Facial recognition firm ClientScan to Pitch! At Regulating the Game London 2023

Specialist regulatory and compliance advisor Paul Newson, Principal at Vanguard Overwatch has announced ClientScan, a facial detection and recognition technology developer, as the second company confirmed to be taking part in in Pitch! night at the inaugural “Regulating the Game” (RTG) London in September.

Pitch! – part of the RTG gambling regulation education program to be held in London from 25 to 29 September – is a unique concept by which innovative firms and individuals are invited to pitch their ideas to the sector.

According to information provided by Newson, ClientScan simplifies how operators can recognize and protect gamblers who have chosen to self-exclude from placing a bet on-site. Robin Paine and Laura Bedborough will show live how the retail self-exclusion process detects, in less than a tenth of a second and with an accuracy rate of over 99%, the self-excluded gambler and sends an alert.

Pitch! night is one of three key networking events at the London conference, which brings together innovators and the sector to platform new technologies, research and policy thinking that help industry meet and exceed minimum standards, advance efficient and effective regulation and help invigorate the sector.

“Pitch! @RTG is about showcasing leading-edge products and services, platforming innovation and sparking interest in technology, research and regulatory policy and practice that can uplift capability, advance AML, safer gambling and operational outcomes, and help invigorate the sector,” said Paul Newson, Principal at Vanguard Overwatch.

Throughout the 5-day conference, attendees will hear from leading regulators and industry experts, exchange perspectives, knowledge and insights, and build connections that uplift capability and forge a greater understanding of emerging and potential threats to the sector. Frank discussion is aimed at challenging and provoking thinking while probing key issues, encouraging individuals and organizations across the sector to think critically about how those challenges can be overcome.

Speakers already confirmed for Regulating the Game London 2023 include Ian Smith, Commissioner, Esports Integrity Commission; Wes Himes, Executive Director, Standards and Innovation, Betting and Gaming Council (BGC); Dan Hartman, Former Director of the Colorado Division of Gaming; Becky Harris, Former Chair, Nevada Gaming Control Board; Cathy Judd-Stein, Chair of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission; ANJ Chairwoman Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin; and Harris Tsangarides, CEO, Cyprus Gaming and Casino Supervision Commission.
