Fraud has evolved into a digital arms race, with both insurers and online gaming operators facing increasingly complex threats — from identity theft to synthetic profiles and transaction spoofing. Yet, the gaming industry’s ability to operate in real time and handle millions of microtransactions has driven the creation of fast, adaptive fraud detection systems that insurers can learn from. Through real-time monitoring, behavioural analytics, layered identity verification, and self-learning algorithms, gaming platforms have built sophisticated defences that continuously evolve with new threats. Their collaborative approach, sharing fraud intelligence across networks, further strengthens their protection. Insurers adopting similar models can move from reactive detection to proactive prevention, catching anomalies before they turn into costly fraud. As fraudsters grow smarter, agility and innovation will define who stays ahead.
