Pre-Licensing Requirement

Find a Licensed
Operator Sponsor

Most state gaming and prediction market licenses require your technology company to partner with a licensed operator before you can file your own vendor application. We maintain an active network of operators across 30+ jurisdictions and match vendors within 48 hours.

Why Operator Sponsorship

A licensing requirement, not an optional step

What operator sponsorship is

A licensed operator — typically a casino, sportsbook, or gaming platform — vouches for your technology by formally sponsoring your vendor license application. Most state gaming commissions won't accept a vendor application without an operator of record. This relationship establishes accountability in the eyes of the regulator.

The risk of filing without one

Filing a vendor application without a confirmed operator sponsor is the most common reason for immediate rejection in states like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, and Colorado. Rejections delay your entire market entry timeline by months and often trigger additional scrutiny on re-application.

What we provide

We maintain ongoing relationships with licensed operators across 30+ US, UK, and Ontario jurisdictions. We review your product type and target markets, then introduce you to 2–3 vetted operators with relevant portfolio fit — giving you options, not a take-it-or-leave-it assignment.
