For any firm processing online transactions, ensuring a strong shield against fraud is of top priority. And for platforms hosting fantasy sports and online gaming, ensuring a fair play from all users and real-time fraud detection is a first line of defence. Traditionally, rule based engines formed the crux of anomaly and fraud detection. But maintaining a rule engine and adapting to new patterns of abuse are tedious tasks. We’ll see how Machine learning can help us ensure fair play on the platform using user and system finger printing.
