Trends in geolocation compliance
These key trends are reshaping how organizations approach location enforcement:
Payment processors driving compliance
Major card networks and gateways require geolocation compliance even where it’s not legally mandated to mitigate fraud and liability.
State-by-state reporting
The majority of the 30+ U.S. states and Washington, D.C. offering legal sports betting publish quarterly gaming-activity reports—giving operators clear, timely benchmarks on handle, revenue, and compliance performance.
Privacy-driven regulation
New data-privacy laws like the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Washington’s My Health My Data Act (WHMD Act), Oregon’s H.B. 2008, and a recent Maryland law treat precise location data as “sensitive,” triggering stricter consent and handling rules.
Given the ongoing regulatory changes in the geolocation space, the cloud-based flexibility of the Locance platform enables our customers to continually adapt with minimal engineering or operational impact. This way, you never need to scramble to stay compliant as your market evolves.
Geolocation compliance testing support
Testing location controls and passing regulatory or processor audits isn’t just about the service—it’s about how it’s embedded in every game or application. While we don’t certify geolocation systems ourselves, we support you every step of the way:

What is geolocation compliance?
Geolocation compliance enables location-based rules to be assessed across your applications and services. At Locance, our compliance solutions can be used to verify that every user or transaction for your application originates from an authorized jurisdiction. We flag access from disallowed locations and our customizable rulesets can be configured to detect location spoofing attempts or other suspicious activities. At the same time, we make sure that any location data we process is handled in accordance with our rigorous data protection policies.
How quickly can we integrate Locance?
We’ve designed our browser-based JavaScript toolkits and Android and iOS SDKs for mobile apps to make your front-end integration quick and easy. When coupled with our cloud-based backend RESTful APIs, the integration process is lightning-fast. In most cases, your application can be up and running in under two weeks—some have even done it over just one weekend.
Do you store location data?
Only when requested by our customers. At Locance, location data privacy and security are paramount, and we store location data only when you tell us to. Our advanced location compliance API allows you to select whether or not location results or other metadata should be returned in our responses and stored for each transaction. Here’s how it works:
- The browser client or mobile app sends us the user’s location data in real time.
- Your backend sends an API request to our platform to get the results evaluated against your configured compliance rules. Your API request tells us whether or not to include location and other details in our response and store them.
- We return the compliance results (plus any location and metadata you optionally request) within milliseconds.
- If location data storage was requested, we securely store it and provide you with direct access to it for reporting and troubleshooting purposes via our customer portal. If location data storage was not requested, we immediately discard location and other potentially sensitive details—eliminating any privacy risks and keeping your data footprint minimal.
Does Locance handle international location compliance?
Yes. Our platform supports geolocation compliance around the world—with a flexible rules engine that allows customers to adapt to the wide range of regulatory environments and ever evolving global landscape. We continuously adapt our cloud-based platform so our rule sets and boundary maps can be updated quickly and easily, ensuring that you stay compliant anywhere you operate, without manual policy updates or heavy development on your part.
Can we customize rules per game or region?
Absolutely. We work with you to define boundary maps, precision tolerances, and fallback logic on a per-application or per-market basis. Whether you need one universal rule set or dozens of market-specific policies, every detail can be optimized and updated on-demand to support your business needs and evolving regulatory requirements.
