BACKGROUND

BettorEdge, an online social betting platform operating in over 45 states across the U.S., faced the challenge of finding a robust Know Your Customer (KYC) solution. They needed a solution that could securely and efficiently onboard thousands of users while verifying their identities, scale with their organization while maintaining its security and functionality, simplify the onboarding process, and prevent identity theft.

  • Onboard thousands of users while ensuring their identities are verified.

  • Scale efficiently with their organization without compromising on security or functionality.

  • Streamline the onboarding process without creating unnecessary friction for users.

  • Detect and prevent identity theft during the onboarding process.

THE SOLUTION

BettorEdge embraced Vouched's AI-driven ID verification solution, aiming for a seamless integration into their platform. The choice was motivated by Vouched's ability to provide a swift, straightforward setup, crucial for BettorEdge's streamlined operations. And the results were impressive.

 

THE RESULT
