In a hearing to be held today, Thursday, Feb. 18, 2016, at 10 a.m. PT, the Nevada Gaming Commission will decide whether or not to approve Iovation for a license allowing the company to operate as a geolocation supplier to regulated online gaming sites in the state.
The decision comes after Iovation was recommended by board members of the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
If the company name rings a bell, there's good reason, as Iovation has previous ties to online poker. The familiarity of Iovation to the poker industry stems from co-founder and CEO Greg Pierson's involvement with UltimateBet, where he was the online poker company's co-founder and CEO.
