The Coalition's Initiative:
The Quebec Online Gaming Coalition, representing major industry players such as Betway, DraftKings, and Flutter Entertainment, has enlisted GeoComply's expertise to guide regulatory changes. Nathalie Bergeron, a spokesperson for the coalition, highlights that GeoComply's data will not only safeguard consumers but also contribute valuable insights for shaping regulatory frameworks in the province.

GeoComply's Commitment:
Lindsay Slader, GeoComply's SVP Compliance, expresses enthusiasm for joining the coalition's efforts to modernize the gambling industry. Emphasizing the importance of open yet regulated markets, Slader notes the success of Ontario in this regard and affirms that collaboration with the Quebec coalition will enhance integrity, consumer protection, and overall business revenue.

Ontario's Success and Coalition Membership:
Slader acknowledges Ontario's success in online wagering, citing it as evidence that regulated markets benefit everyone involved. The Quebec Online Gaming Coalition, a pivotal organization comprising major industry names, collaborates with GeoComply to develop necessary changes to existing regulations. Current coalition members include Betway, DraftKings, Flutter Entertainment, Rush Street Interactive, Games Global, and Bet99, many of whom already partner with GeoComply.

GeoComply's Role as an Ally:
GeoComply has proven itself as a crucial ally to local operators, actively assisting in compliance efforts. An update in November revealed that GeoComply successfully thwarted 105,000 illegal attempts to place wagers on the NFL Kickoff 2023 from Quebec, a province without regulated sports gambling.
