SEGA Customers Only Legal
Online casino companies that are worried about the legalities of operating a
global gambling business while also restricting certain countries that have bans
on the industry now have a new solution. Quova Inc uses geolocation services to
allow online casinos and gambling companies to block certain countries fully and
with an amazing level of accuracy. The company has an excellent ability to block
certain IP addresses and the service was given the seal of approval by the newly
launching SEGA gambling site.
SEGA announced a launch into the online casino gambling industry late last year
and has been rapidly developing a new and highly branded site that will operate
within the EU and international markets, but will not accept US players.
Although there is a big hope that the US will alter its strong restrictions on
foreign online casinos, Quova allows companies to tow the line and ensure that
they are not accepting US customers and risking backlash from the US Department
of Justice.
In addition to geolocating for the online casinos for the purposes of blocking
certain players, the company is also able to really identify specific player
data from the IP addresses that is useful for gathering demographics. SEGA and
Quova are jointly jumping onto the scene in the international gambling industry
and as the SEGA site tests its metal and proves its usefulness, the Quova
technology will also become more of a standard in the industry for sites wanting
to stay within national legislation; this is incredibly useful for the US
situation right now so that a company can effectively fall in line with the
UIGEA. |
