System and Method for Preventing Fraud Through Intelligent Matching of Players In Multiplayer Online Gaming

A system for matching players requesting to play a virtual game, the system comprising:

• one or more processing modules 201;
• one or more data storage modules 202, operatively coupled to the one or more processing modules 201, wherein the one or more data storage modules 202 are configured to store at least one of,
• a plurality of participant entity IDs,
• a plurality collusion profiles, each collusion profile corresponding to each participant entity ID from the plurality of participant entity IDs,
• a plurality of player profiles, each player profile corresponding to one participant entity ID of the plurality of participant entity IDs, and
• at least one memory module 204 operatively coupled to the one or more processing modules 201, the at least one memory module 204 stores instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing modules 201, causes the one or more processing modules 201 to,
• identify a participating entity ID for each of a plurality of matchmaking requests;
• access each collusion profile corresponding to the identified participant entity IDs, wherein each collusion profile corresponds to one of the identified participant entity IDs;
• wherein the one or more processing modules 201 is further configured to,
• process each collusion profile to identify at least one cluster of participant entity IDs;
• access a plurality of player profiles corresponding to each of a first plurality of the participant entity IDs of the at least one cluster of participant entity IDs;
• and
• process the plurality of player profiles to identify a first subset of participant entity IDs, which are proposed to participate in an instance of the game for generating a collusion score, thereby enabling matching of the players based on the collusion score to play the game, wherein
• the first subset of participant entity IDs comprises at least one participant entity ID corresponding to the at least one cluster of participant entity IDs.
