Account Takeover Protection for Gaming & Gambling Platforms

Gaming and gambling platforms rank among the most targeted industries for account takeover (ATO) attacks. Whether it’s for competitive advantage, monetary theft or fraudulent activity, hijacked accounts in this space can cause major financial and reputational damage — to users and operators alike. Identeco helps platform providers identify at-risk accounts before damage is done.

Challenges in the security management of gaming & gambling platforms

1. Sensitive player and payment data

Accounts often hold valuable assets: in-game items, virtual currencies, skins, connected wallets or stored payment methods. A successful breach can result in direct financial loss or resale on black markets.

2. Reused passwords and credential stuffing

Many users reuse passwords across platforms. Attackers exploit leaked credentials from other breaches to access gaming or gambling accounts in bulk through automated login attempts.

3. Threats to both players and operators

If a player account is hijacked, assets can be stolen or reputations harmed. But operator accounts are also at risk: attackers might manipulate payouts, odds, or access sensitive business data.

4. Abuse of compromised accounts

Stolen accounts may be used for botting, real-money trading (RMT), money laundering, or spreading spam and scams inside the platform.

Identeco – Security for gaming and gambling portals

1. Real-time detection of account takeover attempts

Identeco continuously monitors for signs of compromise and detects when user credentials have been leaked — long before malicious logins occur.

2. Automated threat response

Platform operators can automatically enforce 2FA, block logins, restrict transactions or freeze sensitive actions when threats are detected — all without impacting the experience of legitimate players.

3. Re-engagement of dormant or vulnerable accounts

Security alerts can be used not only to prevent abuse, but also to reactivate lapsed users — by prompting a secure login or password update.
