FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Poker Fantasy Incorporates
Cutting-Edge Security Software Into Its System
20 March 2007 -- In its continuing
commitment to secure its players’ personal
information and protect the integrity of the
games it offers, Poker Fantasy has integrated
the Internet security solution from iovation,
a world leader in online fraud protection, into
its system.
The iovation solution, which
includes both the Device Reputation Authority
(DRA) and Account Lock technologies, allows
Poker Fantasy to generate a “digital fingerprint”
for all physical devices that connect to the
site. This fingerprint remembers all accounts
created using the device and then stores this
information in a database accessible by iovation
partners.
If any of iovation’s 250-plus
network partners detect suspicious activity
from a device, the patented Account Lock technology
will take immediate counter-measures, such as
blocking access to the Poker Fantasy site and
software. In a business case study, instances
of credit card fraud plummeted more than twenty-fold
for e-commerce providers after instituting the
DRA and Account Lock technologies.
Furthermore, as an internet
gaming site, the iovation solution affords special
benefits to Poker Fantasy. With the ability
to fingerprint devices, Poker Fantasy now possesses
a powerful tool to prevent fraudsters from creating
multiple accounts, thereby reducing the possibility
of collusion exponentially.
Founded in September 2005, Poker
Fantasy is devoted to providing the safest possible
environment for players to enjoy the thrill
and excitement of online gaming. By using leading-edge
technologies such as iovation and full 256-bit
encryption for the transfer of customers’
personal information, Poker Fantasy hopes it
can help elevate the security standards for
the entire gaming industry.
