“In terms of personalization, facial recognition helps you to take a picture of yourself and use it to portray yourself in online games and allow character creation based on gamer inputs.” – Roland Landers, All India Game Federation

As facial recognition, identity verification and artificial intelligence become part of everyday consumerism, it will be interesting to see how this once sci-fi technology can change major markets around the world. Here’s how facial recognition has impacted the gaming industry.

In recent years, facial recognition technology has become a natural ally of brick-built casinos; improvements in surveillance and closed-circuit television systems, facial recognition technology, and other innovative features have enabled casino employees to detect problems faster and smarter than ever before. Jumping to today, as customer expectations become more and more complex, so must the technology used.

Facial recognition technology has a historically strong return on investment in the gaming industry. Facial recognition technology has several benefits in the gaming industry. Here are some major examples:

• Although most online casinos allow you to play games as soon as your first deposit is cleared, most online casinos limit the amount you can spend until you provide them with the required documents. These documents are used to confirm the player’s name, age, and address. These documents are necessary because online casinos must comply with laws such as the KYC (Know Your Customer) law. Facial recognition technology can be used to help speed up this process. Customers can take ID photos and selfies, and then upload them to the app. This makes the registration process faster.

• On-going identity verification- In the past, online casinos had to assume that the player was genuine when they said that their account was stolen or hacked. Facial recognition technology allows online casinos to access the player’s front camera. They can use it to see who logged into the account when it was compromised. It can also help them detect unusual activity on the account. They can basically use it to verify that the person playing the game and the person logging in to the account is the same person.

• Customer Experience and VIP- Luxury and high-end casinos are known for working harder for their special guests. Identity-enabled technology enables casinos to personalize and manage the user experience. When the player moves in various places, automatic access control can be enabled for certain lounges and lounges, thereby reducing the pressure on employees. Online casinos can add more exclusivity through multi-factor account verification.

There are many benefits to using facial recognition software in online gaming. It has had a huge impact on the gaming world, especially with security improvements. We hope that the software will continue to evolve in the coming years to make online gaming more engaging than ever!
