eGR nabs Featurespace as anti-fraud kings

Last night’s 2014 eGR B2B Awards saw adaptive behavioural analytics experts Featurespace as the winners of the year’s best “Fraud and Compliance Solution”.

Now in its fifth year, the eGR B2B Awards celebrate the online gaming industry’s top service providers, rewarding the achievements of a variety of major egaming disciplines, including IT and infrastructure, betting and gaming software, networks, payments, recruitment, and mobile.

Featurespace, is best known for empowering internet gaming powerhouse Betfair to have the lowest fraud rates in the industry. For the Cambridge University spin-out, the award is a fitting conclusion to a near-win in 2011, when Featurespace received recognition as the winner of two categories: “Winner Services Rising Star” and “Highly Commended Fraud and Compliance Solution of the Year.” Since then, the company has advanced to the forefront of the anti-fraud world as technological leaders, with an innovative machine learning system that catches fraudsters by analysing individual behavioural patterns in data. A rapid accumulation of customers and notoriety has turned this rising star into the hands-down best in fraud detection.

Dave Excell, Featurespace CTO, thanked the company’s customers in the Gaming Industry for their support. “This is the egaming event of the year, and we are pleased to receive the industry’s continued recognition of our growing strength as fraud prevention innovators.’

The company is also gaining traction for its churn protection and responsible gambling software. Featurespace was recently chosen by the Responsible Gambling Trust as the only industry provider of data analytics for the charity’s B2 Gaming Machines research.
