Xpoint Review
7.0/10A Miami-based, gaming-only vendor of device-native geolocation for US real-money gaming that won the patent case against GeoComply, holds a Massachusetts vendor license (SWV-0065, exp 02/28/2031) inside a 28-jurisdiction plus Ontario footprint, and runs geolocation for PrizePicks, bet365, and Sporttrade.
Our read
- Cleared legal runway: Xpoint won the patent case against GeoComply in the Federal Circuit, which invalidated the incumbent's core anti-spoofing patent, so it competes head-on with no IP overhang.
- Gaming-only focus: Xpoint works solely in the gaming industry, so there is no non-gaming vertical pulling the roadmap, and the whole product set is regulated-gaming geolocation.
- International reach and fresh capital: live in Ontario, the UAE (UAE Lottery and Play971, the first regulated online gaming entity in the region), and Brazil, with a Bettor Capital-led growth round announced in December 2025.
- The December 2025 growth round was announced with no amount, and no valuation or revenue figure is disclosed.
- Coverage stops at 28 US jurisdictions plus Ontario, so states outside that footprint need another vendor.
- No accuracy figure, uptime claim, or detection-feature list is published.
Cost-conscious US operators and DFS or prediction books that want a multi-state geolocation vendor without GeoComply's per-ping bill, and operators adding a second source to break single-vendor dependence, the way bet365 did.
Operators that need the widest register breadth, where GeoComply's 35-plus still leads, or that want billing on monthly tracked users rather than a reduced check count, where Radar fits better.
Markets & licensing
Xpoint entered the US market as the second geolocation software company ever cleared by the New Jersey DGE technical lab, under founding CEO Marvin Sanderson. Access here is won state by state, one vendor license or certification at a time, and outside the US it runs in Ontario and under the gaming regimes of the UAE and Brazil.
The United States is the core market. Xpoint climbed from roughly ten states in May 2023 to twenty plus DC in April 2024 to 28 jurisdictions plus Ontario by March 2026, and holds a Massachusetts vendor license, SWV-0065, expiring 02/28/2031. GeoComply's footprint is wider at 35-plus.
There is no UK DIATF certification and no UK-facing product. Xpoint's non-US reach runs through Ontario, the UAE, and Brazil, all regulated gaming markets. This is a US-centered gaming-compliance company with international gaming extensions.

Integrations & engineering
One contract and one API instead of a separate deal per studio, feed, or PSP. Here's what connects, how fast, and on what stack.
Xpoint integrates as a device-native geolocation layer inside an operator's real-money-gaming platform, checking a player's physical location at play and blocking spoofed or out-of-bounds sessions. The integrations are with operators (PrizePicks, bet365, Sporttrade, PlayStar) rather than with casino platforms or PSPs.
The products are enterprise-sold, so the calendar comes out of the sales cycle, compliance review, and per-state certification.
Products & tools
Device-native geolocation compliance for real-money gaming, sold as Xpoint Verify (the flagship engine bet365 switched to) with a lighter Xpoint Lite option and Trust Mode, a patent-pending feature that cuts billable location checks by more than 20% for players on trusted home or office Wi-Fi while staying inside each state's mandated check frequency.
Xpoint Verify
The core device-native geolocation-compliance product, the one bet365 switched to from GeoComply. It confirms a player is physically inside a legal state or province at the moment of play and blocks spoofed or out-of-bounds locations.
- Device-native location checks for state-mandated real-money-gaming compliance
- VPN, proxy, and GPS-spoof detection
- Runs for PrizePicks, Sporttrade, PlayStar, and in Ontario, the UAE, and Brazil
Trust Mode
A patent-pending capability announced in April 2024 that reduces geolocation service checks by more than 20% for a player connected to a trusted home or office Wi-Fi network, while still meeting each state's mandated check frequency.
- Cuts billable location checks by more than 20% on trusted Wi-Fi
- Stays inside state-mandated re-check frequencies rather than skipping compliance
- Aimed at players sitting near a state border who trigger frequent re-checks
- A check-reduction lever that leaves the per-check billing unit in place
The history
Longevity in this industry usually comes with a change of owner somewhere in it.
Marvin Sanderson co-founded Xpoint Services, LLC in 2019, unveiled it in Las Vegas in 2020, and was its first CEO. In May 2023 Manu Gambhir became CEO, a 20-plus-year US gaming operator who had been President of Enterprise Software at Games 24x7 and CEO of Thrive Gaming and had founded Kismet Studios (acquired by Cantor Fitzgerald) and Ryzing (acquired by RockYou), while Sanderson moved to lead Business Development. The company is gaming-only by design, privately held, and backed by Bettor Capital, which was among its first institutional backers and led an undisclosed growth round announced in December 2025. Xpoint won the Federal Circuit patent case that GeoComply brought against it, invalidating the incumbent's core anti-spoofing patent.

Longevity and ownership
Switching vendors is expensive, which makes the company's staying power part of the purchase. What the contract says about your data decides how expensive an exit gets.
Xpoint vs alternatives
Most buyers in this market shortlist three or four vendors long before they take a single sales call.
Pricing & terms
Xpoint quotes pricing per project. Here's how the model and the terms are structured.
A check-based model that undercuts GeoComply's per-ping pricing, with Trust Mode reducing billable checks by more than 20% on trusted Wi-Fi rather than changing the billing unit
Turnkey
Xpoint sells on a check-based model with no public rate card, and its cost lever is Trust Mode, which cuts billable checks by more than 20% for players on trusted home or office Wi-Fi while still meeting state-mandated check frequencies. CEO Manu Gambhir estimates North American operators spend roughly 200 to 250 million dollars a year on geolocation.

Support & account management
You can't demo service before you sign, so what a vendor puts in writing is the only floor you can hold it to.
