Incognia Enters the iGaming Space with Geolocation Compliance and Account Security Solution

Published

on

 

Location identity company Incognia announced its entrance into the regulated US gaming market with the launch of its integrated geolocation compliance and account security solution. Designed for digital operators in iGaming, Sports Wagering, Daily Fantasy Sports & Real Money Skilled Based Gaming, this signal enables operators to satisfy jurisdictional compliance requirements and protects player accounts against takeover fraud (ATO).

With Incognia’s tamper-resistant geolocation compliance solution, operators benefit from both unprecedented advanced accuracy and precision. With location tampering detection features and apartment-level accuracy, the technology ensures that operators can abide by state-specific geofencing requirements, prevent wagering outside of state lines, and capture every legitimate transaction. Before bringing this solution to market, Incognia worked with Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) to complete a functional review of the accuracy and reliability of the geolocation solution when verifying player locations. The GLI Attestation concluded that Incognia, “was able to detect any attempt to alter location data, and accurately respond to the valid location data it received.”

“Incognia passed all (tests) with flying colors. I was surprised that I didn’t uncover anything that required fixing and retesting, because I always do,” said Garett Krier, Testing Engineer at GLI.

While Incognia is new to geolocation compliance for gaming, the company’s highly precise and innovative location technology is used for frictionless account security and fraud prevention by global companies across industries. Incognia’s proven technology detects suspicious login attempts automatically, blocking ATO attacks, enabling a friction-free experience for good users, and minimizing the operational burden of manual reviews.

The combination of location behavior and device intelligence enables Incognia’s persistent device identification and location-based account takeover detection, capable of identifying suspicious activities like the use of GPS spoofing apps, VPN, emulators, root access, app tampering, and other forms of location spoofing and tools used to compromise the device integrity. When it comes to fraud prevention, multi-accounting along with identity theft, bonus abuse, collusion, proxy betting, and payment fraud are examples of fraudulent behavior detected and blocked by Incognia while delivering frictionless player authentication.

“We are thrilled to bring several decades of combined experience building location technology to the growing US iGaming and Sports Wagering market. In addition to providing a more precise and resourceful geolocation compliance solution, we look forward to arming operators with a proactive fraud prevention signal that automates the use of location data and greatly reduces the need for manual fraud investigations,” said André Ferraz, CEO and Founder of Incognia.

Chicago City Council Members Pushing to Legalize Video Gambling

Published

on

 

Chicago City Council members are reviving plans to legalize video gambling in the city, introducing two ordinances that could bring hundreds of terminals to O’Hare and Midway airports and allow machines citywide for the first time.

One ordinance, introduced by Alderman Gilbert Villegas (36th), targets the city’s airports, where he sees both political feasibility and high revenue potential.

“The General Assembly has provided this opportunity through the casino bill. Yet, we’re not taking advantage of capturing dollars from one of the busiest airports in the country,” Villegas said.

“People are there, in some cases, one or two hours before. If their flight is delayed or they’re making a connection and there is a delay, there’s an opportunity to capture an audience that may not even be going to the city.”

Villegas’ proposal includes a $10,000 license fee per location, plus $500 per terminal. A separate terminal license would cost $1000, with an additional $500 per unit. If 400 machines each generated $800 daily, Villegas estimates annual revenue could reach $116.8 million, with the city taking a share through licensing and taxes.

Alderman Anthony Beale (9th) is pushing for a broader citywide expansion. His ordinance would legalize video gambling throughout Chicago, including in neighborhood bars and restaurants.

“We need to do it citywide and at the airports. We need the revenue and this administration has not shown a willingness to find new revenue that’s not gonna hit the taxpayers in every household,” Beale said.

Beale’s ordinance proposes a $500 license fee per location and a $1000-per-terminal charge for both the site and the machine itself. He has criticized the administration for dismissing the potential benefits, arguing that the current tax formula could be renegotiated with state lawmakers.

“That’s because they haven’t shown the willingness to go down to Springfield and change the formula. I’m hoping that submitting these ordinances will finally convince them to send a team down there,” he said.

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

 

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.

Let me be perfectly clear

Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.

Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.

We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.

We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.

To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.

 

Sincerely
