Case Study: OPTX Leverages OneComply to Improve Gaming License Application Processes
Tom Rafferty, co-CEO, OPTX
About OPTX:
OPTX is a leading casino intelligence company focused on delivering innovative solutions to the gaming and hospitality industry. Leveraging advanced technology, analytics, artificial intelligence and data visualizations, OPTX aims to transform the way casinos and other gaming establishments make data-driven decisions to optimize their operations, drive revenue, and enhance the guest experience.
The OPTX platform collects and analyzes data from various sources such as gaming machines, player activity, and property-wide systems, providing real-time insights, recommendations and actionable intelligence for casino operators. The intuitive and user- friendly interface allows for easy access to critical data points, helping operators quickly identify trends, make informed decisions, and improve overall performance.
What problems or issues in gaming licensing was OPTX dealing with and wanted to address?
As the co-CEO of OPTX, I have identified four key licensing challenges that impact our ability to expand and deliver our innovative solutions to casinos and other gaming establishments:
1. Licensing Timeliness and Visibility: To be a viable vendor for casinos, our company needs to obtain licenses quickly. However, the licensing process is often dependent on imminent deals or offers limited visibility into upcoming opportunities in new jurisdictions. This makes it challenging for us to prepare and plan accordingly for our growth strategy.
2. Licensing Speed and Implementation: Rapid licensing is essential for the timely implementation of our products and services, which in turn accelerates our revenue generation. Unfortunately, without efficient tools like OneComply, the licensing process can take months to complete, delaying our product implementation and subsequent revenue collection.
3. Repetitive Manual Data Entry: Our team spends a significant amount of time manually inputting the same information repeatedly for various gaming regulatory agencies. This not only decreases the efficiency of our licensing process but also diverts our employees’ valuable time and resources from more productive tasks.
4. Restrictive Application Processes: The applications provided by gaming regulatory agencies often impose restrictions on the types of information that can be uploaded or attached. As a result, our team has to invest substantial effort in manually formatting and creating separate attachments to meet these requirements, which further delays the licensing process.
In conclusion, OPTX faces numerous challenges with licensing and registration in the gaming industry, primarily due to the complex and time-consuming licensing processes. To overcome these obstacles, we have partnered with OneComply to improve our application processes, leveraging their technology to automatically generate our licensing applications.
