ODDS ON COMPLIANCE EXPANDS PLAYBOOK WITH ADDITION OF PLAYBOOKAI BETA TEST
Odds On Compliance, the industry-leading technology and consultancy firm specializing in sports betting, iGaming, and gambling regulatory compliance in the U.S. and abroad, has expanded its Playbook product to include beta testing of its multi-state natural language search functionality, PlaybookAI. Playbook is the game-changing technological resource that provides the most comprehensive overview ever produced of the U.S. sports betting, iGaming, daily fantasy sports, and iLottery regulatory environment. PlaybookAI will feature natural language processing and text classification that offers enhanced search capabilities across Playbook’s comprehensive database of state-by-state compliance and regulatory documentation. This enables users, via a simple question and answer search function, to quickly get regulatory guidance across multiple jurisdictions. Playbook users can also share and collaborate on documents in real-time with team members and colleagues.
“The response across the industry to the launch of Playbook has been universally positive, and now we unveil PlaybookAI, which takes our platform to an even greater level of user efficiency and value,” commented Eric Frank, CEO and Co-Founder of Odds On Compliance. “PlaybookAI enhances the user experience of an already incredible technology product, one that instantly improves the industry’s ability to navigate the ever-changing compliance and regulatory environment across the U.S., and eventually abroad. We know, from the overwhelmingly positive response from people who have registered for Playbook+, that it provides solutions to issues that have created inefficiencies and unnecessary complications for years. Now, PlaybookAI goes one step even further, and we’re incredibly proud to launch this next phase of Playbook to the world.”
Playbook, Playbook+ and PlaybookAI provide virtual gateways to a vast collection of regulatory documentation for U.S. states with legalized sports betting, daily fantasy sports, iGaming and iLottery. Each version of Playbook features carefully curated, managed, and updated statutes, regulations, and requirements that enable businesses to stay in step with the agencies that regulate them. During the beta test period, users of Playbook+ will get the additional add on feature of PlaybookAI.
