FaceBlock Import enables customers to bulk upload images of the faces of individuals that they wish to exclude from their services. This could be for a range of reasons including blocking previously identified fraudsters, users who break community guidelines, gambling self-exclusion lists, or extending physical bans into the online world. The facial biometric data is extracted from these images and added to a block list. Future sessions are compared against this blocklist and can be flagged or declined if there is a match.
Why is it useful?
FaceBlock Import stops access to repeated fraudsters, individuals who break community guidelines, extend physical bans to the online world, enforces gambling self-exclusion risks, and more.
How to start using it?
Import functionality is available for Fraud Intelligence package customers only.
Images upload is possible via Station/Hub within FaceBlock manager menu.
Uploaded faces are added to that customer-specific blocklist automatically.
Post this, every new incoming session will be cross-referenced against the database containing the images.
If the face of the verifier matches any face in the list for any incoming session, the session will be declined.
Customers of Faceblock Import can add up to 100 000 faces into blocklist
A risk label (Session Face Matches Client Blocklist) will be generated to allow customers to identify cases where a session was declined to face matching with the user.
Decisions
A match in the blocklist will result in the following decision:
127: Decline - Face match with blocklist (or Decline: 106 - Known Fraud {old reason code})
