GAN is claiming that other casino companies are violating it online rewards programs patent and intellectual property by using similar systems, but did not specifically identify another casino.
The company licenses its technology to Station Casinos, Chickasaw Nation, MGM Resorts, Ocean Resort Casino and Parx Casino.
“GAN’s U.S.-patented technology principally permits US casino operators’ carded patrons to link their reward card to their online gambling account in order to identify themselves as a patron of the land-based casino and a member of their retail rewards program,” the company said in a press release. “The present technology connects a network (e.g., Internet) based gaming system and one or more casino management systems (CMS) for managing patron data, loyalty programs, and other data.”
The company said it is hiring a law firm to protect its interests, but again did not name any potential pending litigation.
“The company will now proceed to assert its rights over U.S.-patented intellectual property and seek commercial settlements for prior and continuing infringements by regulated internet gambling operators and/or relevant technology vendors, who have been substantially and progressively placed on notice of the company’s U.S. intellectual property rights,” the statement said.
