ITASCA, Ill., July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Accertify, Inc., a leading provider of fraud prevention, digital identity, and chargeback management solutions, today announced significant results from its ongoing collaboration with Wanna, a leading online betting platform. Since Wanna's US launch during March Madness 2024, Accertify's comprehensive fraud prevention solutions have helped the company reduce chargeback losses by 27%².

Wanna is now further enhancing its player protection capabilities by leveraging both Accertify's fraud solutions and PayNearMe's payment services, creating a more secure end-to-end customer journey for its US-based DFS platform, Wanna Parlay.

"At Wanna, player safety and trust are our top priorities. Utilizing Accertify's solutions allows us to provide a secure gaming environment, ensuring our players feel protected every step of the way.
