Chicago, Illinois · Pre-opt-in market

Get your Chicago floor in front of Operators before the opt-in.

Chicago hasn’t allowed video gaming yet — but that’s moving. When the city opens up, its floors become the most competed-for inventory in Illinois. Post your place now, anonymously and with no gaming history required, and line up Operators competing to earn it.

No money changes hands on an offer. Operators compete on service — newer machines, better games, faster response — and on helping you get licensed.

Your identity releases only when you award. Small cells widen to a region so you can’t be reverse-identified.

Why greenfield wins

No revenue history? That’s your advantage.

Everywhere else on The Gameset, a location’s past numbers anchor the conversation. A brand-new Chicago floor has none — so there’s nothing for an Operator to hide behind. Service is the whole contest.

Money is off the table by law

In Illinois the video gaming split is locked at 50/50 by law, so Operators can't win you over with a better cut. They compete on what they'll actually do.

No numbers to hide behind

With no revenue history to anchor on, offers stand entirely on games, cabinet age, refresh cadence, and response time — service, head to head.

They'll help you get licensed

Getting a new location licensed is real work. Operators can commit to the hands-on steps — documents, fingerprints, paperwork, inspections. Hands-on help, never money — an Operator can't cover your licensing fees.

How it works in Chicago

Three steps, no gaming history required.

  1. 1

    Build your profile — no record needed

    Self-report your venue, area, and how many terminals you can host. We coarsen the location to county and a region, so you stay anonymous from the first day.

  2. 2

    Operators compete to earn you

    Licensed Operators spend prepaid Listing tokens to unlock, then submit structured, money-free offers — service and licensing help, lined up side by side on the Board.

  3. 3

    Award on your own terms

    Compare offers apples-to-apples and pick one. Identities release only when you award, and every step is written to an append-only transaction ledger.

Anonymous by default

County + band only, never a name or exact figure. Small cells widen to a region.

No money on an offer

A flat Listing-token fee to unlock. No price, split, or bonus field exists — anywhere.

Append-only transaction ledger

Every publish, unlock, offer, and award — ours as well as yours — is recorded as it happens and never edited after.

Claim your spot in the Chicago market.

Free to list, anonymous throughout, and you award on your own terms. No money ever touches an offer.
