Shufti, DeGaming partner on verified Web3 iGaming onboarding

Shufti and DeGaming have formed a strategic partnership to embed KYC and AML checks into DeGaming’s player account system for casino and sportsbook operators. The move is aimed at speeding onboarding, improving compliance, and adding transparent identity verification to Web3 iGaming workflows across global markets.

Why it matters: - The partnership puts identity verification inside the same system operators already use to manage player accounts. - Casino and sportsbook operators can onboard players faster while keeping KYC and AML checks in place. - The setup is designed to reduce operational complexity for operators entering new markets or handling both fiat and crypto deposits.

What happened: - Shufti announced a strategic partnership with DeGaming on Oct. 7, 2026. - Shufti’s AI-powered KYC and AML tools are now integrated into DeGaming’s Player Account Management system. - The integration is aimed at casino and sportsbook operators using DeGaming’s Web3-native iGaming infrastructure. - The companies say the goal is a simpler onboarding flow from sign-up to first deposit.

The details: - Identity checks, liveness detection and AML screening now run inside DeGaming’s PAM system. - Operators do not need complex plug-ins or a separate verification stack. - Operators also avoid rebuilding onboarding every time they enter a new market. - A player can sign up in Europe, LATAM or Asia and deposit in fiat or crypto through one Shufti flow. - DeGaming’s Glass Vault architecture writes deposits, bets, wins, withdrawals, cashback, rakeback, free spins and other incentive payouts to the blockchain in real time. - Shufti’s identity verification covers 240+ countries and territories, 10,000+ active document types and 150+ languages. - Shufti’s passive liveness detection has achieved iBeta Level 3 conformance with a 0% error rate. - The screening stack includes 4,000+ global watchlists, 6+ million PEP profiles and 215+ sanctions regimes refreshed every 15 minutes. - Shufti is a compliance provider with more than 2,000 businesses worldwide using its services. - Shufti says it is the first European company to achieve iBeta Level 3 conformance for single-selfie passive liveness detection on iOS and Android under ISO/IEC 30107-3. - Shufti is also certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. - DeGaming launched in 2026 and serves operators across Europe, LATAM and Asia. - DeGaming supports both fiat and crypto deposits.

Between the lines: - The partnership blends on-chain transparency with off-chain identity verification. - DeGaming’s pitch centers on “observable truth” for financial activity, while Shufti adds verified player identity at the front end. - For operators, the combined model could help link compliance, onboarding and transaction visibility in one workflow. - For players, the practical effect is a sign-up process that should feel less fragmented.

What’s next: - Operators working with DeGaming can now access Shufti KYC and AML verification as part of DeGaming’s existing offering. - Shufti is positioning gaming as a priority vertical and expects partnerships like this to support growth in the sector. - Both companies are likely to use the integration to push deeper into global iGaming markets where compliance demands vary by region.

The bottom line: - Shufti and DeGaming are betting that verified identity and transparent on-chain infrastructure can make Web3 iGaming easier to run and easier to trust.
