With the help of OneComply, we’ll be able to streamline the process to enter new North American markets, showcasing our collection of gaming solutions to a broader audience.”

OneComply CEO Cameron Conn said of the partnership, “The level of opportunity in North America for new-to-market gaming companies can be overwhelming, with all the different jurisdictional requirements and licensing processes. With gaming companies entering more than one jurisdiction at a time, this can create a lot of lag in productivity even with the most experienced compliance and legal teams. We understand the importance that FansUnite places on regulation, and we look forward to supporting them enter the North American market.”

The US Sports Betting Market Explodes with the Repeal of PASPA
The repeal of PASPA (the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) has created quite a few newly-regulated gaming markets across the US.
Gaming companies seeking to gain entry into these new markets face overwhelming regulatory hurdles to obtain their gaming licenses.
Since each state has its own unique gaming regulations, causing gaming companies to file for a license in each state independently, resulting in a very expensive process.
The service provided by OneComply simplifies that process reduces gaming license disclosure redundancies by up to 97% with its singular onboarding process. All an operator needs to do is input their information into OneComply’s secure system, and the system fills out the applications from each available state.
The process is accurate and streamlined, ultimately saving the gaming operator time and money.
