GeoComply's IDComply Solution for KYC Licensed in New Jersey and Launched with Amelco and PlayUp

 

GeoComply Solutions Inc. today announced that its KYC solution for the iGaming industry, IDComply, has been fully incensed in New Jersey, and launched in the state with Amelco and PlayUp. In addition to age and identity verification via IDComply, GeoComply will be providing Amelco with geolocation compliance for the PlayUp online sports betting platform. IDComply’s license in New Jersey validates the product has met some of the most stringent requirements in the U.S. for KYC solutions.

IDComply provides operators with an all-in-one solution that handles KYC and digital identity verification while delivering the highest possible levels of player-acceptance in a compliant, fast and low-friction model.

The New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) not only requires data verification for KYC but also a secondary form of authentication, either knowledge-based authentication (KBA) or digital identity authentication, in order to validate an account. IDComply supports both of these secondary forms of authentication, providing a great user experience and ensuring that all genuine players are able to quickly and easily onboard.

“As a technology-first company we wanted to ensure our regulatory approval in New Jersey included the latest offerings from our tech partners and leveraging GeoComply’s IDComply product was central to that process, says Dr. Laila Mintas, CEO of PlayUp. “With some of the most stringent requirements and rigorous testing of any state, achieving this milestone in New Jersey has positioned PlayUp for continued success as we expand into additional U.S. states. GeoComply’s proven KYC and geolocation compliance solutions along with their experience and expertise has really made a huge impact in being able to quickly scale our business.”

As a trusted supplier to the iGaming industry, GeoComply developed IDComply in response to customer requests for an integrated solution that covers more of their compliance requirements beyond geolocation. By integrating age and identity verification along with GeoComply’s award-winning geolocation compliance, iGaming companies are able to streamline their operations and manage both their geolocation and KYC compliance from the same back-office and API.

“KYC and geolocation compliance are two cornerstones of the iGaming industry and we are very happy to have been able to help operators like PlayUp get their own products licensed,” says Lindsay Slader, Managing Director of Gaming at GeoComply. “The DGE really sets the standard for compliance in the U.S. so getting IDComply licensed in New Jersey is a real achievement for our company. We see stringent compliance controls as critical to the integrity and success of the industry.”

Statement from NYSGC Chair O’Dwyer Regarding Casino Applicants

Published

on

 

NYSGC Chair O’Dwyer has released the following statement regarding casino applicants.

“On behalf of my fellow Commissioners and the Gaming Facility Location Board, I welcome the eight applicants to Develop and Operate a Gaming Facility in New York State to the competition. The Commission and Board are committed to ensuring the casino siting process is fair, transparent, competitive, deliberative, and beneficial for the State of New York.

“This is a tabula rasa – there are no frontrunners or favorites. These eight proposed projects represent billions of dollars in private investment, thousands of jobs, and amenities in addition to a world-class casino – all things that can transform a community. That’s why each project must obtain all local entitlements, including zoning approval, and be approved by a specific Community Advisory Committee of appointees of the elected officials representing the proposed facility’s location. Only those projects that meet both statutory requirements – zoning and Community Advisory Committee approval – by September 30, 2025 will be considered by the Gaming Facility Location Board. This ensures that only those projects embraced by the community are placed before the Board for consideration.

“Appointing authorities for all eight projects have been notified of their obligation to make appointments to the Community Advisory Committees as soon as possible, as Committees are expected to be up and running in the coming weeks. Through the summer, Committees will hold public hearings to gauge support and/or opposition to their respective project, and formally vote whether to advance the project for Board evaluation. Those projects that are not approved by their Community Advisory Committee will not advance.

“The Board will evaluate those projects approved by their Community Advisory Committee and select up to three projects by December 1, followed by Commission licensure. This ensures that New York State will collect the already-booked casino license fee(s) ahead of schedule.

“As the Board has stated in the Request for Applications, the revenue from new gaming facilities is expected to benefit New York’s public schools, mass transit, local governments, and problem gambling treatment services. The jobs created by these casinos are expected to deliver livable wages to help families live, stay, and prosper in New York.

“We look forward to a competitive process with active community engagement for all proposals.”
