As mGamingWatch first reported two weeks ago, New Jersey Internet gambling regulators are easing up on the established parameters used to determine whether or not an online gambler is, indeed, located within state boarders. Why? Geolocation technology is working as planned and proving an effective and reliable resource for ensuring in-state gaming only.
The team at SuperCasino, billed as “mobile gambling specialists,” is thrilled with the prospect of more relaxed rules.
“This means that the number of players who can be geolocated successfully will increase, which will also generate more revenue for the state from online gambling,” the company said in a written statement. “It’s a positive move towards more flexible restrictions on the location of players, and also allows sites to better pinpoint and track their customers.
SuperCasino, a leading online casino based in the UK, sees this development as a positive move for the industry as a whole.
“As a leading provider of various online and mobile casino games, we support any change that would bring about greater flexibility for online gambling participants,” a spokesperson for the company is quoted. “While understanding that, unlike in the UK, there are certain geolocation restrictions in place across the USA, reducing the severity of these restrictions is a positive move for the industry and will allow states to increase revenue taken from the practice. Until online gambling is legalized in more regions, this at least means that more people will be able to participate in states that have already introduced regulation.”
