Abstract | Ultra-low-latency Identity and Access Management (IAM) has become a critical competitive differentiatorin the gaming and betting industry, where authentication speed directly impacts user experience andplatform revenue. This article examines an architectural approach to IAM that addresses the uniquechallenges of these environments, where even slight delays can lead to abandoned transactions, disruptedplayer immersion, lost betting opportunities, decreased session length, diminished in-app purchases,damaged platform reputation, and ultimately significant revenue loss across multiple revenue streams. Thepsychological impact on users is particularly pronounced during high-stakes moments, creating friction atprecisely the times when engagement should be highest.The proposed architecture leverages edge-deployed identity proxies to bring authentication closer to users,stateless authentication with short-lived JWTs to eliminate database dependencies, streaming-basedanomaly detection for frictionless security monitoring, asynchronous KYC processes to maintain regulatorycompliance without performance penalties, and WebAuthn/FIDO2 standards for enhanced security withoutuser friction. By integrating these components, gaming platforms can achieve authentication times that feelinstantaneous to users while maintaining robust security and regulatory compliance. The article detailsimplementation considerations, performance benchmarks, and monitoring strategies necessary to maintainoptimal authentication performance at scale, providing a blueprint for gaming and betting platforms seekingto balance security requirements with the demand for seamless user experiences. |
