Licensing & Compliance

In the regulated U.S. gaming market, licensing is a mission-critical, complicated, and burdensome responsibility that applies not only to gaming companies but their management, employees, business partners, and investors.

ZG Gaming Solutions is built from the ground up to manage the unique complexities of gaming licensing. Our mission is to make the state-by-state licensing process as easy as possible for everyone involved. We have deep familiarity with licensing processes related to sports betting, i-gaming, and fantasy sports, and we stay on top of new developments as these markets continue to expand across the U.S.

Our Experience

ZG Gaming Solutions is an affiliate of ZwillGen PLLC, a boutique law firm widely recognized for its practical and creative approach to cutting-edge internet and technology law issues. ZG Gaming Solutions is not a law firm, but a specialized service provider dedicated to managing the licensing application process at scale. We work with regulated gaming operators and their employees, as well as the suppliers, vendors, and investors doing business with them who need to be licensed.

Our Approach

Over the years, our founding team developed significant experience managing complex, burdensome, and often time-sensitive licensing processes across numerous states. We learned that the hardest part is building and executing an effective, scalable process for managing the many people, requirements, and deadlines involved in a successful licensing effort. We focus on leveraging technology, skilled analysts, and close client integration to make the process faster, more predictable, and less stressful.

Our Services

  • Our team’s technological, logistical, and personnel resources can help operators manage the unwieldy licensing application and investigation process more efficiently and reliably. We routinely work in close coordination with internal compliance teams, as well as with in-house and outside counsel (ZwillGen as well as other firms) who can provide legal input where needed.

  • We can work with these individuals directly to handle their licensing forms and support them throughout the full investigation process in each state where they need to file. We dramatically reduce the burden on key persons—they can focus on just providing information, and we handle all of the complexity, paperwork, and logistics. We also provide key persons with peace of mind that their information is not visible to internal company personnel by working directly with them and utilizing secure information management tools.

  • Regulators can require occupational licensing for a significant number of gaming employees, creating an overwhelming management burden on internal company staff. We can support and significantly ease those challenges, bringing to bear our management systems and trained licensing staff, as well as leveraging technology solutions wherever they add value.

  • Companies that provide services to or hold investments in regulated gaming companies are sometimes surprised to learn they may need to get licensed too. Our team can guide vendors and investors unfamiliar with licensing requirements through the process, relieve overworked internal staff, and help accelerate the path to licensure.  For questions and issues needing legal escalation, we can seamlessly work with in-house and outside counsel (ZwillGen and other firms).

We encourage you to speak with us about your specific needs and pain points so we can help figure out how ZG Gaming might provide – or if needed, build – a tailored solution that addresses them.
