Identity Verification for Gaming & iGaming
Real-money gaming and betting platforms typically must verify a player’s identity and age before allowing deposits or wagers. FacePlugin runs that verification on your own infrastructure – face matching, liveness, and ID document recognition, licensed once and run unmetered.

Overview
Verifying Players Without Slowing Down Onboarding
Online gambling and real-money gaming platforms operate under licensing regimes that typically require player identity and age verification before deposits or wagering are allowed, and operators separately need to guard against account-sharing and bonus-abuse fraud. A slow or expensive verification step directly hurts conversion, which is why on-premises, unmetered SDKs are attractive at this scale.
FacePlugin combines ID document recognition (reading the player’s date of birth and document details), face matching (confirming the player is who the document says), and liveness detection (confirming a live person, not a photo or deepfake, is completing onboarding) – all running on infrastructure you control, with no per-player API fee.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does FacePlugin check self-exclusion or responsible-gambling registries?
No. FacePlugin verifies that a player is who their ID says they are and that they’re physically present and real. Checking that identity against a self-exclusion list or responsible-gambling registry is a separate system operators typically run alongside it.
Does this satisfy our gaming license’s KYC requirements on its own?
FacePlugin provides the identity-verification and biometric layer – document reading, face matching, and liveness – that a licensed operator’s broader KYC program is typically built around. Whether it fully satisfies a specific license’s requirements is a compliance question for your legal team, since requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Can liveness detection catch deepfake onboarding attempts?
FacePlugin’s liveness detection and separate Deepfake Detection SDK are both built to flag AI-generated and manipulated faces, which is a growing vector for synthetic-identity fraud in online gaming specifically.
