Radar — Localization & Geoip

Radar — Localization & Geoip logo
Radar is the most relevant all-in-one geolocation infrastructure platform for the iGaming sector today, founded in 2016 in New York by Nick Patrick and Coby Berman, two former Foursquare employees with a decade of experience building and selling location-based products. Processing over 1 billion API calls daily, Radar has become the go-to alternative to GeoComply for iGaming operators seeking regulatory accuracy, ease of integration, and a more competitive pricing model.
For iGaming operators, Radar offers a geo-compliance solution that goes far beyond traditional IP geolocation. Its platform combines data from GPS, cell towers, Wi-Fi hotspots, and Bluetooth beacons to pinpoint the user's exact location with a precision that IP-only systems cannot achieve. This multi-signal methodology is especially critical in jurisdictions like regulated US states, where regulators demand verification that the user is physically within state lines at the time of placing a wager. Radar currently serves nearly 50 enterprise clients in the gaming sector, including sportsbook, iGaming, iLottery, DFS, and horse racing operators across multiple US states and internationally. Its performance metrics align directly with the indicators that operators monitor: approval rates, false positive rates, false negative rates, latency, and system uptime, which facilitates benchmarking against other providers. Radar's dashboard has received very positive feedback from iGaming operators, who rate it as superior to established competitors, offering real-time reporting, analytics, and alerting capabilities that allow compliance teams to monitor the geographic behavior of their users and proactively detect anomalies. This analytical capability is a key differentiator compared to solutions that only provide location verification without additional context. For iGaming platforms expanding into regulated Latin American markets, Radar offers a modern infrastructure with SDKs for iOS and Android, easy integration for development teams, configurable geofencing, and an architecture designed for global scalability. Its recent expansion in the gaming vertical, as the fastest-growing segment within its client portfolio, reflects the increasing recognition of the iGaming industry as a priority market for the company.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Radar's geofencing work for iGaming compliance?
Radar uses a combination of GPS, WiFi signals, and cell tower proximity to create extremely precise virtual perimeters. This allows operators to automatically enable or block bets depending on whether the device is exactly within the permitted jurisdiction.
Can Radar detect location spoofing on mobile devices?
Yes, Radar's SDK includes fraud checks designed to detect if a device has been rooted, if it uses fake GPS apps, or if the operating system has been tampered with. This ensures the location reported by the player is real and verifiable.
What advantage does Radar offer over IP-only geolocation?
Unlike IP analysis, which can be imprecise, Radar uses device hardware data for military-grade precision. For regulated iGaming markets, this accuracy is mandatory to comply with regulations requiring knowledge of whether the player is within meters of a state border.
How is the user experience with Radar's technology?
Radar has optimized its SDK for minimal battery consumption and instantaneous verification. This means players can be geographically verified in the background without interrupting their gaming session or affecting smartphone performance.
Is Radar scalable for large sports betting operators?
Yes, Radar's infrastructure is designed to handle millions of simultaneous location requests. This ensures that during massive sporting events, where betting volume spikes, the geolocation system responds with full reliability and speed.
