mDL Uses in Casinos and Gaming

Casinos and gaming organizations are highly regulated and require identity solutions that are fast, accurate, secure, and trusted for various uses throughout the property. Mobile driver’s licenses provide the ability for relying parties in gaming to be confident that an authentic credential is presented while accommodating the security and privacy needs of the mDL holder.

Age verification

Accepting mDL at casino entrances and other gaming touchpoints enables the establishment to confidently verify that patrons meet the legal age requirements for gambling.

List Checking

mDL is a trusted data source for extracting identification information to be checked against various lists such as banned, sanctioned, and gaming self-exclusion lists. Accurate data capture is required for list checking so the casino can determine risk levels for various activities and to comply with responsible gaming standards.

Patron Loyalty System Enrollment

mDL provides accurate data for populating player profiles in the casino’s loyalty system. This aids in operational efficiencies while minimizing errors and fraudulent enrollments.

Financial Transaction Compliance

Gaming venues perform many of the same operations as other financial institutions including deposit acceptance, account withdrawals, winning payouts, and extension of credit. Therefore, compliance is required for regulations such as Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering. The use of mDL for identity verification helps satisfy the identity portion of these requirements as well as mitigates the risk of identity theft, fraud, and other illicit activities.
