OneComply Completes Seed Financing Round Led by Warner Investments and Gaming Industry Experts

OneComply is thrilled to announce it has completed its seed financing round led by Warner Investments with participation from gaming industry experts including Katie Lever, Benjie Cherniak and Quintin Singleton. Specific terms of the financing were not disclosed.
The financing will enable OneComply to solidify its position as the market and technology leader in providing purpose-built licensing automation and compliance management solutions specifically designed for the $465B global gaming and sports betting market ā including online and bricks and mortar operators, industry vendors, suppliers and service providers ā virtually any company that undergoes licensing or compliance in order to do business in the massively expanding North America gaming market.
For decades, licensing and operational compliance has been a largely manual and highly siloed process, relying on the use of spreadsheets, Word documents, emails and file sharing repositories, along with responsibilities spread amongst various departments including legal, compliance, HR, operations and finance. These disparate technologies and siloed responsibilities makes the process extremely inefficient and worse, does not permit a unified, 360Ā° degree view into the health of a gaming companyās most valuable asset: their license.
By providing a centralized data portal, automated workflows and visual dashboards that offer an accurate and real-time overview of an organizationās health, OneComply streamlines and improves the entire licensing and operational compliance process, delivering āOne Platform for 360Ā° Compliance Management.ā
āWith the growth of gaming and sports betting in the US attracting new participants as well as driving new partnerships and alliances, licensing and compliance takes on a whole new level of complexity and importance,ā says Bill Warner of Warner Investments. āManaging this critical aspect of the business requires advanced, purpose-built solutions that are able to tie together all these disparate parts and break down the silos that can put a license in jeopardy. Ā We are proud to be part of the OneComply story, to bring 21st century intelligence, automation and oversight to an area of gaming where itās critically needed.ā
āThe expansion of gaming in the US has created a highly interrelated industry, where your license can be impacted by your partnerās or vendorās non-compliance,ā says Cameron Conn, Co-Founder and CEO of OneComply. āWhether itās key persons, licensed employees, the entity itself or the critical systems and platforms a company utilizes, they all have an ongoing compliance component that needs to be effectively managed and monitored with well defined responsibilities and accountability. OneComply has created a centralized portal to tie all these pieces together, giving our customers an easy way to manage all their licensing and compliance, plus providing a complete view of the health of their most important asset ā their gaming license.ā
The past 12 months has fueled incredible growth at OneComply, with a customer base marked by some of the top gaming companies in the world including online and bricks and mortar operators, vendors, suppliers, payment processors and marketing affiliates. OneComply was also recently shortlisted for three EGR North America Awards 2022: Best Product Innovation, US Rising Star and Business Advisory Partner.
OneComply ā Ā One Platform for 360Ā° Compliance Management
OneComply centralizes and organizes all licensing and compliance data, including key person, corporate entity and occupational licensing, enabling organizations to automate the submission process and instantly know the status of applications and regulatory requests for multiple business entities, license types and jurisdictions. Our intelligent compliance and licensing management solution also allows companies to submit license applications to multiple jurisdictions in almost the same amount of time it takes to submit to one.
OneComplyās License Control capabilities gives organizations a streamlined way to track all their employees licensing and certifications, compliance workflows, and product tracking, via one secure portal. And deadlines wonāt one slip through the cracks because OneComply provides automatic email notifications, with increasing urgency, when an important compliance and licensing action needs to be taken.
OneComply allows companies to move licensing and operational compliance from a labor intensive and highly siloed administrative check-box process to an automated, integrated, actively managed, strategic asset of the company.

AGCO issues $110,000 in penalties to BetMGM Canada for offering cash to induce new gambling customers

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has served BetMGM Canada Inc. with an Order of Monetary Penalty (OMP) of $110,000 for violations ofĀ the Registrarās Standards for Internet Gaming.
In two separate incidents in 2024, BetMGM engaged marketing companies who offered cash to members of the public in return for opening new BetMGM accounts. The marketing activities occurred in public forums, such as a major national trade conference. Under AGCOās Standards, operators are responsible for the conduct of their third-party suppliers who are contracted to support the operator’s Ontario gaming business, and must require their third-parties to meet Ontario laws, regulations and standards (Standard 1.19).
Ontario is one of the first jurisdictions in the world to establish and enforce rules that strictly limit high-risk inducement advertising and marketing in the online gambling industry. Registered iGaming operators are prohibited from offering gambling inducements, bonuses and credits as part of their broad public advertising and marketing activities (Standard 2.05). These Standards exist to protect Ontarians from predatory advertising and promotional marketing practices in order to limit the risk of gambling-related harm.
A registered operator served with an OMP by the AGCOĀ has the right to appeal the Registrarās decision to theĀ Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), which is an adjudicative tribunal independent of theĀ AGCOĀ and part of Tribunals Ontario.
QUOTE
āResponsible gambling safeguards and the protection of Ontarians on registered gaming sites is among our key priorities. The AGCO monitors the activities of all registered operators and their third-party suppliers to ensure they are meeting our high standards and we continue to take strong action to ensure they operate within the public interest.ā
Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar āĀ AGCO

- 2.05 Advertising and marketing materials that communicate gambling inducements, bonuses and credits are prohibited, except on an operator’s gaming site and through direct advertising and marketing, after receiving active player consent.

BCLC Launches āWhatās played here stays hereā Campaign

BCLCās new āWhatās played here stays hereā campaign is issuing an important reminder to British Columbians who choose to gamble ā specifically that all net profit its operations generate stays in B.C. to help fund critical services like education, health care and community programs.
The campaign also reinforces that all other gambling websites operating in B.C. are illegal and take away funds from critical community programs and services.
āAcross B.C. and Canada, weāve seen incredible groundswell around the importance of buying and supporting local, and thatās no different for British Columbians who choose gambling for their entertainment. We want our B.C. players to know they can find a world-class gambling experience in their own backyard, whether itās at one of our 33 casinos, 3,400 lottery retailers, or online at PlayNow.com, and that the proceeds from their play with BCLC make a positive impact at home in their community,ā Pat Davis, President and CEO of BCLC, said.
Along with illegal online gambling websites, BCLC also competes with Washington State and Las Vegas casinos, all of which aggressively market to B.C. residents.
āBCLC continues to raise awareness that these gambling options do not support B.C.ās economy and take away funds from vital provincial and community-based programs and services. In a time when British Columbians are standing united, we want to reinforce that playing together with BCLC helps make B.C. even better,ā Pat Davis added.
