Fraud against gambling operators, and the controls that address it without costing more than they save. The course covers the threat landscape and why the category boundaries matter, identity and account fraud from synthetic identities to account takeover, payment fraud in both directions including the friendly-fraud problem, promotional abuse and why it is a drafting discipline rather than an enforcement one, detection systems and what a model was actually trained on, investigation practice that tests a hypothesis rather than confirming it, and building a function that reports both sides of its own effect.
Written for fraud and risk teams, payments staff, and the compliance and commercial people who have to live with the controls. It assumes you know how deposits, withdrawals and bonusing work.
The connecting theme is a trade-off nobody measures. Prevented fraud is counted, attributed and celebrated; declined legitimate customers are a number nobody owns. Operators that close that gap routinely find at least one blunt control costing more than the fraud it prevents.
