Geolocation Compliance Testing

General

In the ever-evolving landscape of iGaming regulations, adherence to stringent geolocation requirements is paramount for operators to ensure compliance with regional laws and regulations. At eCOGRA, we offer comprehensive Geolocation Testing Services tailored to meet the specific demands of iGaming regulators, providing operators with confidence in the accuracy of player locations on their platforms.

Scope

Our testing services assess whether iGaming operators and platform providers meet the geolocation compliance standards.

Process

Our Geolocation Testing Services incorporate assessments of the following technical specifications amongst others:

• Geofencing System: Utilising a virtual geographic perimeter defined by Global Positioning System (GPS), Radio-frequency Identification (RFID), or similar technology to reasonably detect the physical location of an individual or authorised participant.
• Frequency of System Checks: Conducting recurring periodic geolocation checks based on individual proximity to the border of the permitted boundary, ensuring dynamic monitoring throughout the authorised participant session.
• Location Data Accuracy: Utilising pinpointed and accurate location data sources, disregarding IP location data for certain connections, and employing boundary polygons based on audited maps to ensure accuracy.
• Location Data Integrity: Detecting and blocking locational data fraud, following best practice security measures, and ensuring device integrity by detecting and blocking non-secure devices.
• Reporting and Analytics: Offering a real-time data feed of geolocation checks and potential fraud risks, implementing an alert system for unauthorised access, and providing routine delivery of fraud reports.
• System Maintenance: Regularly reviewing and updating the Geofencing System to mitigate existing and emerging location fraud risks.
