EveryMatrix Introduces Bonus Guardian To Combat Bonus Abuse
EveryMatrix has introduced Bonus Guardian, an AI-driven system built to counter bonus abuse. The tool targets a fast-evolving fraud category that now represents the majority of detected incidents across the online gambling sector.
A New Approach To A Worsening Fraud Challenge
Bonus Guardian sits within the company’s BonusEngine and EngageSuite stack and is designed to give operators an early warning system against behaviour that erodes marketing ROI. The tool reviews player activity in real time, adjusts to new tactics, and applies targeted responses that range from bonus exclusion to withdrawal holds.
Recent industry data indicates that bonus abuse accounts for more than 63 percent of all recorded fraud. Fraudsters are increasingly relying on automation, synthetic identities, and AI to exploit promotional campaigns, while operators must maintain easy onboarding and appealing rewards in a competitive market. This combination has made bonus abuse one of the most difficult threats to manage.
Purpose Built For Promotional Misuse
Bonus Guardian is engineered specifically for bonus abuse scenarios rather than general fraud detection. It can be integrated with key operator systems such as payment processing and account management, enabling it to act instantly when it identifies high-risk behaviour.
The platform’s machine learning models update continuously as new patterns appear, lowering the rate of false positives and reducing manual workload. Legitimate players remain unaffected, while suspected abusers face immediate intervention. According to EveryMatrix, the system helps operators:
-
Prevent revenue loss by identifying and blocking abuse at an early stage
-
Improve segmentation precision and player lifetime value
-
Reduce operational friction through automated, role-based controls
-
Prepare for future threats including deepfakes, AI-generated accounts, and coordinated abuse groups
“Everyone in iGaming knows about the battle between fraudsters and anti-fraud prevention tools. Each side wants to get ahead of the other, but with Bonus Guardian, we strongly believe we have a definite edge. Bonus Guardian is not just another fraud filter. It is a living shield that adapts to everything that is thrown at it thanks to the power of AI,” commented Stian Enger, Head of Casino at EveryMatrix.
