High 5 Casino has partnered with Xpoint to implement geolocation verification technology as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance compliance and security across its igaming operations in North America. The agreement will see High 5 Casino integrate Xpoint Lite, the supplier’s real-time location validation tool, into its platform to ensure players are accessing content only from authorised jurisdictions.
As one of the largest social casino operators in the U.S., High 5 Casino is expanding its digital footprint across regulated states, making geolocation technology a core component of its platform infrastructure. Xpoint Lite provides not only accurate location detection but also anti-fraud tools designed to support regulatory requirements and player protection.
The partnership follows a broader series of operational upgrades from High 5 Casino, including the rollout of AI-driven personalisation features and enhancements to its customer service framework. The move to incorporate Xpoint reflects the operator’s emphasis on regulatory alignment and its broader commitment to responsible igaming practices.
Manu Gambhir, CEO of Xpoint, said: “When High 5 approached us in October of last year, we were excited by the opportunity to help a social casino leader comply with state regulations related to geolocation by integrating our platform, which allows operators to determine player locations using a variety of signals and sensors while also identifying if location fraud is taking place.
“We built our platform so that operators like High 5 can choose exactly how and where they want to comply, giving them full control over their regulatory footprint. This integration was one of the fastest we’ve ever executed, demonstrating Xpoint’s ability to serve not only regulated operators but also leading social casino, sweepstakes, and DFS platforms.
Gino Fratto, VP of Product at High 5 Casino, added: “As one of the most established gaming brands in the U.S., we take compliance incredibly seriously. Our players trust us not only to entertain them but to protect them, and that includes only allowing gameplay from eligible locations. After extensive due diligence, we chose to partner with Xpoint because of their deep expertise, industry leadership, and responsiveness.
“At High 5, we are committed to setting the standard for safe, compliant gaming. We believe this level of geolocation rigor should be the norm, not the exception, and we hope other operators in the social casino and sweepstakes space will follow our lead.”
