GeoLocs — Localization & Geoip

Pioneer iGaming geolocation provider developed by London-based mkodo with more than fourteen years of operation, ISO 27001 certification and approval by GLI and AGCO.

## The first geolocation provider dedicated to iGaming GeoLocs is the flagship product of mkodo, a British company founded in 2001 in London and led by Stuart Godfree, which became the first specialised geolocation provider for the iGaming sector. In 2019 mkodo was acquired by Pollard Banknote, giving additional institutional backing to a team that already had more than a decade of work with operators in regulated markets. The GeoLocs brand consolidated as an independent vertical and completed in 2025 a rebrand under the line The Future of GeoLocation, reaffirming its positioning as an alternative to the historically dominant providers of the segment. ## Ten billion checks a year and one hundred percent client retention The operational metrics the company publishes give a sense of the product. The platform processes more than 10 billion geolocation verifications per year, maintains a 100 percent client retention rate and operates with the trust of some of the largest global operators. Technical integration runs in less than five days via a developer-friendly SDK, which significantly reduces the time and cost for an operator to enter a new market with geographical compliance live from launch. ## Approved compliance in Brazil, North America and other regulated jurisdictions GeoLocs holds ISO 27001 certification and approval from Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). The product is operational in complex regulatory frameworks including Brazil under SPA, Canada and the United States. The platform performs technical trilateration, distance-to-boundary checks, digital fingerprinting and VPN and proxy detection, and provides a trust score the operator configures based on its risk policy. Day to day that translates into fewer rejections of legitimate players and a stronger ability to block access attempts from unauthorised jurisdictions. ## Emerging niches and strategic partnerships Beyond traditional sportsbook and casino, GeoLocs works with emerging verticals such as sweepstakes, charitable gaming and daily fantasy sports. The company opened relationships with operators including Maverick Games in Ontario and Casino Time in charitable gaming, and in August 2025 signed an alliance with Shufti to combine geolocation and identity verification under the same onboarding flow. For an operator entering the Brazilian market or expanding into North America, the combination of proven regulatory support, fast integration and partnerships with complementary KYC providers turns GeoLocs into an option less discussed than the segment incumbent but with real quality backing.
