GeoLocs, the pioneering geolocation solution tailored for the iGaming, Lottery, and Sports Betting industries, has unveiled a bold new brand identity to mark the next chapter in its journey: “The Future of GeoLocation.” 

The rebrand reflects GeoLocs’ position as the industry’s first dedicated geolocation provider and its ongoing commitment to shaping the future of compliance and player experience in regulated markets worldwide. 

A Future-Focused Identity

The refreshed brand embodies GeoLocs’ values as a trusted partner to operators: innovative, reliable, and always evolving. The new identity highlights the company’s focus on next-generation technology, deep industry expertise, and a partnership-first approach.

“GeoLocation in iGaming has often been viewed as just a compliance checkbox, but we see it as so much more,” said Will Whitehead, Commercial Director at GeoLocs. “Our new identity, ‘The Future of GeoLocation,’ reflects not only the technology we deliver today but the way we are shaping how operators engage with players tomorrow. For us, retention is just as important as acquisition — and that means putting our partners and their players first.”

Proven, Trusted, Future-Ready

GeoLocs has been trusted by leading global operators for more than 14 years, delivering accurate, secure, and seamless geolocation services that satisfy the strictest regulatory requirements. As the industry’s first geolocation provider, GeoLocs has continuously innovated to stay ahead of evolving compliance standards while ensuring the player experience remains reliable and frictionless. 

Stuart Godfree, Managing Director at GeoLocs, added: “Our rebrand isn’t just about a new look. It’s about reaffirming our commitment to being the most reliable, forward-thinking partner in the market. We’re combining proven expertise with next-gen technology to help operators thrive in newly regulated markets, from Brazil to North America, and beyond.”

Partner-First Approach

GeoLocs emphasises collaboration and long-term partnerships, working hand-in-hand with operators to adapt to local regulations, mitigate risk, and unlock new growth opportunities. This philosophy continues to underpin the company’s strategy as it expands globally. 

Looking Ahead

With its new identity, GeoLocs signals its ambition to continue leading the way in geolocation technology and compliance for iGaming. The company’s focus on innovation, trust, and partnership positions it as the go-to provider for operators entering new regulated markets and looking to optimise their player experience.

Skyesports, the premier global IP and community builder, has successfully wrapped up the first-ever edition of Gaming Thiruvizha at the Chennai Trade Centre on August 30–31, bringing together more than 17,000 fans across two unforgettable days of gaming, anime, stand-up comedy, cosplay, music, and culture.

Gaming Thiruvizha turned out to be more than an event as it became a two-day carnival. From esports showdowns at LAN zones to cosplay walks, live stand-up, and Tamil cultural showcases, the Chennai crowd transformed the Trade Centre into a festival that truly belonged to them. Fans didn’t just attend; they stayed, celebrated, and created memories together.

The audience mix was as vibrant as the festival itself: college students, families, and kids all came together, proving that gaming and anime are no longer niche hobbies, but shared cultural movements.

Powered by AMD, with ticketing exclusively on KYN, Gaming Thiruvizha was hosted in association with the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT) and supported by AGS Cinemas as the Chennai Edition Theatre Partner.

Commenting on the conclusion of the Gaming Thiruvizha, Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO, Skyesports, said, “We couldn’t have asked for a better first edition of the Gaming Mahotsav. The energy of the crowd and the diversity of the audience reminded us why we built this IP — to bridge the gap between casual gamers and esports, and to create a space where gaming, anime, and culture thrive together. Next up, we will be bringing the concept to Bangalore in late September,” said Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO of Skyesports.

The festival also welcomed dignitaries including Meghantha Reddy (Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu), Darez A. (MD, Guidance Tamil Nadu), and Gayathri Thyagarajan (Founder & CEO, Kynhood Technologies), underlining the growing recognition of gaming and esports as part of Tamil Nadu’s cultural and creative economy.

Highlights of the event include:
