With several gambling licences and over 260 partners, Campeón Gaming is an iGaming operator which experiences considerable financial activity daily. Plus, as part of a wider group, their finance team is responsible not only for ensuring the accuracy of Campeón Gaming’s books but other entities too. To operate at their own high standards and those which authorities such as the Maltese Gambling Authority set, they therefore required an innovative solution to the financial overwhelm they were facing. 

An overwhelming workload 

With over 10,000 transactions passing through their operations every day, Campeón Gaming previously had to employ a person dedicated entirely to reconciliation. However, even with this member of their team focusing solely on reconciliation, they were facing an unsustainable task which soon took its toll, resulting in delays to reporting and oversights.

The solution 

For the sake of financial best practice, compliance with regulations, and to instil player trust in their operations, decision-makers at Campeón Gaming therefore concluded that they needed to overhaul their reconciliation process. 

Due to their high volumes of transactions, automation stood out as the solution; however, they couldn’t choose any automation. Instead, they required intelligent automation. 

Automated reconciliation software which could adapt to changing PSP data formats, ingest a live stream of FX rates, scale without strain, and was supported by an equally intelligent team of reconciliation consultants was therefore needed. That’s why they turned to iGaming’s no.1 automated reconciliation software – Aurum.  

The results 

Deployment of Aurum for Campeón Gaming’s operations was strategically selected by the group due to it processing the most transactions across all entities. The set up therefore had to be professional and without mistake, something which Dylan Bird, Head of Professional Services at Aurum Solutions, oversaw personally. Alongside James Fenton, Solutions Build Consultant at Aurum Solutions, and Luna Akcakaya, Delivery Analyst at Aurum Solutions, they ensured that Campeón Gaming’s transition to automated reconciliation was smoothly implemented.

Tackling the group’s largest entity first proved to be the right decision because it resulted in Aurum’s automation being able to provide the greatest amount of time saving. Wiping half a month’s worth of reconciliation work off their team has freed up so much time that for now they’re able to bring their other entities’ finances up to date manually. 

Previously, with a person dedicated purely to reconciling manually, loads of time would be expended but still we would be behind. Now Aurum has pulled us back to where we need to be. With Aurum you have quality with quantity.”‍

Getting to this point isn’t simply a matter of fast-paced powerful automation. In fact, it is a coordinated effort of Aurum’s unique behind-the-scenes capabilities which have collectively simplified and refined Campeón Gaming’s reconciliation process to remove errors and allow the power of Aurum’s matching engine to take hold. 

For example, thanks to ingesting a live stream of FX rates and setting a rule for a variance of 3%, multi-currency reconciliation now takes place error-free. In addition, APIs and SFTPs are set up so that extraction, transformation and loading from certain data sources happens instantaneously. Importantly, however, all of Aurum’s wizardry for Campeón Gaming is fully customisable. When PSPs regularly alter their data formats, this is integral and greatly appreciated by the likes of Eleni and her peers. 

Aurum is a really innovative platform thanks to how you can customise and adjust scripts to evolve with your processes, PSPs, and more.”‍

Notably, the time which Campeón Gaming saves isn’t a standalone benefit. It also unlocks others such as being able to submit reports on time to adhere with the Maltese Gaming Authority’s regulations, protecting their operations and reputation. Plus, those of the entire iGaming industry are supported as well thanks to how speedy reconciliation results in fraud being discovered promptly rather than going unnoticed, something which Campeón Gaming have been able to snub out multiple times since deploying Aurum. 

Even with high volumes of transactions, thanks to Aurum we are now safer and more secure, helping us fulfil requirements for our MGA licence which is the most important item for us along with ensuring that we handle player deposits and withdrawals correctly, protecting player balances. ‍
