Locaid and GambleID association to offer Geo-location services to casinos

For ensuring that casino players are located in regions where gambling is legalized, geolocation service is required. For remaining legal, numerous online gambling operators collect data from their customers and keep the same in secure locations.

Recent release declared that cooperative efforts were being made between Locaid and GambleID for verifying the location and identity of a client. With the gaming environment getting more mobile with time, technology is necessary for being compliant with the regulated jurisdiction. With GambleID, accurate and real-time identity authentication for players of different online casinos can be done.

Regarding the collaboration, Rip Gerber, who is the CEO of Locaid, said, “Mobile gambling is fast becoming a part of this industry. In US itself, online poker can allow a revenue generation of close to USD 10 billion annually, if it is allowed to be played on mobile in the country.”

Gerber also said, “The only manner possible for regulators to allow real money gambling on mobile phones is when the device’s physical location can be verified properly. When it comes to identifying the location source, Locaid is the only one, which is non-spoofable and authentic. Leading platforms like GambleID can use our services for capturing the correct data and make use of the incredible opportunity, which has been created by mobile gambling.”

J. D. Garner, president of GambleID, also made a remark on the deal saying, “With the unspoofable location services of Locaid, exact location of the player is made available. Now, with this association, casino merchants will not need to access different services for verifying their customer accounts. With geo-location verification completed and the account of the customer validated, merchants will not need to worry about the compliance aspects.”
