Case Study: PokerBaazi achieves trusted, fraud-free online poker tournaments with SHIELD

How PokerBaazi Teamed Up with SHIELD to Bridge The Online And Live Poker Experience, Enhancing User Trust & Transparency

PokerBaazi, India’s largest real‑money poker platform under Baazi Games Group, faced persistent fraud threats — multi‑accounting, collusion, app cloners and tampered/jailbroken devices — that undermined tournament fairness and player trust. To bring the transparency of live poker online, PokerBaazi partnered with SHIELD and adopted SHIELD’s device intelligence (including SHIELD ID) and real‑time risk detection tools.

SHIELD implemented device fingerprinting, SHIELD Risk Indicators and a SHIELD Risk Score to detect linked devices, fake accounts and malicious tooling and to block fraudsters before they could enter tournaments. The solution delivered round‑the‑clock fraud insights, protected more than 10 million players, reduced fraudulent participation, and helped PokerBaazi restore trust and a frictionless gaming experience, reinforcing its position as a trusted online poker platform.
