iGaming Industry Challenges
The iGaming industry is characterised by rapid growth, but it also faces significant challenges:
- Regulatory Pressure: With a fragmented compliance landscape, operators must adhere to different regulations across regions. Failure to comply can result in hefty fines and damage to reputation.
- User Experience: Players demand fast and frictionless access to gaming platforms. High levels of verification friction can lead to abandoned sign-ups and lost revenue.
- Fraud and Identity Theft: The sector is a prime target for fraudsters who exploit weak identity verification processes, leading to account takeovers, bonus abuse, and fraudulent users.
- Thin Credit files: Younger players are eager to onboard but may not have a credit history to check, this is where information from their network operator is invaluable.
- Underage Gambling: Ensuring that underage individuals are not accessing gambling platforms is a critical responsibility, requiring robust age verification processes.
How Sekura.id Addresses These Challenges

MPM enables operators to match the mobile number provided by the player with the data held by mobile network operators, including name, address, and date of birth. This real-time validation significantly reduces the risk of fraud, identity theft, and underage gambling by ensuring that the person registering is who they claim to be.

Broad Coverage & Convenience
With Sekura.id’s services covering over 2.5 billion people globally, banks can ensure secure and reliable identity verification and authentication across diverse geographies.
What about eSIMs? With the advent of embedded SIMs (eSIMs), mobile identities can be provisioned and managed remotely, providing additional flexibility and security.
Cryptographic Capabilities
SIM cards come with built-in cryptographic capabilities, allowing them to perform encryption and decryption operations securely within the hardware.
They facilitate secure key management, ensuring that cryptographic keys are generated, stored, and used in a secure manner.
Isolation from Device OS
The security functions of the SIM card are isolated from the device’s operating system, reducing the risk of software-based attacks.Since the SIM operates independently of the device's OS, the attack surface for malicious software is significantly reduced.
