• Abstract: Detecting money laundering in gambling is becoming increasingly challenging for the gambling industry as consumers migrate to online channels. Whilst increasingly stringent regulations have been applied over the years to prevent money laundering in gambling, despite this, online gambling is still a channel for criminals to spend proceeds from crime. Complementing online gambling's growth more concerns are raised to its effects compared with gambling in traditional, physical formats, as it might introduce higher levels of problem gambling or fraudulent behaviour due to its nature of immediate interaction with online gambling experience. However, in most cases the main issue when organisations try to tackle those areas is the absence of high quality data. Since fraud detection related issues face the significant problem of the class imbalance, in this paper we propose a novel system based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for generating synthetic data in order to train a supervised classifier. Our framework Synthetic Data Generation GAN (SDG-GAN), manages to outperformed density based over-sampling methods and improve the classification performance of benchmarks datasets and the real world gambling fraud dataset.

  A typical fraud detection system employs standard supervised learning methods where the focus is on maximizing the fraud recall rate. We argue that such a formulation can lead to suboptimal solutions. We formulate fraud detection as a sequential decision-making problem by including the utility within the model in the form of the reward function.

  We introduce two types of camouflages based on recent empirical studies, i.e., the feature camouflage and the relation camouflage. Existing GNNs have not addressed these two camouflages, which results in their poor performance in fraud detection problems. We propose a new model named CAmouflage-REsistant GNN (CARE-GNN) to enhance the GNN aggregation process with three unique modules against camouflages.
