The European Championship final between Spain and England is set to be an electrifying event, capturing the attention of football fans worldwide. However, such high-profile matches often attract bonus abusers who exploit promotional offers through tactics like sure bets. This post explores how Flows provides an innovative cross-brand automation solution to detect and prevent bonus abuse during major events, ensuring a fair and enjoyable experience for all genuine players.
The problem: navigating sure bet bonus abuse
Sure bet bonus abuse involves players placing bets in one sportsbook to unlock a bonus and simultaneously placing a counter bet in another sportsbook to guarantee a profit, regardless of the outcome. This practice not only undermines the integrity of promotions but also strains resources and can lead to significant financial losses. Traditional methods of identifying such abuse can be cumbersome and often rely on manual surveillance, which is neither efficient nor foolproof.
The solution: Flows’ cross-brand automation
Flows introduces a robust and dynamic solution to tackle sure bet bonus abuse during the Eurocup final. By enabling fraud detection teams to swiftly build and deploy automated workflows, Flows minimises the need for manual intervention and enhances the ability to respond to evolving abuse tactics.
How It Works: real-time detection and alerts
During the Spain vs. England final, Flows continuously monitors betting activities across multiple brands. Here’s how the process works:
- Identify sure bet patterns: Flows scans for betting patterns where users place a bet to unlock a bonus in one sportsbook while placing a counter bet in another.
- Customisable triggers: The automation can be customiSed to flag sure bets based on various criteria such as user ID, IP address, and betting amounts, ensuring flexibility and precision in detection.
- Automated alerts: Once a potential sure bet is identified, Flows triggers an automated alert to the fraud team, providing detailed information about the user’s activity and associated IP addresses.
- Immediate action: The fraud team can then swiftly review the flagged accounts and take necessary actions to prevent further abuse, such as temporarily freezing accounts or revoking bonuses.
Key advantages of using Flows:
- Rapid deployment: Quickly set up or modify workflows to detect new patterns of bonus abuse without waiting for lengthy development cycles.
- Customisable detection: Tailor detection mechanisms to specific criteria like user ID and IP address, ensuring genuine players are not penalised.

The no-code platform empowers fraud teams with the tools to quickly implement and adapt detection workflows, reducing the risk of financial losses due to sure bet abuse. Additionally, the ability to customize detection criteria ensures that genuine players are not affected by broad, one-size-fits-all policies.
