Firesand launches Firesand Shield to combat rise in iGaming account fraud attacks
Firesand, a leader in iGaming security services and software, has developed a cutting-edge Anti-Account Fraud solution to safeguard iGaming operators and platform providers from escalating credential-based cyber threats.
Firesand Shield is a best-in-class product that has been designed to address the growing complexity of account fraud that has impacted the global iGaming industry in recent times, which in some cases has resulted in loss of business, damaged reputation and regulatory fines. Common examples of account fraud include credential stuffing, dictionary attacks, and common password exploitation.
The new solution provides proactive, intelligent detection and prevention against the full spectrum of account compromise techniques, without relying on user-disruptive CAPTCHAs or blunt blocking mechanisms, to ensure the end user experience remains uninterrupted.
Unlike legacy or bot-only detection tools, Firesand Shield leans on the company’s specialism as a penetration testing service provider to focus on attack patterns, regardless of whether the source is human, bot, or hybrid, offering unmatched insight and agility in protecting operator user accounts and platform integrity. It includes in-depth attack analysis and reporting to provide greater transparency and clarity over the source of each security vulnerability.
With a product upgrade roadmap that includes geolocation anomaly detection, VPN usage analysis, and AI-powered behavioural profiling, Firesand Shield is set to offer operators and platforms significant peace of mind to stay ahead of security threats as they evolve.
Chris Blake, Director at Firesand, said: “Account fraud is a growing threat to the global iGaming industry. There have been multiple cases in the previous year alone where user data has been breached, leading to a detrimental impact for businesses targeted.
“Firesand Shield has been designed to support operators and platform providers of all sizes to sharpen their security capabilities as these attacks become more common and sophisticated. Underpinned by our superior iGaming security excellence, we are well positioned to further strengthen online systems on a global scale.”
With a proven track record of developing bespoke security platforms for a range of industries, Firesand brings unmatched credibility and expertise to the iGaming space, combining technical solutions with practical, actionable defence capabilities for high-risk digital environments.

Spinomenal launches mythology-themed Majestic Zeus
Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has launched its mythology-themed Majestic Zeus slot.
Set at the foothills of Mount Olympus, Majestic Zeus welcomes players to a Grecian world where the rewards are potentially as large as the mountains themselves. The 5×3 frame is nestled between two towering columns adorned with Grecian goddesses. A thunderous, powerful musical score evokes the might of Zeus and heightens the entertainment.
Players who find three Zeus symbols will launch the Free Spins game. Before entering Free Games, players must take a turn on the Wheel of Fortune to determine the free spins total, between 10 and 40, and the symbol will be doubled for the round.
Three blue lightning bolts will trigger the Bonus feature in Majestic Zeus. Three spins are granted to players instantly, and the mission is filling the metre by collecting Scattered winning symbols. Five Scattered symbols will complete one cell in the metre. Additional spins can be earned with the +1 symbol and once the spins end the final total is paid out calculated by the final filled metre cell.
Majestic Zeus also has Stacked Wilds available where once the reels are spinning, Wild symbols have the ability to appear on the reels to increase the chance of a win. During the base game, Only Double Symbols can come into play, making all symbols appear in their double form.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Majestic Zeus is sure to make a lot of noise amongst players thanks to its epic combination of myth, mechanics, and multiplier potential. The game looks and sounds superb — we’re expecting big results from it.”
