Sumsub has been ranked the number one fraud prevention vendor for iGaming in Gambling IQ’s 2026 “Defenders of Trust” industry report, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of fraud mitigation and compliance technology for gambling operators.
The latest ranking builds on Gambling IQ’s 2025 recognition of Sumsub among the sector’s leading fraud prevention companies. In its 2026 assessment, Gambling IQ placed Sumsub at the top of the rankings, citing the platform’s ability to address the full spectrum of iGaming fraud – from onboarding risk to post-onboarding risks, such as bonus abuse, account takeover, and money laundering.
The report highlights Sumsub’s strength in tackling threats such as bonus abuse, account takeovers, coordinated betting activity, synthetic identities, and AI-generated documents, noting the importance of solutions that operate beyond initial KYC checks.
Sumsub’s platform combines identity verification with transaction monitoring, device intelligence, behavioural analysis, and dynamic risk scoring, enabling operators to detect and disrupt fraud across the entire player lifecycle while maintaining a smooth user experience for legitimate players.
“Fraud in iGaming no longer happens in isolated bursts. The real risk emerges after a player is onboarded, where bonus abuse, collusion, and coordinated rings are increasingly amplified by AI tools,” said Kris Galloway, Head of iGaming Product at Sumsub. “Being ranked number one reflects the industry’s shift toward continuous, multi-layered fraud prevention. This spots suspicious behaviour in real time and keeps both revenue and players safe, and we’re proud to be leading that charge.”
The 2026 report includes commentary from Kris Galloway on emerging iGaming fraud trends, including the growing impact of AI-enabled abuse and the misuse of legitimate identities. Gambling IQ’s number one ranking reflects Sumsub’s ability to support over 4,000 clients globally with multi-layered, intelligence-led fraud prevention that protects revenue and players across the full lifecycle while maintaining a smooth user experience.
