Facial KYC for iGaming
Netrik is facial KYC built for online casinos, sportsbooks and crypto casinos. A 10 second live face check in the browser ties every account to one real person, and checks it again whenever it matters.
What facial KYC is
Facial KYC verifies a player against their own live face instead of a pile of documents. The player registers their face once. After that, a quick facial verification at login, withdrawal or any risky moment proves it's the same real person, live, right now. One face means one account.
Why iGaming needs it
- Multi accounting. The same face can't register twice under different names or emails.
- Bonus abuse. Bonus hunters can't farm welcome offers with new accounts.
- Account takeover. Stolen passwords stop at the camera when the face is checked again before cash out.
- Minors and self exclusion. An AI age estimate and a live face check back your age and responsible gaming policies.
How a Netrik check works
- Register once. The player fits their face to the mask on any phone or laptop. No documents, no app.
- Verify in seconds. A random head turn and blink challenge proves the player is live and the same person. It takes about ten seconds.
- Act on the result. Your backend gets the verdict by HMAC signed webhook. The player only ever sees pass or fail.
What the AI face analysis checks
- Liveness, with a random head turn and blink challenge a recorded video can't follow
- Anti spoof, an AI model that looks for printed photos and screens
- A 1:1 face match against the registered player, 99.3% accurate on the LFW benchmark with 0.1% false accepts
- A duplicate face search at registration, so one person can't open a second account
- An age estimate from the selfie, a signal for your age checks
Facial KYC for crypto casinos
Crypto casinos and sportsbooks often onboard players without paperwork. Facial verification fits that flow: no documents to collect, one live face per account, checked again at withdrawal. Netrik is paid in crypto too, with plans in USDT on Ethereum, confirmed on chain.
Privacy and security
- Face photos are sealed with your own key. Only you can open them, not even Netrik.
- Face templates are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
- Every webhook is signed with HMAC SHA-256 and timestamped.
- Players learn only pass or fail. The scores go to you alone.

Questions
Does facial KYC replace document KYC?
Not on its own. Netrik proves a live, real person is behind the account and that it's the same person every time, and stops one person holding many accounts. Where your licence needs identity documents, use it alongside your document check. It is built for everyday fraud prevention, not as certified identity proofing.
How long does integration take?
Usually an afternoon. Create a session from your backend with one API call, send the player to the link or run our web SDK on your page, and get the result by HMAC signed webhook.
Which devices work?
Any modern phone or laptop browser with a camera, on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Players install nothing. The check speaks eight languages.
