For terminal operators

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 location you actually unlock.

You win on what you’re already good at.

Illinois fixes the split at 50/50 by statute (230 ILCS 40/25(c)). What decides a location 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.

How it works

Four steps, and only one of them costs anything.

  1. 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.

  2. 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 listing you choose.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

The fee

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 is made of what you will actually do. An offer is titles, hardware, refresh cadence, coin-op and response time — the things a location can hold you to, on the same rows as everyone else's. That is the whole schema.

  • 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 a flat price, bought in any quantity with no bulk discount. A listing costs a set number of tokens depending on the location, and the exact figure is shown on the listing before you spend. Verified terminal operators see both figures on the pricing page.

What you can offer

The whole list, before you spend anything.

Offers are made of service. This is everything a terminal operator may put in one under Rule 1800.350(b) — the same list the offer form gives you, shown here so you can price your own package before you register.

  • Hardware & service to connect terminals

    Capped at $2,500 total under Rule 1800.350(b).

  • Interior gaming signage / marketing collateral

    Permitted good under Rule 1800.350(b).

  • Gaming-area seating & furniture

    Permitted good under Rule 1800.350(b).

  • Network wiring for terminal connectivity

    Part of the capped connection allowance under Rule 1800.350(b).

  • Staff training on terminal operation

    Permitted service under Rule 1800.350(b).

Anything not on this list cannot go in an offer, and there is no free-text way around it. Everything you put in one is something a location can hold you to.

Seats

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 location there, and 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 location while the region still has room.

  • We will never sell your seat. A seat you hold is not for sale to anybody else, at any price — there is no offer another terminal operator can make us for it. And if we ever lower a cap, it applies to the next terminal 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.
