GeoComply and Locaid sign mobile location deal
Integration will allow operators simultaneous access to both suppliers' services
Locaid and GeoComply have entered into an agreement which will allow operators to simultaneously access both company’s geolocation services on mobile devices.
The deal announced yesterday will see Locaid’s multiple sources of location data, including Network Mobile, IP and Device Location, be offered in conjunction with GeoComply’s geolocation services to identify the physical location of players no matter what device the player is using.
It follows recent major client wins for both companies, with Locaid signing a deal with GTECH in January to use its geolocation services for the lottery and gaming supplier’s online and mobile platforms. Meanwhile last month saw Bally Technologies agree a deal with GeoComply to incorporate geolocation technology into its iGaming Platform.
Rip Gerber, president and CEO of Locaid said location data is the “key enabling element “for the mobile gaming industry. “Every gaming operator will be required by state regulators to authenticate the location of a mobile device when a consumer is placing a wager. The casino on your smartphone only works with Locaid location data as a confirmation source. Combined with GeoComply’s secure and easy-to-use operating tools, every operator and casino can get the best experience that satisfies regulatory requirements.”
Anna Sainsbury, CEO of GeoComply, added: “Our solutions are designed to meet the most stringent requirements whilst enabling operators to accurately locate online players across all devices. We strive to ensure we offer our clients a streamlined geolocation solution, which integrates the best location technologies on the market. As Locaid has demonstrated its ability to offer secure and reliable location data to licensed operators in Nevada, they are an obvious partner for us.”
