Advanced Compliance Technology Appoints Mark Dufty As Head Of Game Analysis

Advanced Compliance Technology (ACT), a provider of compliance and risk solutions for the regulated betting and gaming industry, has appointed Mark Dufty as head of game analysis.

Dufty brings more than 40 years of experience in racing and sports betting operations, including odds-making, risk management and regulatory compliance across the United States and international markets.

He previously served as director of trading services at IGT, race and sports director at Jerry’s Nugget, and assistant director at Hard Rock and Sands Hotel and Casino. He has also led teams in England, Australia, Curaçao and The Bahamas.

Dufty To Lead ACT Game Analysis Team

In his new role, Dufty will lead ACT’s team of analysts responsible for reviewing and analysing game, event and integrity alerts generated by its AI-powered compliance platform.

When the platform identifies a potential risk, Dufty and his team will assess the alert and refine the underlying model to account for changes in the threat landscape.

The team will also support ACT’s Fraud Rings tool, which generates a real-time ‘bubble map’ showing potentially suspicious connections across devices, accounts, locations, behaviours and transactions that may not be apparent when assessed individually.

ACT Targets Evolving Fraud Threats

Mike Venner, director at Advanced Compliance Technology, said:

“Mark’s extensive industry knowledge, operational experience and professional approach means he was perfectly suited to this newly-created role. The nature of our industry is such that more sophisticated syndicates, threats and tactics emerge constantly, and it is essential our models are constantly improving. Mark’s team will continually refine our software to deliver the most accurate and precise mapping of threats possible.”

Mark Dufty, head of game analysis at Advanced Compliance Technology, said:

“ACT is fast emerging as one of the most comprehensive compliance and integrity platforms for the sports and iGaming sectors. Real-time oversight is one of their core USPs, with my team ensuring this analysis of the threat landscape is accurate and trustworthy.”
