The Spanish mobile gambling site, Zero36 says that it is now able to secure location based information from Genasys in order to ensure compliance with Spanish regional legislation. As recently announced, Zero36 has developed a location-based filtering system with a worldwide patent that operates according to the geographical location of a user. This system enables access to mobile casino applications in accordance with the legal status of online gambling at the user's precise location.
"The partnership with Genasys will enable Zero36 to receive location data from all Spanish mobile carriers, eliminating the need to run a separate integration process with each carrier", said Zero36 CEO Sharon Tal. "Genasys will also provide Zero36 with a range of legal safeguards for dealing with personal data protection. This means that only users who will enable pinpointing their precise location will be allowed to play."
"In addition, this system will support different taxation rates accordingly to the area where the user is located. This is necessary because gambling taxation rates vary throughout Spain," added Tal.
Genasys, a leading provider of solutions for the secure delivery of location-based services, provides geospatial solutions for leading mobile operators and service providers including Telefonica Móviles, Vodafone España, Optus (Australia), Vivo (Brazil), Optimus (Portugal) and more.
Zero36 is currently the only offshore company operating a mobile casino for Spanish users, which is also promoted by Spain's Movistar's WAP portal."
