USA · affiliate & B2B · per-state registration/licensing
US gaming affiliate licensing.
We cover all 50 states. Where a state licenses or registers gaming affiliates, we secure it; where a state has no affiliate regime, we get you operating legally through foreign qualification. One partner, every state you want to earn in — filed correctly and rolled out in the right order.
Registration or licence? It depends how you're paid
The single biggest factor is your compensation model. Flat-fee and revenue-share are treated very differently — and getting the classification right saves months and real money:
Two examples
Flat-fee affiliates register as a vendor (free, but a casino partner initiates it). Revenue-share affiliates need an ACSIE licence — more disclosure and a $2,000 non-refundable application fee. Registration is with the DGE.
Affiliates are Gaming Service Providers: registered for flat-fee, certified for revenue-share (a deeper, costlier background investigation, including fingerprinting). Marketing materials must be pre-approved.
What we do
FAQ
Do gambling affiliates really need a licence in the US?
In regulated states, yes — to be paid for promoting licensed operators you must be registered or licensed. Flat-fee (CPA) models usually need a lighter registration; revenue-share models require a full licence (e.g. New Jersey's ACSIE or Pennsylvania's certified Gaming Service Provider).
What's the difference between registration and a licence?
Registration is lighter and faster but typically limits you to flat-fee deals. A full licence allows revenue-share but requires deeper background checks, financial disclosures, fees and — in some states — fingerprinting. We classify each state correctly for your model.
Is it one filing or many?
Many. There's no single federal gaming-affiliate licence — each regulated state (NJ, PA, MI, Ohio and others) has its own regime. We build a sequenced multi-state plan so you're licensed where the revenue is.
What about states with no affiliate licence?
Many states don't have a specific gaming-affiliate licensing regime. There you operate legally by foreign-qualifying your entity — registering it to do business in that state and appointing a registered agent. We handle that too, so you're covered across all 50 states, not just the licensing ones.
What does Vantegris handle?
State-by-state classification, the applications and disclosures, background and (where required) fingerprinting logistics, marketing pre-approval, and the multi-state rollout. Not legal advice — we work alongside your counsel.
