IDVerse’s fully automated generative AI-trained solution accurately verifies new players with just their face and smartphone for over 16,000 ID documents and 142 languages and typesets without the burden of human intervention.
World-leading digital ID verification company IDVerse (previously known as OCR Labs Global) today announces its partnership with GeoComply, a global leader in geolocation compliance technology, to provide best-in-breed document identity verification for clients in the iGaming industry and beyond.
Onboarding players while balancing fraud and compliance risks is a challenge for companies. GeoComply offers a streamlined solution, IDComply, that combines the strengths of several top verification providers in one place and eliminates the complexities of jurisdictional coverage.
IDVerse’s Generative AI-trained technology verifies in real-time that the selfie used by new players matches the person in the photo of the ID Document. IDVerse will equip GeoComply with the ability to authenticate over 16,000 ID documents globally across 220+ countries within the IDComply offering, ensuring the integrity of the identity documents scanned through the system,
Aaron Gould, VP of Identity at GeoComply, commented: “This partnership marks a significant milestone in our journey towards providing a seamless, secure, and inclusive gaming experience for our players worldwide. It demonstrated exceptional synergy from the outset: during the testing and contracting phase, the support we received from IDVerse was unparalleled, showcasing a level of agility and receptiveness that truly set them apart. Their team’s ability to work with us closely and effectively respond to our feedback has been instrumental in achieving superior results.”
Gould continued: “IDVerse’s technology has been a game changer for GeoComply in scaling our user onboarding process while significantly reducing the risk of onboarding fraudulent players. Its advanced solution allowed for instant verification of new players across any location and device, streamlining the onboarding process without needing manual intervention. This efficiency not only enhanced player experience but also helped in retaining our loyal customers by providing quick and secure re-authentication for critical actions such as detail changes and cash-out processes. Most importantly, IDVerse aligns with our commitment to meeting the toughest regulatory standards.”
Libby Robinson, Head of Partnerships at IDVerse, added, “With our new-generation technology, GeoComply can now move even quicker to check identity in real-time, stop fraud and expand confidently across any geolocation with IDVerse’s unrivalled ID document coverage – building a safer, more secure internet. We see a future where every player will have to onboard through a solution like ours – fully automated, fully secure, unbiased and fair.
GeoComply will utilise IDVerse’s Zero Bias AI™ tested technology that pioneered the use of Generative AI to train deep neural network systems to protect against discrimination based on race, age and gender. This ensures seamless onboarding for any player in any geolocation – to make target markets and user bases larger and more diverse.”
Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, will moderate a panel at The Blockchain show on 29th June, bringing together experts from entertainment, location-based gaming, and content localisation to examine what it takes to build sustainable gaming ecosystems across emerging markets.
The panel, titled “Global Gaming Expansion: Lessons from Untapped Markets,” will structure its discussion across four themes: the growth dynamics reshaping emerging gaming markets; the role of localisation in creating experiences that genuinely connect with new audiences; the infrastructure and communities needed to build gaming ecosystems beyond the game itself; and the lessons and opportunities that will define successful expansion in the years ahead.
Alona Shevtsova plans to frame the discussion around the central challenge for companies looking to expand globally: entering a new market requires far more than bringing an existing product to a new audience. Understanding local cultures, building communities, adapting experiences, and creating ecosystems that allow gaming to grow sustainably are all as important as the product itself.
Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, said:
“The future growth of gaming will come not only from new technologies, but from understanding people — their cultures, communities, and the experiences they want to be part of. Successful expansion will belong to those who can combine global ambition with local understanding.”
The first segment will examine why regions including the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia are becoming increasingly significant for developers, operators, and investors — driven by young audiences, accelerating digital adoption, and new entertainment models creating substantial growth potential. Panellists will explore how consumer preferences differ across markets and what trends among younger audiences are shaping the future of gaming and entertainment.
The third segment will broaden the lens beyond the game itself, exploring the role of location-based entertainment, gaming centres, esports, and experiential destinations in attracting new audiences and building long-term communities. Panellists plan to address how entertainment ecosystems — spanning physical venues, events, and community infrastructure — accelerate gaming adoption in markets where the category is still establishing itself.
Earlier this month, Alona Shevtsova was shortlisted for the 2026 Great British Entrepreneur Awards in the Established Business of the Year category. Her team is also preparing for the Fintech Connect conference in London later this year. Sends will be a leading sponsor of this event.
