Corytech showcased secure payment solutions at SiGMA Eurasia 2025, addressing the industry’s most pressing concern: reliable payment processing for iGaming operators in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
Key Takeaways:
- Anti-deepfake detection and biometric KYC emerged as critical security technologies for iGaming payments
- AI applications are revolutionizing responsible gambling prevention through early intervention
- Regulatory requirements for KYC and AML continue to tighten, demanding continuous verification processes
Security Innovations Take Center Stage
The SiGMA Eurasia 2025 event highlighted several technological advances reshaping payment processing in the iGaming sector. Deepfake fraud has become a significant threat, prompting the development of sophisticated AI detection systems. These technologies now employ real-time video identification and liveness detection, analyzing natural gestures and micro-movements to verify user authenticity and protect operators from fraud and compliance risks.
Biometric KYC solutions have transformed player onboarding by replacing traditional verification methods with automated facial and fingerprint scanning. This technology enables users to complete identity verification in under a minute, significantly improving conversion rates while maintaining regulatory compliance.
“The iGaming industry’s most profound shift is happening at the crossroads of technology, transparency, and responsibility. As innovation accelerates and regulations evolve, payment solutions must keep pace — serving as the backbone of sustainable growth and public confidence,” noted Corytech representatives at the event.
AI Transforms Responsible Gaming
Artificial intelligence is now playing a crucial role in problem gambling prevention. Operators are implementing real-time AI systems that analyze behavioral patterns to identify early warning signs of harmful gambling behaviors. These systems can detect concerning patterns such as loss chasing or excessive late-night play, enabling timely and personalized interventions.
As Eman Pulis, Founder of SiGMA Group, put it: “The industry’s future lies not just in technology, but in how we apply it responsibly: building ecosystems that are transparent, inclusive, and globally connected.”
Regulatory Landscape Evolves
The regulatory environment continues to tighten, with 2026 expected to bring more stringent KYC and AML compliance requirements. One-time verification processes are becoming insufficient as regulators increasingly demand continuous monitoring to prevent fraud and ensure player affordability. This shift is driving adoption of AI-powered biometric systems and liveness detection technologies to meet compliance demands and counter synthetic identity threats.
Personalization Drives Engagement
AI-driven personalization is redefining player engagement across iGaming platforms. Modern AI systems now dynamically customize entire gaming environments in real-time based on individual user behavior. Data indicates that AI-personalized messaging can increase engagement by up to 80%, highlighting the importance of relevance in player retention strategies.
The event also served as a vital networking hub, with industry stakeholders discussing expansion strategies, market entry approaches, and partnership opportunities for emerging markets.

I remember the first time I saw Kai Tak, Hong Kong’s gambling city, I thought I was in a fairy tale. All the lights blinking, the music and the monumental buildings, what 9-year-old wouldn’t think they’ve come to a magical place? It was my father who brought me, dragging me along and when inside I was hit by the smell of frying duck. As soon as I hit 21 I returned to Kai Tak, A bit nervous to see if my mind had embellished the memory, but it hadn’t. Kai Tak was still a magical place. I decided I wanted to spend as much time as I could at this place, so I did.
