Device Hash

The Device hash was created to identify unique devices. It's the one and only hash you'll need with the iOS and Android SDKs. While our JS SDK will also generate a Device hash, it's supported by two other hashes for added accuracy.

Cookie Hash

The cookie hash is a unique identifier based on the cookie session. If a user shares the same cookie hash with someone else, they are most likely using the same browser and device. It is the most specific identified for web-based users.

Browser Hash

The browser hash is a unique identifier based on the complete browser profile, built on OS, network, and browser characteristics. You can use browser hashes to make connections between shared devices.

"As soon as our staff used SEON on a regular basis, they could see its value. It immediately started saving them time as they didn’t have to trawl through the usual checkpoints. So much so, that the time spent by Air France analysts on manual reviews is down by an impressive 70%. Instead, all the information they needed was on one screen with a simple scoring system enabling them to see if a transaction was real or not."

Eric Facquet

Deputy Manager of Fraud Prevention

"The most useful thing for us was to be able to see if the email and phone numbers weren’t registered anywhere. We also rely on the device fingerprinting metadata in our scorecard to filter out junk users. We immediately saved about 6% of costs on our automated KYC checks. After only 2 months, we started seeing impressive results. Up to 3 times fewer cases of defaulting customers in new regions such as Romania and Europe. 4 months later, the fraud rates dropped by over 65%."

Sergey Bogdanov

Chief Risk Officer

"We were looking at another provider, but they came back to us with a 4-6 months integration window. With SEON, it was literally a phone call, sandbox tests on Monday and by the end of the week, it was done. One other thing I’d like to comment on is the pricing model. It’s really 2022, like for scaling together. The SEON model, it’s now one we actively look for with our other partners. Clearly an organization that approaches work and its customers in a different way."

Coert Snyman

Senior Analyst

"I tested some extra rules, and over a few months I managed to push SEON’s auto approval from an initial accuracy of 95% unto 99.5%. Taking the time to update your SEON rules is an investment that gives great results. And the best thing is that we can do so without deploying any software. From an engineering perspective, it is extremely time and resource saving, allowing us to react much faster."

Phillipp Keller

Senior Product Manager

"I couldn’t believe how fast the results came,” says Gergely. “Our chargeback rates dropped by 91% in one month only.” Moreover, the number of manual queries and fraud catch rates continued to improve after the initial 30 days as the system adjusted itself – part of the benefits of deploying a machine-learning algorithm to fine-tune accuracy."

Gergely Kálmán

CEO

"SEON allows us to stay one step ahead as by keeping advantage players at bay we are able to continue offering competitive bonuses with low wagering requirements to our players,” Daniel says. “And the fact that SEON team are so open to feedback and implement the feedback quickly gives us as their client a significant advantage which we couldn’t find with other competitors in their field."

Daniel Saliba

Head of Compliance

"It wasn’t just the technology that’s great though, the education side of things helped us understand the types of tactics and patterns used by fraudsters and put rules into place to prevent them."

Stacey Pickering

Head of Operations

"We deployed SEON both on our website and web app to gather device data as well as IP and email information. It was unbelievably fast, both in terms of integration and results. In 4 days only, our fraud rates were pretty much down to 0."

Lewis Bye

Senior Projects and Operations Specialist

"We overlay SEON’s digital and social lookup with device fingerprinting to get a good indication of whether the phone or tablet belongs to the actual client. We can instantly filter out obvious fraudsters with no digital or social presence, and we get better intelligence to automate our decision making."
