Locations that are actually shopping.
Stop cold-calling bars that already renewed. Locations list with us when they’re genuinely considering a change — most with an agreement inside its final year.
You see the county, the revenue band, the terminal count and roughly how long is left — and your token is spent only on the floor you actually unlock.
There is nothing to outbid. That’s the point.
Illinois fixes the split at 50/50 by statute and prohibits inducements (230 ILCS 40/25(c)), so no one can win a floor by paying more for it. What’s left is everything you’re already good at: your titles, how new your cabinets are, your refresh cadence, your coin-op, and how fast your tech gets there.
Put those in writing, side by side with everyone else’s, and let the location choose. Offers are anonymized until an award — you are Operator A, B or C until a location picks one.
Four steps, and only one of them costs anything.
Register your IGB terminal operator license
We verify it against the IGB list before you can unlock anything. Every terminal operator on the board is a licensed one.
Add a token — the board opens
One prepaid Listing token opens every anonymized listing — county, revenue band, terminal count, roughly how long is left on the agreement. It isn't spent on browsing; you hold it to unlock the floor you choose.
Unlock a listing when it's worth it
Spending your token unlocks that location's full profile so you can make an informed offer — you browse the whole board first and choose exactly where it goes.
Submit a service offer, and track it
A structured offer — cabinets, refresh cadence, coin-op, response-time SLA, permitted equipment. You can see where it stands and withdraw it any time before an award.
What it is — and what it is not.
This is the part worth reading closely, because it’s the part most marketplaces are vague about.
It buys access to data, and nothing else. A token is spent when you unlock a listing — before any offer exists. It is non-refundable and completely independent of whether you win.
It is not a success fee, a commission, or a share of anything. We take no percentage of any deal, ever. That is a structural commitment, not a current price.
It buys no advantage. Paying more cannot move you up a list or in front of a location. Every unlocked operator is presented to the location the same way.
Your offer carries no money, because there is no field for it. There is no price, split, bonus or payment field anywhere on an offer. That is what keeps this on the right side of the inducement rule for you as well as for us.
What you may provide is capped by rule, and we show you the list. Equipment and services are limited to what Rule 1800.350(b) permits — including $2,500 for the hardware and service to connect terminals. You can only promise what you can legally keep.
Tokens are $2,500 each, bought in any quantity with no bulk discount. A listing costs between $2,500 and $12,500 to unlock depending on the floor, and the exact figure is shown on the listing before you spend. See the full pricing breakdown.
One floor, against one fee.
A floor running at the bottom of the $50 – $80 band with 5 terminals earns its terminal operator roughly $30,000 – $49,000 a year under the statutory split — every year of the use agreement. Unlocking that listing costs $2,500, once.
The fee is about 8% of what that floor pays you in its first year alone, against an agreement measured in years — and that is the cheapest band on the board, where the fee weighs heaviest.
Illustrative, not a forecast. It multiplies out the published bounds of a band we already show you, at the Illinois split and gaming tax. Gross, before your own terminals, techs and financing — so it sizes the fee against the floor, not your return. Not a projection of what any floor will earn you, and not a promise you’ll win it. The same math for every band.
Each region seats 10 operators.
Illinois is divided into 7 regions, and admission to each is capped. You take a seat in a region the first time you unlock a floor there — and you keep it. Every unlock after that in the same region costs no new seat.
A seat is earned, never sold. There is no way to buy one, reserve one, or pay to jump ahead of a terminal operator already seated. The only way in is to unlock a floor while the region still has room.
You cannot be evicted from one. Once you hold a seat in a region it stays yours. If we ever lower a cap, it applies to the next operator in — never to anyone already seated.
This is the reason to be early, and the only one we have. Everything else here — the fee, the board, the offer format — is the same for the terminal operator who registers a year from now. A region with its seats taken is not.
A location that backs out doesn’t cost you the fee.
If a location signs a Commitment to Execute and then backs out, we make the affected operator whole with a replacement unlock credit. The original fee stands — it bought access, and you got it — but you don’t pay twice for someone else’s change of heart.
