A chat with a fraud fighter -Ina Macaria - Kindred Group

Season 1, Ep. 23
•

On the latest episode of the latest Cat & Mouse episode, we hear from Ina Macaira, Product Manager at the Kindred Group, one of the world’s largest iGaming companies. 


Ina walked us through the company’s idea of iGaming sustainability, how it’s deployed at the group, and how it can actually help with fraud rates in the long run. 


The SEON Cat and Mouse podcast is the only place where you’ll get to hear from both fraudsters and fraud fighters.


The goal? To get insights into the psychology of those who attack and exploit systems. To hear true-life examples of the thrills and frustrations of risk management. And, of course, to share entertaining, insightful, and actionable stories to improve your strategies against fraud.
