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 – including online and bricks and mortar operators, industry vendors, suppliers and service providers – 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, 360° degree view into the health of a gaming company’s 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 organization’s health, OneComply streamlines and improves the entire licensing and operational compliance process, delivering “One Platform for 360° Compliance Management.”
“With 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,” says Bill Warner of Warner Investments. “Managing 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. We are proud to be part of the OneComply story, to bring 21st century intelligence, automation and oversight to an area of gaming where it’s critically needed.”
“The expansion of gaming in the US has created a highly interrelated industry, where your license can be impacted by your partner’s or vendor’s non-compliance,” says Cameron Conn, Co-Founder and CEO of OneComply. “Whether it’s 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 – their gaming license.”
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 – One Platform for 360° 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.
OneComply’s 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 won’t 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.

Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is supporting accessibility in the iGaming industry with the launch of Red Panda Tails of Wealth – the first digital slot game designed with built-in accessible features to support players with disabilities.
In the popular digital casino landscape, people with disabilities often face barriers to participation. Instead of waiting for change, OLG is driving it by introducing the industry’s first inclusive gaming experience that provides the same fun and excitement to all players.
“We are excited to launch Red Panda Tails of Wealth on olg.ca, which is the result of a focused effort to put accessibility at the forefront of game design. The game is a proof of concept that shows how removing barriers to play can move us towards a more inclusive future in the gaming industry,” said Dave Pridmore, OLG’s Chief Gaming Officer.
With nearly one-third (28%; StatCan 2022) of Ontarians reporting a disability, the launch of Red Panda Tails of Wealth breaks barriers and provides more equitable access to play for an often-overlooked audience.
While Red Panda Tails of Wealth mirrors the appearance and gameplay of other iCasino slot games in market, it is built with universal design principles to deliver a fun, inclusive and user-friendly experience for all players.
Key accessibility features include:
• Compatibility with assistive technologies like screen readers and keyboard navigation
• A high-contrast colour palette for enhanced visibility
• An accessible heads-up display engineered to integrate seamlessly into future games.
To develop this first-of-its-kind game, OLG collaborated with Pixiu Gaming and Light & Wonder Spark. To ensure the game was accessible and inclusive OLG partnered with Fable – a Toronto-based company that connects organizations with people with disabilities for digital accessibility insights.
The insights from people with disabilities collected via remote user testing sessions played a key role in helping OLG create a game that meets real-world accessibility needs.
“Our mission at Fable is to empower people with disabilities to participate, contribute, and shape society – and this is how true accessibility is achieved. We’re thrilled to partner with OLG, who recognize the importance of embedding the voices and experiences of people with disabilities throughout the development of their new game,” said Kate Kalcevich, Head of Innovation at Fable.
High Roller Technologies, operator of the premium online casino brands High Roller and Fruta, announced the submission of its Internet Gaming Operator license application in Ontario, Canada, targeting the launch of its flagship brand HighRoller.com in the second half of 2025.
“The submission of our licensing application to access Ontario’s regulated online gambling market is an important milestone in our Company’s journey. Once our application is approved, we anticipate that we will have the opportunity to launch our online casino product into the market later this year,” said Ben Clemes, Chief Executive Officer at High Roller.
Ontario is one of the largest regulated online gambling markets in the world as measured by gross gaming revenue. In 2024, regulated online gambling operators within the province generated approximately $2.3B in gross gaming revenue, and growth continues to be recorded in the first half of 2025. Recently, the province of Alberta passed enabling legislation to establish a regulatory framework for online gambling. Once available, the Company also intends to pursue licensure in Alberta to expand its regulated market footprint in Canada.
“Ontario is missing an elegant brand like High Roller. We’re excited to roll out the red carpet for our new customers, and we’re looking forward to showcasing our tremendous product,” said Clemes.
