Virtue Poker, a leading online poker platform, was facing significant challenges in managing multi-accounting and ensuring the integrity of their tournaments. The complexity of running synchronized, secure poker tournaments on the web led to developmental issues and inefficiencies. Additionally, the team encountered difficulties in accurately linking accounts and detecting fraudulent activities, such as players using the same device to create multiple accounts and access the same tournament.

1. Development Resources: As a growth-stage platform, Virtue Poker needed to focus its development on its product, and fraud & security were distracting their teams.
2. User Experience: Real users were worried about bad actors creating multiple accounts to cheat during poker tournaments

Real-time Accounts Linked Detection

Virtue Poker relies on Verisoul’s device fingerprinting and account linking products within its Fake Account Detection product suite. After integrating Verisoul in a few hours, Virtue Poker can now automatically detect when a player tries registering a 2nd time or joining a tournament with multiple player accounts.

Additionally, before users receive payments, Virtue Poker gets real-time data from Verisoul to verify the uniqueness of each account and prevent fraudsters and cheaters from withdrawing winnings.
