- Re-verification procedures when there are suspicions of account misuse, changes in user information, or unusual activity
3. Ongoing Monitoring and Transaction Analysis
Methspin Casino continuously monitors user transactions and account activity to detect suspicious patterns or behavior that may indicate money laundering or terrorism financing. This monitoring includes real-time analysis of deposits, withdrawals, and gameplay activity to identify unusual transaction sizes, frequency, or sources inconsistent with established user profiles. Automated systems flag transactions that deviate from normal behavior for further review by the Compliance Team.
