Last week, Ophion Risk had the pleasure of presenting at the European Casino Association Casino Security & Safety Workshop 2026, hosted at Casinò Lugano in Switzerland.

Our session – Open-Source Intelligence to the Gaming Floor: How OSINT and Risk Management Transform Casino Surveillance, Security, and Safety focused upon the demonstration of practical, free and budget-friendly OSINT tools and their Security, Surveillance, and Safety applications, including –

▪️ Identity Datapoint Exploitation

▪️ Datapoint Harvesting

▪️ Manual Document Authenticity Analysis

▪️ Facial Image Capture and Identification

▪️ Utilisation of AI Agents in Investigation and Reporting

▪️ Identification and Monitoring Email and Company Domain Exposure

▪️ Social Media Username/Handle Sourcing

▪️ Cultural and Anecdotal Indicators

▪️ Vehicle Registrations/Number Plate Analysis

▪️ Casino Guest Wi-Fi Monitoring

▪️ Counter-Surveillance Techniques

▪️ Geopolitical, Situational, and Proximity Threat Analysis

▪️ Open Traffic Camera and CCTV Analysis

Part two featured HELLBANIANZ – House Always Wins, a documentary-style short film simulation dramatizing a quiet night shift that escalates into a serious security threat. Through quick and basic OSINT techniques, a group of seemingly innocuous customers are identified as criminal Hellbanianz OCG members engaged in criminal lifestyle spending. The film highlights how close collaboration between surveillance and security teams averted a major incident.

You can download the list of easy to use, web-based, free and budget-friendly OSINT Tools demonstrated in the session and HELLBANIANZ simulation (with a few extra thrown in for good measure) below.
