Why this role exists:

This role exists to protect our sportsbook ecosystem from financial leaks and sophisticated fraud. You’ll help us maintain platform integrity and profitability by analyzing real-time betting data, neutralizing risks, and catching vulnerabilities before they scale.

What you’ll drive:

Real-Time Detection & Monitoring

• Validate live deposit and withdrawal activity using internal monitoring tools and anti-fraud alert systems.

• Detect and intercept suspicious transaction patterns, including carding, money laundering (AML), account takeover (ATO), and payment method abuse.

• Analyze player behavior at the cashier level to uncover organized fraud rings and sophisticated bonus abuse linked to payment schemes.

Risk Decisions & Execution

• Apply immediate risk mitigation actions, independently triggering transaction holds, account freezes, and payment method restrictions.

• Drive KYC and EDD (Enhanced Due Diligence) requests for suspicious accounts to strictly validate player identities and source of funds.

• Manage and resolve complex chargeback disputes and internal JSM tickets related to financial suspicions without compromising operational SLAs.

Cross-team Collaboration & Process Improvement

• Partner with Compliance, Payments, and Finance teams to conduct deep-dive investigations into financial anomalies and potential security breaches.

• Document audit-ready case notes and maintain accurate internal tracking tables for all anti-fraud and payment actions.

• Optimize workflows by reporting bugs in payment logic, clarifying risk rules, and suggesting improvements to automated velocity checks.
