FRANKLIN, Tenn., May 8, 2012 -- The online gaming industry
has a powerful new tool for verifying player identity, thanks to a
collaboration between Player Verify (https://www.playerverify.com),
the first secure online player verification site, and online identity
verification powerhouse tru.ly (https://tru.ly).
The Player Verify Identity Checker, powered by tru.ly, enables gaming sites to
authenticate player identity instantly through PlayerVerify.com.
The gaming industry must verify players' identities, and
that means requesting sensitive information -- like drivers' licenses, Social
Security numbers and birth certificates -- from online gamers. For players, the
verification process is a hassle and a security risk. For gaming sites, it's
time-consuming and disorganized.
With the new Player Verify Identity Checker, players and the
I-gaming industry have an additional layer of security. The tool, powered by
tru.ly, matches U.S. players' submitted information to a national database of
government and public data and verifies players if their information matches.
The proprietary tru.ly technology flags users who may be trying to conduct
fraud.
"With the U.S. Department of Justice's recent reversal
of its long-established opinion on Internet gambling, Player Verify with
Identity Checker is a great fit for the I-gaming industry moving forward,"
stated Player Verify managing member Mark Dalton. "As more states and
private enterprises claim their piece of the legal online poker and state
lottery pie, secure and reliable player identity verification will become more
important than ever."
Player Verify serves as a secure conduit between gaming
sites and players. I-gamblers securely upload their sensitive documents to
PlayerVerify.com, which stores the information, and then they can send a
request to any I-gaming site to view only the documents the I-gambler selects
through a secure access code. Conversely, the site also gives players the
ability to self-exclude just once, instead of going to multiple gaming sites to
self-exclude. When given access by an I-gambler, online gaming companies can
view player documents and self-exclusions in one place, without the need to
handle and store players' sensitive information. Player Verify Identity Checker
is included for free with Player Verify memberships for I-gaming websites.
