Vienna/St. Julian‘s
In the highly regulated environment of online sports being in Germany, verification of user identity (=ID verification) is becoming increasingly important for new customers. The aim is not only to implement the high regulatory standards, but also to offer a process in which new customers can easily, quickly and securely handle all the necessary identity verification requirements. Tipico, the German market leader in the field of online sports being, is now purchasing its identity services from the Austrian identity layer specialist SonioID. SonioID bundles in its layer self-developed and certified applications with established solutions from the market. The scope of services includes classic KYC processes such as passport identification, PSD2 or Liveness- and PEP checks. The SonioID Orchestration Layer significantly optimizes the user experience of onboarding for customers, regardless of which services the customer chooses. SonioID harmonizes all service offerings on the market for Tipico in a single IDaaS solution, while ensuring compliance with the standards required by the regulator.
Joachim Baca, CEO of Tipico Group: “With SonioID, we have significantly simplified the ID verification process for our customers. At the same time, this is an important step in our efforts to continuously improve the user experience. We are always guided by the highest standards, and we are convinced of this at our partner SonioID.”
Hasan Azeza, COO of SonioID: “We are pleased to have been able to win Tipico, the market leader in Germany as a customer. It took a lot of know-how and development work to design an optimal user experience on the surface despite complex regulatory requirements in the background. The extremely high level of interest in the market shows us that we are solving a real problem. Our strategy is geared towards internationalization and with Germany we are now taking the first step.”
