It is being held a day before the London ICE Totally Gaming conference, the world's largest international gambling business event.
"The United Kingdom's $7 billion online gambling industry is rife with ways that cybercriminals are looking to commit fraud, from colluding in money laundering to hijacking trusted accounts," said iovation's Vice President of Product Scott Olson.

"Understanding the costs included in a ROI calculation, and the importance placed on reduced fraud losses verses increased revenue is very important," says Gaddis. "We'll discuss uplift components including fraudulent accounts identified through device intelligence, transactions prevented from returning abusers, review costs reduced by stopping repeat offenders and technology infrastructure investments minimized with third-party vendors."
