Illicit IPTV

How Payments Teams Can Detect and Prevent Hidden Risk

Streaming TV has become mainstream — but for payments companies, illicit IPTV merchants represent a fast-growing and highly evasive risk category. 

These merchants don’t just violate intellectual property laws. They frequently rely on transaction laundering, misleading merchant applications, and complex web infrastructure to gain and maintain payment access. The result? Elevated exposure to card brand fines, regulatory scrutiny, and reputational damage.

In this webinar, we’ll break down how illicit IPTV operators successfully infiltrate payment ecosystems — and how onboarding, underwriting, and risk teams can detect and stop them earlier in the merchant lifecycle.

You’ll learn:

  • What distinguishes legitimate IPTV services and equipment from violative operations
  • The infrastructure and tactics illicit IPTV merchants use to obscure their activity
  • How transaction laundering commonly appears in this vertical
  • Practical risk indicators to identify high-risk IPTV websites during underwriting and monitoring

Join us to strengthen your controls, reduce exposure, and better protect your portfolio from one of the most persistent high-risk merchant categories.
