High 5 Casino has entered into a new strategic alliance with Xpoint, a provider of geolocation and fraud-prevention technology, in a move that signals the operator’s intensifying focus on compliance as it expands across the United States. Under the agreement, High 5 will implement Xpoint Lite across its digital platform to confirm user locations and detect fraudulent behavior, aligning with state-specific gaming requirements.
The collaboration arrives shortly after High 5 Casino had its supplier license reinstated in Connecticut following a $1.5 million settlement addressing prior licensing concerns. The reinstatement is part of a broader initiative by the company to upgrade its compliance infrastructure across multiple jurisdictions.
Real-Time Technology to Support Expansion Goals
Xpoint’s geolocation tools, designed specifically for social casinos, sweepstakes, and daily fantasy sports operators, are structured to meet complex compliance obligations even outside the scope of real-money gaming. The Xpoint Lite platform verifies user locations using multiple data signals while also identifying attempts to spoof location data—crucial for operators like High 5, which offers free-to-play experiences that must still conform to state regulations.
Xpoint CEO Manu Gambhir emphasized the customizable nature of the solution: “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.”
Prioritizing Responsible, Location-Based Access
Despite operating on a credits-based model, High 5 Casino maintains that location compliance remains central to player safety and regulatory adherence. Gino Fratto, Vice President of Product at High 5, stated: “As one of the most established gaming brands in the US, 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.”
Fratto added that the company’s partnership decision followed thorough vetting: “After extensive due diligence, we chose to partner with Xpoint because of their deep expertise, industry leadership and responsiveness.”
Compliance-Driven Innovation Across Platforms
The deal with Xpoint follows a series of enhancements by High 5 Casino aimed at improving player experience and operational integrity. These include the deployment of AI-driven personalization tools and the expansion of round-the-clock customer service capabilities.
The timing of the partnership is also strategic, as more U.S. states explore regulatory frameworks for social casino products. By reinforcing its compliance infrastructure now, High 5 is positioning itself for long-term growth in an evolving digital landscape.
Meanwhile, Xpoint continues to expand its footprint across North America. In a separate deal, the company will supply its location-verification technology to High Roller Technologies for operations in Ontario, Canada. That partnership further underscores Xpoint’s growing reputation for delivering flexible and rapid compliance solutions across a variety of online gaming models.
Meeting a Growing Demand for Regulatory Precision
Gambhir noted that the demand for dependable geolocation services is expanding well beyond traditional sports betting, especially among free-to-play operators looking to avoid past compliance missteps: “We’re excited about their future growth prospects. We’re looking forward to working with High Roller in Ontario.”
