the stadium, allowing the operator’s team to look closer into the player and their account behaviour.

This intelligence gives operators the proof they need to take immediate action or step-up an investigation.

The signals


Unlike other users placing bets in the stadium, this particular player:

  • Had historical activity of placing in-stadium bets
  • Was running suspicious applications (such as peer-to-peer communications)
  • Was active on a device that had previously been suspected of collusion

We flagged this with the operator, pointing to potential courtside betting.

Frequently asked questions about how GeoComply works for Brazil

GeoComply provides precise geolocation down to 5 meters accuracy—not city-level location.

  • GeoComply uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular triangulation instead of IP lookup
  • IP-based location only identifies general areas like cities or regions
  • GeoComply detects fraud patterns that IP data cannot capture

Why it matters:

IP-based location (offered by many KYC and compliance providers) can only tell you the city or general area a player is in. GeoComply pinpoints the specific building, floor, or room. This precision is critical for detecting multi-accounting rings operating from single residential locations, tracking cross-border movement patterns for AML investigations, and identifying high-risk fraud hotspots that IP data completely misses.

KYC providers verify identity, while GeoComply verifies location, device integrity, and behavior.

  • KYC providers confirm who the player is
  • GeoComply verifies where they are, what device they’re using, and how they behave
  • Many operators in Brazil use both together

Why it matters:

Local KYC providers in Brazil focus on identity verification and offer IP-based location as a compliance add-on. GeoComply specializes in precise geolocation (down to 5m accuracy) and deep device fingerprinting that detects manipulation, factory resets, and spoofing attempts. While KYC providers tell you who the player claims to be, GeoComply reveals where they actually are, what device they’re truly using, and how they’re behaving—surfacing risk patterns that identity verification alone cannot catch.

GeoComply enhances or replaces basic fraud tools by combining location, device, and behavioral intelligence.

  • GeoComply combines precise location, device fingerprinting, and behavior signals
  • Many fraud platforms rely primarily on device fingerprinting alone
  • GeoComply is specifically tuned for Brazil’s fraud landscape

Why it matters:

GeoComply adds precise geolocation context that reveals patterns single-signal solutions miss—like dozens of users operating from a single residential address or cross-border money laundering circuits. Our ML models are tuned for Brazil-specific fraud patterns such as loyalty promo abuse, multi-accounting, and device manipulation.

GeoComply combines Brazil expertise with global, battle-tested geolocation technology.

  • 15+ years of experience in regulated iGaming
  • 300 engineers and 2.4B geolocation checks monthly
  • Up to 99.7% pass rates and 99.999% uptime
  • Proven across 30+ jurisdictions

Why it matters:

GeoComply delivers both local commitment and global scale. Our technology has solved friction and compliance challenges across regulated markets worldwide, giving Brazil operators a proven solution built specifically for iGaming.

GeoComply detects the most common and emerging fraud patterns in Brazil iGaming.

  • Loyalty bonus abuse using dormant accounts
  • Odds exploitation based on pricing errors
  • Multi-accounting using manipulated devices
  • Cross-border money laundering
  • Courtside betting, account takeover (ATO), and arbitrage

Why it matters:

GeoComply’s ML models are specifically tuned for Brazil’s fraud landscape. Fraudsters often create verified accounts, leave them inactive, and activate them in coordinated waves when promotions launch. We also detect device manipulation, mule account operations, and location spoofing patterns unique to Brazil.

GeoComply detects coordinated bonus abuse patterns across devices, locations, and timing.

  • Identifies dormant accounts waiting for promotions
  • Detects device manipulation and factory resets
  • Tracks coordinated spikes in account activity
  • Example: 97 users across 123 devices at one address

Why it matters:

Fraudsters in Brazil create legitimate accounts and activate them only when loyalty promotions drop. GeoComply identifies shared devices, repeated locations, and synchronized activity—allowing operators to detect and stop these schemes before losses escalate.

Precise geolocation delivers immediate fraud detection value beyond compliance.

  • Detects multi-accounting at residential locations
  • Tracks cross-border fraud and AML patterns
  • Tracks coordinated spikes in account activity
  • Identifies courtside betting in real time
  • Future-proofs operators for regulatory enforcement

Why it matters:

Even before enforcement increases, operators use GeoComply to detect fraud patterns that IP-based location cannot capture. When enforcement tightens—as it has in every regulated market—operators using precise geolocation are already compliant.

Integration timelines vary depending on platform setup and resources.

  • Includes testing, certification, and launch phases
  • Tracks cross-border fraud and AML patterns
  • Typical timelines range from a few weeks to several months
  • GeoComply provides dedicated solution architects and FARM support

Why it matters:

GeoComply works at your team’s pace, whether you have limited resources or a dedicated integration team. We support the full process from testing through deployment.

Operators can configure detection sensitivity and automated responses.

  • Set thresholds based on your risk appetite
  • Configure actions: monitor, step-up verification, or block
  • FARM team supports ongoing optimization

Why it matters:

GeoComply balances flexibility with compliance. Operators can tailor responses while GeoComply manages underlying rules to meet regulatory requirements.

GeoComply integrates with platform providers serving multiple operators.

  • Available through third-party platforms
  • One integration supports multiple brands
  • No need for separate vendor setups

Why it matters:

Operators can access geolocation, device intelligence, and fraud detection through their existing platform provider without additional technical overhead.

GeoComply operates in full compliance with Brazil’s LGPD.

  • Covers CPF, biometric, and location data
  • Transparent data handling practices
  • Supports operator compliance requirements

  • Government Relations team works with regulators
  • Real-time monitoring of regulatory updates
  • Experience across 30+ jurisdictions

Why it matters:

GeoComply updates its solutions as regulations evolve, helping operators remain compliant without needing constant internal adjustments.

GeoComply supports fraud prevention and AML compliance for financial services.

  • Works with payment providers, wallets, and fintechs
  • Detects chargeback fraud and account abuse
  • Supports Central Bank regulatory requirements

Why it matters:

GeoComply’s location, device, and behavioral intelligence extends beyond iGaming, helping financial services companies detect fraud and meet compliance standards.
