Battle card

Talking points for a live sales call.

Xpoint is a gaming-focused geolocation company (Miami, FL; founded 2019) that positions itself as the modern alternative and second-source provider to GeoComply in North American iGaming and sportsbook. It is licensed in 20+ US states and Ontario, live in Brazil and the UAE, and operates the only credible challenger-tier desktop plugin (Xpoint Verify). The sales wedge is cost reduction via the patent-pending Trust Mode (~20% fewer checks on residential/office Wi-Fi), a developer-friendly auth model (clientKey per session at runtime, no license expiry, JWT response, automatic re-geolocation), and willingness to enter as a failover alongside Radar. **As of May 2026, Splash Sports is planning to offload XPoint in June 2026** citing missing multi-state DFS support — XPoint has no Multipass equivalent and no Dynamic Boundaries equivalent.

Watch out for

  • Bet365 displacement (~2024) is a flagship reference for any Tier-1 evaluating second-source.
  • RushStreet Interactive AZ migration (Jan 2026) — first confirmed live-traffic switch from GeoComply.
  • RSI Delaware deployed across casino + sportsbook (April 2026).
  • Only challenger with a PLC-class desktop plugin (Xpoint Verify), iOS + Android + macOS + Windows.
  • Developer-friendly SDK: clientKey per session, JWT response, jurisdictionArea field returned in response (eases multi-state).
  • Patent-pending Trust Mode resonates with operators counting per-check spend.
  • Bet365 TN replay-attack: network-level attacks fully blocked (May 11) — MITM compliant.
  • International ahead of us in Brazil and the UAE (Play971 — first regulated entity in UAE).
  • Bet365 dual-stack confirmed: XPoint on web, Radar on mobile (Apr 7) — even in their flagship, geo is split.

How we win

  • GPS simulator FULLY UNDETECTED at RSI BetRivers TN (May 19, CIV-48) — hardware GPS simulator went undetected, Tennessee tester logged into MI app and played a casino game with no errors or restrictions.
  • Tailscale-driven RDP UNDETECTED at RSI BetRivers NJ (May 19, CIV-73) — fails detection in most cases. When detection triggers it's inconsistent and easily bypassed by logging out and back in. Two attack methods confirmed (one-time-approval + fully unattended). Third cross-region RDP failure on RSI (AZ + DE + NJ).
  • FaceTime RDP NOT detected at RSI Delaware (Apr 7) — MI user wagered on DE-localised iOS device across casino + sportsbook. Same gap as previously confirmed in AZ — cross-region structural failure.
  • Active session SUSPENDED at the DE-MD border before any spoofing attempt was made (Apr 7) — over-aggressive boundary enforcement.
  • Near-border performance considerably lower than GeoComply: inconsistent pass/fail points + erroneous failures even when moving away from the boundary (Apr 7). Reported ~22% pass rate at 250m vs GeoComply's 90.2%.
  • Static/mobile toggling requirement creates major UX friction near MD + DE borders, vs GeoComply's seamless PA experience (Apr 7).
  • macOS installation requests access to documents folder — known security concern (Apr 7).
  • False positive: AnyDesk installed (but not actively running) blocks betting on Xpoint Verify (Apr 7) — operationally expensive support load.
  • Mac CPU 1-minute interval spikes from 0.5% → 16% during poker gameplay (Apr 7).
  • Splash Sports is planning to offload XPoint in June 2026 (Apr 7, reconfirmed Apr 14) — XPoint has no Multipass / multi-state DFS equivalent, no Dynamic Boundaries equivalent.
  • Unsigned iOS SDK + findable SDK (raw iOS + Mac SDKs obtained, Mar 24): an attacker can patch the app to inject coordinates, placing the user inside a permitted jurisdiction BEFORE every compliance check.
  • Compliance decisions + raw coordinates returned in plaintext to the client with a public GPS injection method (May 5 monthly brief).
  • Magisk bypass publicly discussed on Reddit (Bet365 Florida user, Apr 7 + Apr 14) — two users offered help.
  • Bet365 (XPoint web) ongoing social signal: wrong-state (MD→NJ), endless install loop, app freeze + bet slip erasure, '1-star verification is trash', delete-and-reinstall every session.
  • RushStreet (XPoint) poker users report losing money on tournaments after freezes / location loss / kick-off.

