About LicenseCore: Gaming License Experts Who've Been There

LicenseCore was born out of frustration. Not yours - ours.

After spending years inside gaming regulatory bodies and compliance departments, our founders Jake Patterson and Maria Cortez kept seeing the same pattern: smart operators with solid business plans getting crushed by preventable licensing mistakes. Applications rejected for missing a single form. Months wasted because nobody explained what "financial suitability" actually means in New Jersey versus Nevada.

The regulatory process isn't rocket science. But the people writing the rulebooks sure make it feel that way.

What We Actually Do

We guide gaming operators through license applications from start to finish. No hand-waving about "comprehensive solutions." Here's the work:

  • Pre-application audit - We review your business structure, financials, and key personnel before you submit anything. Catches 80% of deal-breakers early.
  • Document preparation - All the forms, disclosures, background checks, and supporting materials. Formatted exactly how each jurisdiction wants it.
  • Regulatory liaison - We handle communication with gaming boards, respond to deficiency notices, and attend hearings when needed.
  • Compliance setup - Once licensed, we help you build the internal controls and procedures regulators expect to see operating.

Our Track Record

Since 2018, we've supported over 200 gaming license applications across 15+ jurisdictions. Our approval rate sits at 94% - and the 6% that didn't make it? Those were business model issues we flagged upfront, not application failures.

We've worked with:

  • Online casino and sportsbook operators (B2C and B2B)
  • Payment processors serving the gaming industry
  • Gaming technology providers and platform developers
  • Land-based casino groups expanding into new states

Why We're Different

Most gaming consultants are either ex-lawyers who've never worked inside a gaming operation, or former operators who don't understand the regulatory side. We're compliance people who got tired of watching the same mistakes kill good businesses.

That means:

  • We know what regulators actually care about (hint: it's not your mission statement)
  • We've seen every type of application - the clean ones and the disasters
  • We don't bill by the hour for every email. Fixed-fee projects, scope defined upfront.
  • We tell you when your timeline is unrealistic instead of taking your money and disappointing you later

Let's Talk About Your License
