The value of that statement isn’t lost on many tech-driven industries like sports betting and iGaming, and as the world evolves into a tech-driven landscape and more industries shift to mobile-first interactions, content, and technology, it’s crucial that personal data and information are secure while online.

With dedicated teams working around the clock, Altenar builds robust security frameworks—from internal requirements to external compliance mandates. 

This article will guide you through the security features of sportsbook software and provide deeper insight into Altenar’s use of Google Cloud Platform (GCP)—a SaaS solution that strengthens player data protection and enhances bettor satisfaction.

Features For High-Security Sportsbook Operations 

As a sportsbook software provider, Altenar has extensive experience in hosting and applying a broad range of security protocols to help ensure global operator compliance and bettor safety. Below are essential sportsbook security features you should know… 

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Encryption

SSL ensures data confidentiality and preserves the integrity of data by protecting it from unauthorized access or tampering. In addition, SSL encryption helps sportsbook providers and operators comply with security frameworks and regulations such as ISO/IEC 27001.  Overall, using SSL builds trust between you and your players, signaling your commitment to safeguarding their sensitive and private data.

Two-Factor Authentication

Providing an added layer of security, two-factor authentication enhances protection—ensuring that even if malicious actors gain access to credentials, unauthorized entry is still prevented. This security feature is easy to implement and offers your players peace of mind through multiple authentication method options.

Fraud Detection and Prevention

Sportsbook providers and operators have multiple tools to detect and prevent fraud. These include monitoring betting patterns, implementing know-your-customer (KYC) procedures, setting betting limits, working with law enforcement, utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning, conducting regular audits, and creating suspicious activity reports. 

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Measures

Anti-money laundering compliance is critical in sports betting. Altenar adheres to strict AML measures such as customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, comprehensive KYC, risk evaluation, employee education, proper reporting, and leveraging data analytics and technology to remain compliant and proactive.

Identity Verification

Identity verification helps prevent fraud, protects personal data, ensures regulatory compliance, improves player experience, builds trust, and streamlines business processes.

Regular Security Audits

Regular audits are essential for sportsbook providers. They help identify and resolve vulnerabilities, ensure regulatory compliance, safeguard bettor data, boost trust between players and operators, improve operational continuity, and reduce financial risk.
