ETHOCA is the pioneer of a global service that assists businesses in eradicating unwanted transactional activity in \’customer-not-present\’ environments.

ETHOCA connects its members to a collective pool of member-provided customer transactional data. The data is maintained in a manner that prevents any compromise of the privacy or proprietary rights of the customer or member. The information and analyses provided by ETHOCA instantly enable each member to evaluate the risk of fraud on any given transaction prior to entering into that transaction. Members can then make an informed decision on whether to carry through with a transaction, follow-up with the customer, or deny the transaction before any unwanted transactional activity can occur.

“Moving forward and entrusting our data with ETHOCA gives us an opportunity to work alongside some of the other leaders in the online gaming industry to eradicate transactional activities that are both damaging to our business and harmful to the industry,” commented Calvin Ayre, founder and CEO of Bodog. “This is another innovative step aimed at providing the best and safest platform for our customers to play and I encourage others to join us with ETHOCA.”

“We have wanted a solution like this for a while but we needed a trustworthy and respected partner to make it happen,” noted Jim Ryan, CEO of Excapsa Software. “ETHOCA was a natural fit because it understands the benefits of sharing data and has conceived and implemented the solution in a way that makes us comfortable doing so. It\’s a great opportunity to join forces with our peers.”

“We are thrilled to be working with Bodog and Excapsa. These industry leaders understand that businesses can combat unwanted transactional activity much more effectively by working together. We are proud to be at the forefront of this global effort,” said Andre Edelbrock, ETHOCA President and CEO. “Further, our members know that our respect for the integrity, security and privacy of their customer data is fundamental to our service. And they have the foresight to see the positive impact a relationship with ETHOCA will have on the financial success of their companies.”
