GeoLocs by mkodo Strikes Geolocation Partnership with Betty for Ontario Launch
GeoLocs, the geolocation verification service by award-winning B2B front-end iGaming supplier, mkodo, is pleased to announce their new partnership with Betty. The online casino operator has chosen to integrate GeoLocs as its dedicated iGaming geolocation service within their Ontario offering. The partnership will allow Betty players across the region to play safely, securely and fraud-free on their website.
This partnership empowers Betty to deliver a seamless user experience for location verification. Players can swiftly verify their location directly within the app or website, eliminating lengthy approval processes and the need for additional app downloads. GeoLocs not only streamlines this process but also addresses unique challenges encountered by iGaming operators through fast, efficient and developer-friendly integration processes, an intuitive self-service portal including data export and activity map features, and an overall commercially competitive offering. The platform guarantees and assures operators that they are providing responsible and compliant gaming to their customers, whilst providing a positive user experience.
Having been operational and continually evolving for over a decade, GeoLocs was initially exclusive to mkodo’s clients. It was the pioneer cross-platform geolocation provider in Ontario and has since become one of the largest in region since its official launch in January 2023. Designed specifically to support iGaming operators, GeoLocs ensures compliance with licensed jurisdictions and promotes responsible gaming practices, ultimately enhancing the overall user experience for players.
“We are excited to announce that we have partnered with mkodo and GeoLocs to provide geolocation services for our platform. Our primary goal is to ensure our players have the best user experience possible while playing on Betty.ca. We chose GeoLocs as our geolocation provider because they offer a seamless user experience and eliminate players needing to verify their location in a separate application or download.
This partnership allows us to offer our players a genuinely unique and mobile-first online casino experience. Furthermore, it ensures that we remain compliant with Ontario’s regulations. We are grateful for the incredible support and expertise provided by the GeoLocs team, particularly during the launch of our first regulated market.” – Justin Park, Co-Founder & CEO
“The partnership with Betty and GeoLocs is really exciting for both parties. We’re pleased to be supporting an innovative online casino like Betty, looking for new and innovative ways to bring entertainment to the iGaming space, which aligns with mkodo and our mobile-first approach to betting and gaming. We’re excited for Betty to offer their players the best user-experience for geolocation verification as they launch in Ontario.” – Stuart Godfree, Managing Director at mkodo
