The partnership involves merging TRM Labs’ forensic monitoring capabilities with Bitline’s casino integration model to prevent fraud and illicit activity through embedded tracing of transactions with comprehensive analytics.

The partnership announcement follows Bitline’s successful launch with Choctaw Casino and Resorts in Durant, where Bitline enabled cryptocurrency liquidity for the first time in the U.S gaming industry in March 2025.
