OpenBet Empowers Fanatics with Protect Suite

Leading betting tech & solutions provider OpenBet has unveiled a major new deal with Fanatics Betting & Gaming. Under the new agreement, the former company will power the operator with its full Protect Suite.

OpenBet Supplies Fanatics with Neccton & Locator Solutions

According to the announcement, OpenBet will empower Fanatics with its full Protect Suite. As a result, the former company will integrate its cutting-edge geolocation and fraud prevention solution, OpenBet Locator, into the operator’s business. In addition to that, OpenBet will supply Fanatics with Neccton, its AI-powered responsible gaming and anti-money laundering platform.

These two solutions form the foundation of OpenBet’s Protect pillar, which specializes in compliance, player protection, and operational efficiency.

For context, OpenBet Locator delivers geolocation and fraud prevention with unprecedented speed and reliability. The tool has been designed for the purposes of major gaming companies, allowing them to effectively monitor their sprawling networks.

Neccton, on the other hand, leverages artificial intelligence to provide client operators with the tools to identify at-risk gamblers and intervene in time. The solution analyzes each transaction, spotting flags of possible problem gaming or fraud.

The partnership will reinforce Fanatics’ business in the US, allowing it to remain compliant with the regulations in the markets it is licensed in. The operator’s Fanatics Sportsbook division currently has access to some 95% of the US online sports betting market and has continued to experience steady growth.

According to OpenBet’s announcement, its new partnership with Fanatics is a testament to both parties’ commitment to “setting new standards for responsible gaming and regulatory compliance across the industry.”

Fanatics Will Be Able to Expand with Confidence

Representatives hailed the agreement, with Ari Borod, Fanatics Betting & Gaming’s chief business officer, saying that OpenBet Locator and Neccton will deliver “a secure and frictionless experience” for customers.

When we launched we stated that our intention would be to innovate on the tech side, and we have now delivered two critical integrations in Neccton and OpenBet Locator™ to enhance our player protection framework and our geolocation needs.

Jordan Levin, OpenBet’s chief executive officer, was similarly pleased, calling the deal with Fanatics a “pivotal milestone” for the Protect product suite and OpenBet as a whole.

This dual integration [of Neccton and OpenBet Locator] sets a new industry standard for responsible gaming, AML detection, and geolocation compliance. It demonstrates what’s possible when two technology-driven organizations align around a shared vision of trust, safety, and player experience.
