ClearStake, the digital due diligence specialists for the iGaming industry, has released ID by Bank, a new player identity and verification product.

ID by Bank is designed to minimise operator exposure to identity fraud, while also significantly reducing the player drop-off when requesting physical ID documents.

The new product fundamentally changes the way operators can identify and verify players. By securely confirming name, address and date of birth in real time via a player’s banking app, ClearStake delivers a solution that meets the Gambling Commission’s requirements for electronic verification providers.

This innovation comes at a critical time for the industry, with operators facing rising levels of identity fraud, including false documentation, deepfake videos and face swaps generated by artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, opt-in rates for physical document scans also remain stubbornly low.

It is the first time such a product has been available to iGaming operators in the UK, dramatically streamlining compliance processes, increasing player opt-in rate and combating fraud.

Martin Burt, CEO at ClearStake, said: “We all know about the challenges around physical document requests, and how they adversely impact the customer experience at registration and for later life customer due diligence checks. This new product is a natural fit for the ClearStake solution, offering a pathway to something far more efficient, where players can be identified to the highest standards without needing to upload a passport or driver’s license. It’s a fundamental paradigm shift in how operators ID their players, and we’re excited to lead the way as the first to bring this to the iGaming industry.”

Inspired Entertainment, Inc., a leading B2B provider of gaming content, systems, and solutions, is thrilled to announce the launch of Cops ‘n’ Robbers Bigger Big Money™ – the latest addition in the renowned Cops ‘n’ Robbers™ franchise. Now available in the UK B3, LBO market, this new release from Inspired’s Bell Fruit Games Studio builds on the popular Big Money mechanic, now enhanced with exciting new upgrades.

Cops ‘n’ Robbers Bigger Big Money™ sees the return of the beloved cop and robber duo in a high stakes adventure. Key features include the Big Money Bonus, Progressive Trail, Bonus upgrades, Reel modifiers, a gamble option and Fortune Spins.

Players will need to land three or more bonus symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger one of three Big Money bonuses, starting with a multiplier of up to 3x – the progressive trail offers multipliers up to 10x and during the bonus robber symbols act as cash collectors, accumulating swag bag values when they land.

Landing a cop or robber symbol will advance that character along the trail. Players have unlimited Free Spins until the cop catches the robber at which point the ID parade feature begins to decide the robbers fate. In the ID parade a spotlight will highlight each character then stop on one with the follow outcomes:

• Bert: The bonus ends, and accumulated winnings are awarded.
• Sid: The cop is pushed back two positions, and the bonus continues.
• Vic: The Robber advances to the next multiplier on the trail, and the bonus continues.

Adding even more excitement are upgrade modifiers. When triggered, eight golden safes appear revealing up to 6 different bonus upgrades:

• Cop freeze: Two Cops can land without advancing.
• Golden robbers: Special robber symbols step down one position per spin until no longer in view.
• Extra swag: Adds more swag bag symbols to the reels, increasing the chance of winning.
• Extra robbers: Adds more robber symbols to the reels.
• Increased swag: Swag bag values are increase up to 200x the current bet.

Cops ‘n’ Robbers Bigger Big Money™ offers players the opportunity to boost their winnings or trigger a Big Monus Bonus in the dual wheel gamble. The left wheel offers the chance to increase winnings by 10x, whilst the right wheel offers the chance to gamble for the Big Money, Super Big Money or Mega Big Money bonuses.

Players can customise their game play with Fortune Spins, activated via the feature button. Fortune Spins reels feature swag bag, robber and bonus symbols only, increasing the chance of triggering a bonus. If a bonus is awarded, all symbols return to the reels. When a robber symbol lands during Fortune Spins the cash values from all swag bag symbols in view are awarded.

The getaway van offers a lifeline for players during the Big Money Bonus and Fortune Spins. After a losing spin it may appear and hurl dynamite onto the reels, transforming symbols into swag bags or robbers to trigger a cash collection. If the robber is caught on the trail the getaway van may award the next multiplier on the trail.
