XYverify Corp., a New York-based firm that specializes in providing geolocation authentication as a service, received a conditional waiver in rendering its expertise to Atlantic City’s licensed online casino operators. The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement selected the company for its ability to provide real-time location verification solutions, including its capability to determine the current location of customers transacting by way of a mobile device.

The reliability and sound integration of geolocation verification is vital to New Jersey’s regulatory condition of confining accessibility of all Internet gambling offerings within the Garden State’s territorial jurisdiction. XYverify’s claim of providing the best results in determining and confirming player location will be put to a final test once regulators go forward with the 5-day trial run of the state’s online gambling initiatives on November 21.

XYverify partners with LocationSmart® in providing location information intelligence, using Cell Tower Triangulation and Assisted-GPS (A-GPS). The technology determines location of mobile phone users as the devices take readings from GPS satellites and cellular base stations or towers even in dense urban sectors, inside buildings or in moving vehicles. The communication network maintains a location server that assists in specifying the satellites and in gathering privacy-protected player location data that online casinos’ need, when verifying and allowing or denying access to online players in accordance with regulatory requirements.

XYverify holds a Nevada Class II license, a Nevada Gaming Control Board category for interactive gaming service providers with restricted gaming license, because the license applicants undergo less intrusive regulatory investigation processes.
