Gaming and prediction markets, everywhere they're regulated.

Gaming & sweepstakes

Real-money, sweepstakes, social and free-to-play gaming, and promotional contests: how the product is structured, which licences and registrations it triggers, and how to keep both current as states move.

  • Supplier, vendor, operator and key-person licensing
  • Sweepstakes and promotional contest structuring, rules and bonding
  • Social-casino, free-to-play and dual-currency review
  • Multi-state and tribal registration and renewals

Prediction markets

Event contracts and prediction markets: how the product is classified, where state gaming law and CFTC jurisdiction meet, and how to keep a platform compliant as both move.

  • CFTC and state gaming-law overlap analysis
  • CTA, CPO, DCM, DCO, FCM, IB and AP applications and licensing
  • Platform and exchange structuring
  • Regulator correspondence and examinations

Corporate & commercial

The company paperwork underneath a licensed operator: a holdco/opco structure that keeps the licensed entity clean, governance built around what a regulator asks an officer or director to disclose, and the platform, payments and data agreements that carry the operational risk.

  • Holdco / opco structuring to isolate the licensed entity
  • Officer, director and key-person disclosure and governance
  • Platform, payment processor and liquidity-provider agreements
  • Sports-data, odds-feed and geolocation vendor licensing
