Behavioral Biometrics in Gambling Compliance

**Behavioral Biometrics** is a compliance technology that analyzes user interaction patterns—such as keystroke dynamics, mouse curvature, and touch pressure—to verify identity and detect anomalies. Emerging as a response to sophisticated fraud and strict regulatory demands (like the UKGC's harm prevention mandates), it shifts security from static checks (passwords) to **continuous authentication**. **Key Functions:** * **Fraud Prevention:** Detects bots, Remote Access Trojans (RATs), and account takeovers by identifying non-human or uncharacteristic motor skills. * **Responsible Gaming:** Identifies markers of distress, such as erratic clicking or aggressive swiping, allowing operators to intervene before financial harm occurs. * **Evasion Detection:** Prevents banned players from opening new accounts (multi-accounting) by recognizing their unique physical interaction signature, even if they use different names or devices.
