Helios builds its own technology. A proprietary discovery engine, in-house machine learning and audience intelligence find the unlicensed gambling operators and unapproved streaming sites targeting a jurisdiction, and a human expert confirms every finding before it reaches your report.
Technology
Discovery, prioritisation and evidence run on technology Helios develops itself. The engine finds and ranks; people judge.
A proprietary engine for AI-driven, multilingual discovery across the channels players actually use, in the jurisdiction's own languages.
Models developed in-house separate operators from noise, so analysts spend their time on the findings that matter.
Audience intelligence prioritises every finding, so the operations reaching the most people in your market come first.
Every capture is tamper-evident and independently verifiable. A third party can check it without taking Helios's word for it.
One platform behind both practices, built to extend to new enforcement areas. A human expert confirms every finding before it is recorded.
Services
Each practice runs its own channels, but both are scoped, validated and evidenced the same way.
Unlicensed gambling operators targeting your jurisdiction - found across four independent channels, then traced back to the operator behind them.

Capabilities
Nothing is inferred and nothing is guessed. Every finding carries the channel it came from, the evidence behind it and the analyst who confirmed it.

a human expert confirms each one
A proprietary, multilingual discovery engine runs several independent channels per engagement and cross-checks them. No finding rests on a single source.
Related sites, adverts, apps and press mentions are traced back to the operator behind them.
Licensed operators and approved platforms are verified against the official register before anything is flagged.
A human analyst reviews every finding - confirming identity and rejecting noise - before anything is recorded.
Each finding carries its source, its capture, an independent timestamp and the record of how it was found, and a third party can verify it.
Every finding is ranked by estimated reach, so the largest operations reach your reviewers first.
Workflow
A jurisdiction requests an engagement. Practice, scope, period and local coverage are defined up front.
The discovery engine runs on demand across that practice's channels, in the local language, for that jurisdiction and that period only.
In-house machine learning sorts the findings, each is cross-referenced against registers and approved lists, and a human expert confirms it.
Confirmed results are compiled into the jurisdiction's report, each with tamper-evident, independently verifiable evidence.
For regulatory teams
Every finding is built to meet the evidentiary standards of regulatory proceedings - sourced, captured, timestamped and confirmed by a named analyst.

Research
Helios contributes the site and traffic discovery behind research on illegal online gambling markets across Europe.
Euromat · Regulus Partners · Helios · 2026
For the Euromat study produced by Regulus Partners, Helios identified the sites actively marketing to players in each of 28 European markets, in local languages, and cross-referenced them with third-party traffic data. The market is estimated at around a quarter of all online gambling in those markets, roughly three times its 2019 size.
