Get started
When MrQ went in search of a way to streamline their process for requesting and analysing financial data from players, they knew technology and a forward thinking partner were the key to success.

The challenge

Each month MrQ was losing a large number of players when they hit compliance or anti-money laundering thresholds and were required to provide financial documentation.


The operator faced a common industry problem: players were put off by lengthy manual processes and weren’t engaging with requests for data.
For the players who did complete the process, the analysis was manual, longwinded and prone to human error, leaving a big operational headache.

“It's known to be a difficult journey for players to send us financial information. There's a lot of trust that you have to build.”

- Claudia Ferrugia, Head of Operational Compliance at MrQ.

The team began to search for a solution. They decided to think smart and change their approach – partnering with ClearStake.

Inside the partnership

Why did MrQ choose ClearStake?

The MrQ team considered multiple ways to solve the problem and, after assessing multiple suppliers, concluded that ClearStake’s solution was purpose-built for the challenge, and that their technology, team and wider vision made them stand out from the crowd.

“ClearStake offers MrQ a strong route towards achieving seamless affordability and AML checks. Their feature-rich platform, player-centric design and speed of integration made them the clear supplier of choice. It’s also nice when new platforms come along and have the focus, determination and a drive to fix a particular problem.”

- Savvas Fellas, Founder and CEO at MrQ.

“The guys behind the product listen to us and they are always looking to make their product better.”

- Claudia Ferrugia, Head of Operational Compliance at MrQ.

Operationally it has really helped us a lot.
