One GeoLocation Provider Is Risky—Here’s Why

 

In regulated iGaming markets, accurate geolocation is critical. Operators rely on it to stay compliant, protect players, and maintain their licences. But many still depend on a single provider to deliver this essential service—an approach that carries more risk than many realise.

Single Point of Failure

Relying on one geolocation partner means your compliance and your revenue hinge on a single technology stack. Outages, unexpected policy changes, or evolving regulatory requirements can all create sudden friction. Even short periods of downtime can mean lost wagers, unhappy players, and reputational damage.

Regulatory Complexity Is Only Growing

Newly regulated regions—from Brazil to emerging North American provinces—each bring unique technical demands and evolving standards. A mono-provider strategy can limit your ability to adapt quickly. Operators increasingly recognise that diversification isn’t just smart, it’s a safeguard.

Competitive Advantage Through Redundancy

Working with multiple providers allows operators to build true redundancy into their platform. If one service is disrupted, the other continues to verify location seamlessly, protecting both compliance and customer experience. It also fosters innovation: providers sharpen their solutions when operators have choice.

Why GeoLocs Fits a Multi-Provider Strategy

Forward-thinking operators are adding GeoLocs to their geolocation stack for three main reasons:

• Proven Global Reach: More than 14 years of geolocation expertise across North America, Europe, and most recently LatAm.

• Regulatory Confidence: ISO 27001 certified, GLI and AGCO approved, with an in-house compliance team that keeps pace with every market change.

• Player-Centric UX: Our SDK is lightweight, fast to integrate, and optimised for a seamless user experience—because protecting players shouldn’t mean frustrating them.

GeoLocs was built for operators who need flexibility and resilience, whether as a primary provider or part of a layered approach.

The Bottom Line

The iGaming landscape is only getting more complex. Dependence on a single geolocation partner may feel convenient today, but diversification is quickly becoming best practice for tomorrow.

Adding GeoLocs to your geolocation strategy isn’t just about reducing risk—it’s about gaining a competitive edge.
