Fraud detection is one of GeoComply’s most valued characteristics. Its sophisticated geolocation technology can be used to spot anything from account takeovers in cybersecurity breaches to bonus fraud in sports betting. GeoComply has also earned plaudits for detailing betting activity when various jurisdictions go live with mobile sports wagering.

In March 2023, GeoComply recorded approximately 8. 1 million transactions during the opening weekend of online sports betting in Massachusetts, nearly doubling transaction volumes from launches in Virginia and Arizona, two similarly sized states, according to the press release. Over that weekend, GeoComply said it prevented more than 5,000 transactions from devices or accounts with a known history of fraud, saving its customers tens of thousands of dollars.
