A5 Labs announces support from GeoComply for WPT Global
A5 Labs has selected the fraud prevention and cybersecurity solutions provider, GeoComply, to support the WPT Global online poker site.
The website launched in May 2022 and has grown to accommodate over 15,000 daily active users across 50 different countries.
Geocomply will use its portfolio of fraud prevention and detection solutions to identify any fraudulent activity from players.
John Andress, A5 Labs’ Head of Security, said: “Fraudsters and cheats have targeted online poker from the very beginning.
“As our customer WPT Global embarks on a new journey, we were determined to invest in the tools needed to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated criminals.
“Investing in GeoComply’s technology will keep us one step ahead of the cheats no matter where they are based.”
In addition, GeoComply will also offer its range of compliance-grade geolocation tools to ensure players are only from regulated markets when playing.
This will prevent access from sanctioned regions and help to protect customer data from over 85 countries.
Mark Blunden, GeoComply’s VP of Sales and Customer Experience, said: “We are delighted to support and protect A5 Labs as it rolls out its operations around the world.
“Our technology has been road tested in North America’s highly regulated markets and will provide A5 Labs with the protection it needs across the globe.”
This announcement comes just ahead of the WPT500 Mexico City Global online tournament, which has $500,000 GTD in its main event.
The technology from GeoComply will ensure that the player base remains high in integrity by blocking bots and fraudulent participants.