Capability claims

What they say they do, grouped by category. Cross-check against the detection scorecard above — claims and tests don't always match.

Geolocation

How accurately and reliably the product determines a user's real location.

  • GPS / OS locationUses native device GPS or OS-level location services.
    ● Yesverified

    Native iOS / Android SDK; WiFi + GPS + IP + Cellular signals only.

  • Boundary / state-lineHandles users moving across regulated boundaries during an active session.
    ◐ Partialverified

    RSI DE: active session suspended simply by crossing DE-MD border before any spoofing — over-aggressive enforcement. BetRivers tribal-border failures previously observed.

  • Near-border accuracyMulti-point aggregation + buffer-zone handling near regulated borders; measured as pass rate at 250m.
    ◐ Partialverified

    Reported 22% pass rate at 250m vs GeoComply 90.2%; inconsistent pass/fail at RSI DE with erroneous failures even moving away from the boundary.

  • Multi-jurisdictionSingle integration handling operators in multiple regulated states (GeoComply Multipass / Dynamic Boundaries equivalent).
    ◐ Partialverified

  • Desktop plugin (PLC-class)Native desktop client / plugin required by PA, NJ, MS and most US iGaming regulators.
    ● Yesverified

    Xpoint Verify exists across iOS / Android / macOS / Windows — but Chrome-incompatible, manual launch every restart, ~30% CPU idle on Windows, 1-min CPU spikes to 16% on Mac during poker, macOS install requests Documents folder access.

Structural SDK exposure

Raw iOS + Mac SDKs were obtained in March 2026. The iOS SDK is unsigned and findable, and the response payload returns raw coordinates + compliance decision in plaintext. An attacker can patch the app to inject coordinates before every compliance check, making the user appear inside a permitted jurisdiction. This is a category gap, not a fixable bug — the architecture exposes the trust boundary to the client.

Talking points for displacement deals​

  1. The Splash Sports offload narrative is the new headline. A client publicly planning to leave XPoint in June 2026 over missing multi-state DFS support proves what we always say: no Multipass equivalent, no Dynamic Boundaries equivalent. Lead with this in DFS conversations.
  2. The RDP gap is now confirmed in three RSI states (AZ + DE + NJ). FaceTime in AZ + DE (Apr 7) and Tailscale in NJ (May 19, CIV-73) — structural, not operator-specific.
  3. GPS-simulator hardware sails through XPoint at RSI BetRivers TN (May 19, CIV-48). MI casino bets placed from Tennessee with no detection. Same week, OpenBet caught the same hardware at Fanatics TN with a specific error message — the gap is real and competitor-visible.
  4. The RSI DE deployment is producing complaints from week 1. Account suspension on DE-MD crossing before any spoofing. Static/mobile toggling friction. AnyDesk-installed false positives. Documents-folder access on macOS install. The "modern challenger UX" pitch is contradicted by the actual install + session experience.
  5. Trust Mode is a cost story; near-border pass rate (22% vs 90.2%) is a revenue story. Show booked-bet curves as a function of distance to the state line.
  6. Bet365 dual-stack (XPoint web + Radar mobile) is now publicly confirmed — even the flagship needed a co-provider.
  7. Magisk bypass on Bet365 XPoint Verify is publicly discussed on Reddit. Two users offered help. This is a regulated-market vulnerability being openly shared.

Open testing scope (carry-forward from weekly syncs)​

  • MITM test cases — retest some cases (some passed, some pending)
