SEGA Games, which recently launched two new sites with much fanfare to
the online gambling market, announced that it has signed a deal with two groups
that will ensure a strict level of responsible gambling.
SEGA signed with 192business that will supply the video software giant
subsidiary with age and identity verification services.
"We are excited to welcome SEGA Games as one of our new customers," said
Julie Sands, Head of Sales at 192business. "By using our age checks SEGA Games
are not only demonstrating social responsibility but reducing attempted fraud.
Our extensive databases mean that SEGA Games can be confident that they know who
they are transacting with."
SEGA Games said in a statement that the group believes that responsible
gaming is the essence of developing an enjoyable gaming experience.
"Teaming with 192business provides not only us, but most importantly our
players, with the security and confidence that their gaming experience is free
of any wrong doing, under age players or unscrupulous activity," said a
spokesperson for the group.
SEGA also teamed with Quova to provide it with internet provider geolocation
data services.
The group said that it was impressed with Quova's excellent reputation in the
gaming sphere, as well as its depth of accuracy.
"By using Quova, we can ensure that geographical based content restrictions
are in place, thereby making sure that we comply with the regulatory
requirements of various jurisdictions," said SEGA.
