Videoslots adds Freja eID to their list of ID verification partners in Nordics
Leading online casino operator Videoslots has underlined its commitment to safer gambling with the adoption of the Freja eID tool across the Nordics.
The Freja eID app goes beyond all the legal verification requirements of gambling brands in the region while also making the sign-up process much easier for new players thanks to a completely digital procedure.
As well as checking a player’s age and location, the app handles other sensitive data for the operator and gives players a complete overview of what is stored, as well as their own detailed user history.
Consent for usage of personal data at Videoslots.com as a third party is easily handled with Freja eID and the terms are clearly presented in the app, with which the user can easily give consent.
Ulle Skottling, COO at Videoslots.com, said: “We believe gambling should be safe and simple as well as fun. Freja eID will help us ensure we protect players and respect their data both on sign-up and while they enjoy our casino.
“We invest a lot of time and resources into ensuring we not only comply with regulatory requirements but surpass them and this new tool will be implemented in order to attain the highest standards.”
Johan Henrikson, CEO Verisec, added: “The agreement with Videoslots in the Nordics shows Freja eID can be the iGaming industry’s key to fast customer on-boarding, KYC, payments, increased customer interaction and global scalability.
“An e-ID is about much more than meeting regulatory requirements. It’s about the user experience and customer loyalty which is becoming increasingly important in a digitalised world.”
