The fear
Losing players to sites that pay no tax and hold no licence, with nothing to take to a regulator.

What you cannot see
Your members lose players to sites that pay no tax and hold no licence. What they can show a regulator is a channelling estimate, and an estimate is arguable.
The illegal operator does not need to move dirty money. It needs a clean-looking merchant account. The site sells gambling. The merchant record says general retail. The payment settles anyway.
That means the traffic your members are losing is measurable at the payment layer, and nowhere in the market is anyone measuring it. No member can do it alone without being seen doing it.
The tools to block exist. The visibility to aim them does not.
What we supply
The acquiring BIN. The descriptor as it lands. The orchestrator in the middle. The settlement route.
Chain of custody on every artifact. Timestamped, reproducible, formatted for compliance-programme intake.
No intrusion. No scraping behind authentication. We do not induce a merchant to do anything it was not already doing. No payment above a pre-set cap. No contingency fees on evidential work.
How it is delivered
Commissioned investigation — you name the operators, the merchant portfolio or the market. We return forensic dossiers with chain of custody on every artifact. Scoped and priced per engagement.
Continuous coverage — collection across a market or vertical, refreshed as operators rotate shells and descriptors. Delivered as a screening list, with API access on engagement, and dossiers on attach.
Coalition programme — members of an association or a group of licensed operators fund a single programme and share the evidence pool. Shared cost, shared findings.
