Anonymised customer story. The customer name and detailed implementation arrangements are withheld for confidentiality. The operating details below were supplied by Checklynx.
A Brazilian gaming operator with approximately 5,000 monthly active players uses Checklynx to check every player during onboarding. Its implementation includes an identity-verification integration provided by Checklynx and an integration with Brazil's government betting-management system, SIGAP.
The priority is evidence: the operator needs to be able to show that the relevant onboarding checks happened before a player starts playing. The workflow brings those checks and their timing into the operator's onboarding process, supporting the record it needs when explaining its controls to its regulator.
The monthly active-player figure describes the size of the business. It is not a count of new registrations, checks, API requests or regulator submissions.
Screening as part of player onboarding
For this operator, Checklynx is part of the onboarding process for every player. The implementation brings screening, integrated identity verification and a SIGAP check into that process.
These activities answer different questions. Identity verification concerns the person's identity. Screening concerns the checks performed on that person. The government check concerns whether the person is recorded as restricted in the relevant SIGAP service. Keeping the controls distinct helps the operator explain what was checked and what each result means.
The Checklynx gaming solution provides the wider screening context for operators. This story describes one customer's onboarding workflow; it does not represent every control that a gaming operator may need.
Why the SIGAP integration matters
SIGAP is Brazil's Sistema de Gestão de Apostas, a Ministry of Finance system used in the regulation, monitoring and supervision of fixed-odds betting. Within the broader system, the Módulo de Impedidos supports checks of restrictions on participation using a person's CPF (Brazil's individual taxpayer identifier).
That government result answers a particular eligibility question. It is not identity verification, a sanctions list, or evidence that every onboarding obligation has been completed. The operator remains responsible for its decisions, credentials and regulatory obligations.
For this customer, the SIGAP integration adds that government check to the onboarding workflow supported by Checklynx. Brazil's official SIGAP documentation describes the system's role in receiving betting information and enabling checks of people who are impeded from betting.
Showing that the check happened before play
The operator's emphasis is not merely on performing a check, but on producing evidence that it happened before play began. A later check does not by itself demonstrate what the operator knew at onboarding.
The useful record connects the player, the completed checks and their timing with the operator's decision about access. The Ministry of Finance's guidance on SIGAP impediment checks says betting should not be permitted before that verification is completed and calls for consultation records suitable for audit.
In this implementation, the purpose of the evidence is to help the operator explain its onboarding controls if asked by its regulator. This story does not claim that a regulator has audited or approved the implementation.
What this means for another operator
A gaming operator evaluating player-screening software should assess both the checks and the evidence needed afterwards. Relevant questions include:
- How does identity verification enter the onboarding workflow?
- Which government or regulatory checks apply to the operator and its players?
- Can the operator show that required checks were completed before access was granted?
- Which records remain with the operator for review and regulatory scrutiny?
This customer's use of Checklynx illustrates an evidence-led onboarding approach in a Brazilian gaming setting. The operator's own regulatory scope, controls and decisions remain its responsibility.
