GeoLocs by mkodo Strikes Geolocation Partnership with Betty for Ontario Launch
GeoLocs, the geolocation verification service by award-winning B2B front-end iGaming supplier, mkodo, is pleased to announce their new partnership with Betty. The online casino operator has chosen to integrate GeoLocs as its dedicated iGaming geolocation service within their Ontario offering. The partnership will allow Betty players across the region to play safely, securely and fraud-free on their website.
This partnership empowers Betty to deliver a seamless user experience for location verification. Players can swiftly verify their location directly within the app or website, eliminating lengthy approval processes and the need for additional app downloads. GeoLocs not only streamlines this process but also addresses unique challenges encountered by iGaming operators through fast, efficient and developer-friendly integration processes, an intuitive self-service portal including data export and activity map features, and an overall commercially competitive offering. The platform guarantees and assures operators that they are providing responsible and compliant gaming to their customers, whilst providing a positive user experience.
Having been operational and continually evolving for over a decade, GeoLocs was initially exclusive to mkodo’s clients. It was the pioneer cross-platform geolocation provider in Ontario and has since become one of the largest in region since its official launch in January 2023. Designed specifically to support iGaming operators, GeoLocs ensures compliance with licensed jurisdictions and promotes responsible gaming practices, ultimately enhancing the overall user experience for players.
“We are excited to announce that we have partnered with mkodo and GeoLocs to provide geolocation services for our platform. Our primary goal is to ensure our players have the best user experience possible while playing on Betty.ca. We chose GeoLocs as our geolocation provider because they offer a seamless user experience and eliminate players needing to verify their location in a separate application or download.
This partnership allows us to offer our players a genuinely unique and mobile-first online casino experience. Furthermore, it ensures that we remain compliant with Ontario’s regulations. We are grateful for the incredible support and expertise provided by the GeoLocs team, particularly during the launch of our first regulated market.” – Justin Park, Co-Founder & CEO
“The partnership with Betty and GeoLocs is really exciting for both parties. We’re pleased to be supporting an innovative online casino like Betty, looking for new and innovative ways to bring entertainment to the iGaming space, which aligns with mkodo and our mobile-first approach to betting and gaming. We’re excited for Betty to offer their players the best user-experience for geolocation verification as they launch in Ontario.” – Stuart Godfree, Managing Director at mkodo

PlayVS to Launch Hockey Gaming Initiative Pilot with the Support of the NHL/NHLPA Industry Growth Fund
PlayVS, the leading amateur esports platform, announced the launch of a new pilot program Game On: an NHL/NHLPA Scholastic Gaming Initiative, designed to inspire the next generation of hockey fans through competitive esports and skill-building activities in three key NHL Club markets–home to the New Jersey Devils, Los Angeles Kings, and Detroit Red Wings as well as in a national, virtual EA SPORTS NHL 25 tournament.
The initiative, funded by the NHL/NHLPA Industry Growth Fund (IGF), is designed to promote access, inclusion, and connection through gaming, while giving young players the chance to engage with their local NHL teams in exciting, interactive ways.
As part of the pilot, players between 13-21 years old will not only be able to participate in the competition, but will also engage in positive, structured gameplay that promotes leadership, teamwork, and critical thinking skills that are crucial both on and off the virtual rink. The program’s focus on healthy competition, social connection, and digital literacy is aimed at helping players build essential life skills while fostering a sense of community through gaming.
High schools will also take part in club-specific activations throughout the Spring season, including in-person events and student engagement experiences with the NHL franchises. The first activation took place on March 20 with the New Jersey Devils as part of the team’s Devils Gaming Group Theme Night, where 40 students and coaches were hosted at the Devils Gaming Group Lounge at Prudential Center to play EA SPORTS NHL 25 including special guest appearances by New Jersey Devils Executives, Devils Alumni and Mascot NJ Devil.
To cap off the season, PlayVS will host a virtual national EA SPORTS NHL 25 tournament from June 13-15, offering players in the US the chance to compete for top honors and connect with peers across the country. Registration for the tournament will open through PlayVS’ Stadium platform in mid-May.
“Gaming has the power to bring today’s young players together in ways that are both meaningful and lasting. Through this partnership with the NHL/NHLPA’s Industry Growth Fund, we’re not only creating new opportunities for players to engage with their favorite sport, but also helping them develop critical life skills–like leadership, communication, and resilience–through healthy competition. We’re excited to continue expanding access to competitive gaming and making esports and gaming a core part of the school experience,” said Jon Chapman, CEO of PlayVS.
