What Gaming Compliance International does

Gaming Compliance International (legal entity: GCI AMERICAS INC.) is a private Delaware-incorporated RegTech company headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, that builds AI-powered transaction monitoring and compliance platforms for government gaming regulators, tribal gaming authorities, and licensed operators. The company's integrated platform comprises four modules: an Audit Platform providing tamper-proof transaction logging and gross gaming revenue (GGR) verification across casino, sportsbook, lottery, and e-gaming operations; a Content Monitoring system that uses multi-modal AI (text, video, audio) to detect non-compliant marketing and affiliate activity; a Market Intelligence product that maps regulated and unregulated gaming activity; and RegTech Solutions covering KYC, AML, and responsible gaming with AI-driven risk profiling. GCI's processing footprint includes 2.5 billion-plus transactions per day and 6 million-plus unlicensed content pieces monitored per day, with named deployments supporting PAGCOR in the Philippines, the Ohio Casino Control Commission, and the Montana Gambling Control Division, among others.

The company monetizes through subscription-based access to the GCI Platform plus separately invoiced professional and consulting services, with fees specified in Order Forms rather than publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise sales to governments and regulators, supported by thought leadership, research publications (including a $5.9 trillion unregulated market report), and industry event participation. The November 2025 acquisition of Yield Sec extended the platform into marketplace intelligence, with Yield Sec's founder Ismail Vali appointed as GCI's President. The company employs 11-50 staff, has no disclosed outside funding, and is led by CEO Matthew Holt with a C-suite covering product, technology, operations, and partnership development.
