Mkodo, a provider of compliance tooling, apps, web and front-end services, Wednesday announced that its GeoLocs geolocation compliance platform successfully passed an independent assessment conducted by Gaming Laboratories International.
The assessment evaluated the geolocation verification controls of the platform, essential for ensuring that users of online gaming and sportsbook products are physically located within allowed regions.
“The assessment of Mkodo’s GeoLocs platform was completed with no geolocation risks identified, showcasing the robustness and reliability of the platform,” said GLI Senior Vice President of Quality and Technical Compliance Christine M. Gallo in a statement.
GLI’s evaluation included an examination of the platform’s performance across different devices, operating systems, and network environments. According to Mkodo, the assessment found that GeoLocs accurately and effectively identifies user location and prevents access from prohibited regions.
The platform also successfully detected and blocked various attempts to bypass geolocation controls, including VPN usage, GPS spoofing, the use of residential proxies, and Man-in-the-Middle cyberattacks.
“This successful evaluation by GLI not only highlights our commitment to maintaining the highest standards in geolocation technology but also serves as a key milestone as we prepare to unveil exciting new innovations to the GeoLocs Platform.” said Mkodo Managing Director Stuart Godfree. “For over a decade, GeoLocs has been a mature and proven solution, trusted by the online gaming industry to ensure precise and compliant geolocation services.”
