How a gaming and betting operator uses Digital Footprint.
A digital footprint is where a phone number or email shows up online: which kinds of apps and sites, how many, and what’s missing. Real people leave traces; a missing footprint is a red flag.
More than 20 categories, from social and messaging, shopping and delivery to banking, gaming and betting, plus the local apps people really use in each market. Monnai shows the categories and how many, not named sites.
Yes. A broad, long-used presence is a sign of a real person, and shopping and subscription apps suggest someone used to paying monthly. It helps you say yes to people with no credit file.
200+ countries on six continents, local apps included. The coverage page shows what is available where.
Where a phone number or email shows up, by kind of app: messaging, social, shopping, finance, delivery, gaming and the local apps of each market. You also get how many, and red flags such as almost nothing found, no messaging app or no local apps.
