Esports suppliers must lead from the front – PandaScore’s Colorado licence

September 5, 2024

Sportsbetting in the United States is still completely trusted, and with the progress of regulations, the overall market and opportunities for e-sports are expanding.

As a result, the Pandas score has recently obtained the first license in the Esports friendly Colorado State in the advantageous US market. This movement shows our motivation in the United States, and also shows our methodology to solve the problem of uncertainty that the United States is suffering.

Supplier licensing should lead the way

Unknown numbers on the market and the available lines are important pieces of puzzles in many judicial jurisdictions. The uncertainty about the law means that the operator is hesitant to jump in with both feet. Pandascore supports the operator to navigate the state of E-sports betting for each state, and to make a market business decision with the appropriate balance between stability and opportunity.

Except for some states, Esports Betting regulations are relatively new. Due to the lack of precedents and the nature of the rapid evolution, regulations may be further strengthened in the future. We are going to be at the forefront of Ec o-System (operators, suppliers, regulatory authorities, and people who enjoy betting).

The regulations of the whole country may be changing at a variety of speeds, but almost all states are in one direction.

ESPORTS suppliers are obliged to show the operator and give tools, knowledge, and expertise to make the right decisions. We believe that we will enter while considering a certain market about ESPORTS, rather than going on a rash.

There are various reasons why Colorado was the first step in Pandaskore.

Why Colorado

When deciding which market to enter, we talked greatly to the client to narrowed down to states that have appropriate combinations such as commercial opportunities, stable regulatory environments, and simplicity of licensing.

Since ESPORTS regulated, Colorado has become a friendly framework for ESPORTS. The regular betting list contains a wide range of eSPORTS titles based on games and tournaments approved by publishers or regulators, which are similar to the conventional sports betting mechanism.

The process itself was simple and clear, with clear terms and advertising to encourage investment, entrepreneurship and innovation.

Colorado is the natural next step for PandaScore's first-approach service. A generation of online elements seeking esports betting products is already here, and esports suppliers must be a source of knowledge and expertise to guide and elevate their customers' ambitions.

Service-minded approach, client-led growth

We involve operators in license negotiations from the beginning, consider which license is most valuable to them, and leverage our lean and efficient operating model to make it happen.

We have proven that we are serious about the US market and can efficiently obtain licenses. So, when an operator wants a particular jurisdiction, we make the decision based on revenue potential, giving them a clear picture of the stigma-free market and doing the hard work of obtaining licenses to offer services in the US.

Player age verification as a mandatory service

A big part of this stigma-free image addresses the concerns and risks surrounding player age verification in esports. Compliance is paramount for both suppliers and operators, so knowing the requirements state-by-state is essential.

Pandascore has been offering player age verification for years and is well-established on this front, thanks to years of service in jurisdictions such as Australia and Sweden. We already have an API that customers can use with confidence, and we are enhancing it as a standalone service aimed at supporting regulators and government agencies to ensure compliance, trust and growth.

For esports betting to be successful, vendors need to lead from the front. They need to be a true and secure pair that is familiar with the relevant regulations, truly committed to the growing interests of their customers, and actively supporting and serving operators, players and regulators.
