Casino and Gaming AML Platform
Multi ProductMixedAvailability: Standalone and BundledAlessa supplies modular AML software for patron risk, identity and KYC research, transaction monitoring, screening, investigations, case management, and supported regulatory-report workflows across online gaming, land-based casinos, iGaming, and sports betting.
Alessa owns the core rules, analytics, risk-scoring, workflow, case-management, and reporting software. Providers such as RZOLUT, World-Check, Thomson Reuters CLEAR, and Dow Jones can supply identity intelligence, sanctions and PEP data, adverse-media data, and EDD research.
The active contracting company is Alessa Inc., Ontario corporation number 1000397419. The imprint's number 1070025 belongs to an inactive, amalgamated predecessor.
Products
Integration: Alessa is an enterprise web application rather than a drop-in player-onboarding SDK. It supports ETL imports through native database drivers or ODBC, read-only source access after import, Microsoft SQL Server storage, and single-customer Azure, on-premises, private-cloud, or hybrid deployment. Integrated Screening can instead supply contracted sanctions, watchlist, and PEP data through API or datafile. The complete REST reference, casino-system connector matrix, implementation SLA, and write-back or interdiction design are order-specific.

Known is usable now. Contract specific changes by order or market. Not disclosed has no usable standard term. Unknown remains unresolved. Outside provider scope is handled by the operator or another supplier.
Contract and supplier
- Current Alessa contracting companyKnown
- ALESSA INC., Ontario corporation 1000397419, is active and is the software-and-services party under the MSA. The order must use this company rather than predecessor corporation 1070025.
- Subscription term and module orderContract specific
- Subscription Service Orders default to a three-year initial term unless changed. The order must list transaction monitoring, identity intelligence, screening package, cases, reports, EDD, users, environments, professional services, and third-party applications.
Implementation
- Hosting and application topologyKnown
- Deployment can use single-customer Azure, on-premises, private cloud, or hybrid topology with Microsoft SQL Server. The design must fix ownership of infrastructure, patching, backups, recovery, monitoring, network controls, and environment promotion.
- Casino data ingestion and write-backContract specific
- Alessa supports ETL imports through native database drivers or ODBC and read-only source access after import. Connector coverage, history load, frequency, reconciliation, write-back, interdiction, failed-record handling, and production timetable require an implementation schedule.
Operating responsibilities
- Customer data and external providersKnown
- The customer retains Customer Data ownership. Identity intelligence, screening, and EDD can use World-Check, CLEAR ID Confirm, Dow Jones, RZOLUT, or other applications, so provider rights and data roles need separate allocation.
- Investigation and filing authorityContract specific
- Alessa supports alerts, cases, escalation, report creation, validation, and contracted electronic-submission workflows. The operator must own alert disposition, suspicious-activity decisions, signature, authority credentials, submission, correction, deadline, and regulator communication.
Operations and service
- Security and incident evidenceNot disclosed
- A product DPA, subprocessor schedule, SOC report, ISO certificate, standard incident notice, recovery objective, and recent security-audit package are not available as a fixed procurement baseline.
- Alert and filing-quality baselineNot disclosed
- Comparable false-positive, missed-alert, case-throughput, filing-defect, latency, and high-volume results are not established. Acceptance tests must use the buyer's casino data, scenarios, thresholds, forms, and workload.
Commercial terms
- Annual subscription pricing inputsKnown
- Pricing uses an annual subscription based on selected modules, transaction volume, and users. The quote must separately identify implementation, hosting, connectors, third-party data, reports, support, overages, professional services, and renewal increases.
Market and approval scope
- Forms, datasets, and casino jurisdictionsContract specific
- Exact FinCEN, FINTRAC, Brazilian, and other forms, validation rules, submission routes, screening datasets, identity sources, and casino-system compatibility vary by deployment and must be scheduled in the order.
Exit and portability
- Database, rules, cases, and reports handoverNot disclosed
- Database extraction, rule and scenario export, case attachments, filing history, audit logs, third-party data rights, hosted-instance return, transition services, deletion timing, and deletion evidence are not established.
Strengths
- + The AML platform covers online and land-based gaming with named casino-specific transaction scenarios.
- + Transaction monitoring, screening, case management, and reporting are distinct modules rather than one generic financial-crime category.
- + Deployment and data-ingestion boundaries include read-only source-data access after ETL import.
- + External screening and identity data providers remain separate from Alessa-owned software.
What to verify in procurement
- ! Alessa's KYC workflow covers PII ingestion and external identity intelligence, not native document capture, selfie, liveness, or NFC.
- ! Screening, identity intelligence and EDD can depend on third-party data. Buyers must identify the exact provider, account requirement, permitted use, update schedule, territories and replacement rights.
- ! Reporting availability is deployment-specific. The Order must identify exact jurisdictions, forms, validation rules, and submission responsibilities.
- ! List pricing, standard implementation time, a full platform API reference, and a standard SLA are unavailable. Subscription Service Orders default to a three-year initial term unless overridden.
- ! NYRA is the only named gaming deployment and dates to 2021; current online-casino and sportsbook deployments are undisclosed.
- ! A product DPA, subprocessor schedule, SOC audit document, and ISO certificate are unavailable. Recent confidential security-audit documentation is available on request.
- ! Client count, country count, false-positive reduction, cost savings, filing speed, and deployment time do not predict results for a new deployment.
