White Hat Gaming introduces proprietary Travelling Wallet in Tennessee and Arizona
Tennessee and Arizona have become the latest US states to benefit from White Hat Gaming’s proprietary PAM including the provider’s first-to-market Travelling Wallet solution for casino.
The wallet enables players to move from state to state and between gaming verticals, retaining their balance in each without the need to transfer funds.
The solution has seen significant uptake across America, having been introduced into nine states to date with further expansion expected across the country as more states regulate online gambling.
While the process offers the player a seamless wallet functionality, background transfers in and out are recorded in state ledgers for reporting and accounting purposes.
Rob Fell, COO at White Hat Gaming, said: “It is fantastic to see players in Tennessee and Arizona benefitting due to the flexibility and ease of use of our Travelling Wallet. With interstate travel a daily fact of life for so many Americans, we identified a clear and pressing need to deliver a wallet that was not limited by state lines.
“As the US continues to regulate, state-by-state, we are proud to be offering operators and their players a solution that means customers can continue to enjoy the sports and the games they love while on the road.”

The Arizona Department of Gaming (“ADG”) has taken action against an overseas gaming company in Curaçao that is allegedly operating illegal online gaming sites, Bovada.com and Bovada.lv (Bovada), accessible to Arizona residents. Following an investigation into the matter, the ADG sent a cease-and-desist letter to Harp Media B.V., which operates Bovada, on November 8, 2024.
The operation of Bovada in Arizona is alleged to be a felony criminal enterprise and Bovada has been directed to desist from any future illegal gambling operations or activities of any type in Arizona.

- Illegal Control of an Enterprise (Felony) — Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 13-2312.
- Money Laundering (Felony) — Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 13-2317.
Harp Media B.V. has been directed to immediately cease all online (or other) gambling operations and activities in Arizona, and take the necessary steps to immediately prevent and exclude Arizona residents from gambling on their websites.
“We are actively monitoring the evolving landscape of online gaming and taking proactive steps like this helps us protect Arizona’s communities and economy from illegal activities,” said Jackie Johnson, Director of the ADG. “Our enforcement team is committed to preventing unauthorized operations from establishing a foothold here. Arizona will not be a safe haven for unlicensed or unlawful gaming, nor will we allow unlawful entities to compromise the integrity of gaming within our state.”
In light of these developments, the Arizona Department of Gaming urges residents to exercise caution with online gaming activities. Only legal, regulated operations provide important consumer protections not found in the illegal market, helping ensure a safer experience for participants.
