What does iGaming identity verification actually check?+
In one integration on the stronger platforms: document authenticity, a biometric selfie with liveness, age from the document for gating, AML screening against sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media lists, and proof of address. The deeper tiers add non-doc and database validation, KYB, Travel Rule, and reusable KYC. Sumsub and Veriff run the broadest spreads, while phone-centric Prove and eID-centric Signicat take narrower but differentiated routes.
Which identity vendors publish their pricing?+
Three of them, in a tier that otherwise sells by quote. iDenfy publishes the most granular schedule, a $1.35 base down to a $0.55 enterprise floor with pay-only-for-approved billing. Sumsub lists $1.35 Basic and $1.85 Compliance. Shufti Pro lists $0.75 for Standard with a $2,500 setup fee. Socure, GBG, Jumio, Prove, Veriff, IDnow, Signicat, and Entrust all quote on request.
Which registers list identity vendors, and what do the classes mean?+
The registers carry the detail a badge does not. In the UK, the OfDIA DIATF register lists certified providers with a confidence level, and Sumsub sits at medium and high, Entrust at the high-confidence H1A profile, and Veriff on the gamma framework. In the US, the Pennsylvania PGCB register distinguishes Certified from Registered, with Socure, GBG (as IDology), and Shufti Pro Certified, while Prove and AU10TIX are Registered.
Why does Entrust score low when Onfido was a big name?+
Because no named gambling operator carried over from the rebrand. Entrust inherited a mature engine and a high-confidence DIATF trail from Onfido, and both are real. No first-party named gambling operator carries over from the onfido.com era, and the named clients on today's roster are non-gaming. A strong platform with a zero-operator gaming footprint scores where the weights put it.
Is a vendor mid-acquisition risky to sign?+
It carries a specific risk worth pricing. IDnow's Corsair acquisition, announced in March 2025, is pending completion as of July 2026, and Entrust is mid-rename from Onfido with a published SDK deprecation path. A transition can bring roadmap uncertainty, connector changes, and support churn, none of which show up in a feature list. Ask where the product sits today, who owns the roadmap, and what the SDK migration path is, then weigh that against the score rather than assuming the deal is neutral.
Can one identity vendor cover both onboarding and AML?+
Most of the stronger ones do, but read the tiering. Sumsub folds AML screening plus ongoing monitoring into its Compliance tier, and GBG, Jumio, and others screen AML alongside identity. The line to watch is what sits behind the paywall. For dedicated ongoing monitoring and case management at scale, the fraud and AML guide covers the vendors built for that job.
