Nevis and Swiss Casinos revolutionise customer security in the iGaming sector
ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, July 29, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nevis Security AG, specialist for secure, passwordless authentication solutions, announces its partnership with Swiss Casinos, the largest Swiss casino group. The collaboration strengthens Nevis’ position in the iGaming industry and enables Swiss Casinos to dramatically improve its customer experience via the powerful Nevis Authentication Cloud1 plus tailored customer identity and access management (CIAM). With innovative technologies and additional tools, Nevis offers Swiss Casinos a modern solution for secure, seamless player registration while ensuring maximum security, data protection and compliance. Playtech2, a leading technology partner of Nevis, supports this collaboration with its comprehensive iGaming solutions – guaranteeing smooth integration plus an unrivalled gaming experience.
Swiss Casinos aims to simplify the registration process for its players in the online casino while enhancing security at the same time. The partnership with Nevis enables this through the Nevis Authentication Cloud, which augments the casino infrastructure with passwordless authentication and transaction signing as a service. The FIDO-certified solution offers players a passwordless login using biometric methods on their mobile phones – making the login process more convenient and secure. This multi-factor authentication method is much more secure than conventional password-based solutions and can also be used to confirm transactions in highly sensitive areas. Thanks to proven FIDO standard technology, the Nevis Authentication Cloud offers interoperability and long-term investment protection. The solution is available both as SaaS (Software as a Service) and on-premise, which means Swiss Casinos can implement a flexible and secure authentication strategy.

Patrick Mastai, Director Online Casino, emphasises: ‘Nevis has introduced us to a modern and secure authentication solution specially devised to make signing up easier for our players – a factor that’s sure to boost customer loyalty. With its decades of experience in customer identity and access management – a service securing 80% of Swiss online banking transactions – Nevis was the clear choice. Together with Nevis and Playtech, we’re creating a trustworthy environment that not only enables a smooth gaming experience but also inspires our guests through the use of passwordless, biometric technologies. This is a key step towards providing our players with a first-class, safe and reliable experience.’
Mark Allan-Jones, SaaS Commercial Partnerships Manager at Playtech, adds: ‘Playtech continually seeks new and innovative partners to join the SAAS marketplace, providing operators with a choice of suppliers to enhance the Playtech PAM+ platform. The Nevis solution enables operators to achieve seamless login experiences and enhances the security to prevent account takeovers, whilst also simplifying the process for the player by eliminating the inconvenience of OTPs.’
