iGaming Fraud is Bigger Than You Think—and Growing Fast
Online gaming isn’t just “the next big thing.”
It is the big thing.
The global iGaming market is worth $88B+ in 2024.
And by 2030? It’s expected to hit $153B.
That’s deep. That’s wide.
And that’s a huge surface area for fraud.
Now, zoom in.
Over $14.2B is lost annually to bonus abuse and multi-accounting.
51% of operators rank fraud as a top business risk.
And 40% of account takeovers in iGaming involve bots.
Let that sink in.
So what’s really going on here?
We can break it into 3 core categories of fraud:
Identity & Access Fraud
Fake signups, stolen accounts, and bot-driven logins that bypass basic security.
Gameplay Manipulation Fraud
Collusion, casino-run bots, or scripts that kill fairness and ruin trust.
Promotional & Financial Abuse
Fake accounts farming bonuses, or manipulating deposits and withdrawals to evade rules.
Each one eats into trust, compliance, and bottom line.
And each one requires more than just alerts and firewalls.
That’s where CrossClassify comes in.
