These tools enable us to detect players likely to cheat and contravene the rules, for example by using bots, or by teaming up with other players to distort game results.
As part of the prevention and fight against excessive gambling, we are implementing player monitoring tools to detect suspicious or risky behaviour. The use of algorithmic solutions aims to identify players likely to develop addictive and excessive behaviour, in particular by analysing the time spent playing, the frequency of deposits, the nature and volume of bets, the location and IP addresses of the terminals used. However, no decision is made without human intervention. These solutions allow us to comply with our legal obligations.
