GeoLocs and Casino Time Extend Partnership to Alberta for Geolocation Compliance

GeoLocs, the geolocation technology platform developed by mkodo, has extended its longstanding relationship with Casino Time into Alberta. This partnership now covers geolocation compliance for Casino Time as it grows its regulated presence beyond Ontario, positioning both companies to address Alberta's requirements while maintaining a seamless player experience.

GeoLocs Partnership Expansion in Canada

Casino Time, an operator with regulated offerings in Canada, began its collaboration with GeoLocs in Ontario in 2023. With the latest agreement, Casino Time now relies on GeoLocs for accurate location verification in Alberta, marking a key step in the operator's national growth strategy. mkodo’s geolocation technology is being deployed to address the specific compliance demands of the province. This enables Casino Time to verify users' locations reliably without sacrificing ease of use or interrupting gameplay.

Jeffrey Holmes, Chief Operating Officer of Casino Time, highlighted the foundation of the relationship, stating:

“Our relationship with GeoLocs has been built on trust, reliability and a shared focus on delivering the best possible player experience. As we continue our growth in Canada, it was important to work with a partner that understands the realities of regulated gaming and can support us as we enter new markets. GeoLocs has consistently delivered on both fronts, making them a key part of our expansion strategy.”

Geolocation Compliance in Alberta's Regulated Market

The move into Alberta signals a critical compliance milestone. Provincial regulators require robust location verification to ensure that gaming activity is only available within authorised jurisdictions. GeoLocs’s expanded agreement emphasises the need for:

• Precise player location checks to comply with Alberta's regulatory framework
• Seamless technology integration within Casino Time’s platform
• Maintaining uninterrupted player experience even as compliance obligations increase

Will Whitehead, Commercial Director at mkodo, noted the importance of reliable partnerships for regulated expansion:

“We're delighted to strengthen our partnership with Casino Time as they expand their Canadian presence. We've already developed a strong working relationship through Ontario, and we're excited to continue supporting their growth. As new opportunities emerge across Canada, operators need partners they can trust to combine compliance, performance and player experience, and that's exactly what GeoLocs is built to deliver.”

mkodo and GeoLocs: Profile and Market Presence

mkodo has operated its GeoLocs platform in the regulated gaming sector for more than 15 years. GeoLocs itself brings five years of experience in Alberta’s gaming ecosystem. This expertise supports their clients’ need to balance compliance requirements and commercial performance—a standard challenge for operators entering or expanding within new provinces.

GeoLocs positions its offering as one tailored to the Canadian regulatory context, supporting not only location verification but the evolving compliance standards as regulation progresses across provinces.

Casino Time’s Expansion Beyond Ontario

Casino Time’s movement into Alberta follows the operator’s strategic plan to build a broader regulated presence across Canada. The company’s history with GeoLocs in Ontario laid the groundwork for trust and operational familiarity, making the extension of services into Alberta straightforward and commercially logical.

As Canadian provinces continue to clarify their online gambling rules, operators like Casino Time are increasing their focus on secure, compliant technology partnerships. Effective geolocation verification is now seen as a baseline expectation by both provincial regulators and players.

Supporting Compliance and Player Experience

Casino Time’s approach underscores a dual objective: satisfying regulator standards and maintaining a frictionless front-end for users. GeoLocs’s technology aims to integrate compliance seamlessly into the player journey, a core requirement for operators competing in regulated markets.

In practical terms, the features offered include:

• Real-time location checks for each user session
• Automated monitoring for regulatory changes by jurisdiction
• Collaboration with operators to adapt to new market entry timelines and requirements

Broader Implications for Canadian Operators

The expanded partnership between Casino Time and GeoLocs reflects a wider trend in casino technology for regulated markets. Canadian operators are increasingly prioritising location technology capable of fulfilling compliance duties without degrading player retention or satisfaction. Partnerships with experienced suppliers streamline market entry and provide operators with greater flexibility as regulatory expectations shift.
