GeoLocs Expands Collaboration with Casino Time for Launch in Alberta

GeoLocs, the geolocation platform developed by mkodo, extends its agreement with Casino Time to support the operator's entry into Alberta, Canada. Since 2023, both companies have collaborated in the Ontario market, and now the scope expands to a second province with specific regulations regarding online gaming. The rollout aims to meet Alberta's regulatory requirements while prioritizing the player experience.

Casino Time's Entry into the Regulated Market of Alberta

Casino Time begins operations in Alberta's regulated segment using GeoLocs technology to verify user locations. This verification is mandatory in the province to ensure that wagering occurs within legal boundaries.

“Our relationship with GeoLocs has been based on trust, reliability, and a shared focus on providing the best possible experience for the player. As we continue to grow in Canada, it was essential to partner with a company that understands the realities of regulated gaming and can support us in new markets. GeoLocs has always excelled in both areas, making it a key part of our expansion strategy.” — Jeffrey Holmes, Chief Operating Officer of Casino Time

Role of GeoLocs in Compliance and User Experience

GeoLocs' solution was selected to facilitate the geolocation verification required by Alberta authorities. According to mkodo, the platform has five years of experience in Alberta's gaming ecosystem and over fifteen years in international markets with strict regulations. This experience allows GeoLocs to offer an integration that adheres to local market rules without affecting user flow.

“We are pleased to strengthen our collaboration with Casino Time as they expand their presence in Canada. We have already established a good working relationship in Ontario and are excited to continue supporting their growth. The regulatory landscape in Canada demands reliable partners that combine compliance, performance, and user experience, and that is precisely the purpose of GeoLocs.” — Will Whitehead, Commercial Director of mkodo

Expansion and Strategy for Operators in Canada

As Canada moves towards a more fragmented regulatory environment, the need for real-time location verification becomes indispensable, especially in new provinces opening the market to private operators. Casino Time incorporates GeoLocs' solution in Alberta as part of a national strategy to meet legal requirements and strengthen its position against competitors.

GeoLocs frames this agreement as part of a broader plan to support operators exploring opportunities in transforming Canadian jurisdictions. The platform's prior experience in Ontario served as a reference to expedite implementation in Alberta, and the company maintains its commitment to technical support and compliance for every new launch.

Context of Regulation and Technology Providers in Canadian Gaming

The Canadian market requires platforms to operate under provincial licenses and comply with stringent technical standards. Alberta, for its part, imposes location verification to prevent access from outside the province and ensure game integrity. Technology partners like mkodo and its product GeoLocs play a key role in facilitating the rapid adaptation of operators to new regulations.

The collaboration between Casino Time and GeoLocs illustrates a growing trend: to compete in the regulated Canadian market, operators seek alliances that favor agile compliance, process security, and end-user loyalty.

Perspectives on Expansion and Compliance in Canada

The strengthening of the agreement between Casino Time and GeoLocs coincides with a growing interest among operators to expand beyond Ontario, betting on solutions that enable quick entry into new provinces without risking regulatory compliance. GeoLocs' track record in Alberta and other jurisdictions paves the way for future deployments as the Canadian legal framework evolves and relevant events shape the sector's agenda.
