Here are the quotes from Dax in the main thread which explained the relationship between UP and Iovation.
Apologies. IOVation is our age/identity verification software. You're right though, that message needs to be a bit more friendly.

IOVation has zero access to our software, our database, our hands, our company, our location. We send them a "packet" of information (actually through another vendor called Verifi) that contains a player's SSN/Name/Address/DOB and they tell us yes, no, or maybe so. If we get a Maybe So - we'll need to see a scan of your ID. No means you're using a deceased ID or they found that you're actually only 13 years old.

Sorry for the delay. Things have been pretty hectic today, as you can imagine. Way more response than we expected - we're thrilled (and thrilled you're thrilled, and thrilled you're thrilled we're thrilled you're thrilled).
IOVation is licensed by Nevada to be a vendor, and if that changes, we'll change. The Gaming Commission pulls apart your life in one of those arduous and thorough processes I know of.
Again, (and I'm sure I'll be saying this a lot), we have zero connection with Ultimate Bet. We have no people, no software, no tools that they used. In fact - our software has been *deeply* rooted by the lab and by the Gaming Commission. We're proud of our software and our people.
