The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma has contracted GeoComply to provide geo-verification services for the tribal operator’s upcoming Class II mobile gaming initiative.
GeoComply’s PinPoint technology will be utilized to ensure that mobile gaming activity at Choctaw tribal casinos is fully compliant with regulatory requirements, as well as to deliver a seamless and secure gaming experience for users. Pinpoint ensures that mobile gaming activities occur strictly within designated areas.
Choctaw Nation intends to roll out Class II mobile gaming from within its casinos and across tribal lands in the not-too-distant as it looks to continue to translate its land-based footprint into digital gaming.
“Class II mobile gaming will further enhance the Choctaw Nation’s position on the leading edge of innovation in the casino industry,” said Sam Basile, VP of business development at GeoComply. “We’re thrilled to support them with our advanced geolocation services. By providing secure, compliant and user-friendly technology, like PinPoint, we’re helping the Choctaw Nation deliver an omnichannel gaming experience to their customers while safeguarding the integrity of their operations.”
Choctaw Nation Executive Director of Gaming and Hospitality Chris Scrivner said that GeoComply’s PinPoint technology is “a proven on-premise geofencing solution that provides us with reliability and compliance so we can offer mobile gaming to our patrons with full confidence.”
“This initiative opens the door for us to engage our customers in new ways,” Scrivner added.
Choctaw continues to ramp up digital operations
The GeoComply deal continues the Choctaw Nation’s push to bolster its digital capabilities in 2024.
In March, it struck a deal with prominent gaming supplier White Hat Gaming to utilize the company’s player account management system across multiple states. White Hat’s PAM includes its proprietary cashier, multiple RGS integrations and its traveling wallet.
And. earlier this week, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma signed an agreement with Kambi-owned Shape Games to utilize the provider’s front-end development capabilities across its sportsbook and iCasino operations. Choctaw said the collaboration will help to develop and improve its user experiences and customer retention.
The Choctaw Nation is the third-largest Indian Nation in the U.S., with more than 225,000 tribal members and 12,000-plus associates. Its Choctaw Casinos & Resorts owns and operates a variety of gaming, hotel and resort properties throughout southeastern Oklahoma, including its flagship resort located near the Texas border.
