Resort Advantage (RA), a producer of award-winning FinCEN and IRS compliance software solutions, has partnered with Indian gaming regulatory expert Theron “Scarlet Raven” Thompson to establish RA’s new Native American Gaming Division.
“Expanding upon our success in the Native American community has been a clear objective for our company, and we are pleased to partner with Theron Thompson to lead our expansion into Indian Country,” said Resort Advantage Managing Director Brian Ferrilla. “Theron is an enrolled member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate in North and South Dakota; he has over twenty-five years of experience in the tribal gaming industry and worked his way up from the front-line through executive management and regulatory management in multiple gaming operations across Indian Country.
“Theron’s knowledge, education and insight into Indian Country allows RA to deliver our proven vision to many more tribal casino customers, helping them to reduce costs, minimize risk, increase revenues, and work towards establishing a ‘findings-free’ FinCEN and IRS compliance management environment.
“As the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) ramps up its efforts to audit and assess fines to more casinos in the years to come, RA is committed to helping more tribally owned casinos to avoid these costly violations of the anti-money laundering regulations.”
Thompson added, “As founder of the Gaming Regulators and Surveillance Professionals Group, I carefully looked at Title 31 FinCEN compliance solutions for our nearly 2,000 members that cover all of Indian Country. The Native American gaming market is diverse with many small to mid-size casino operations that are often overlooked, although they too need cost-effective automated compliance capabilities.
“After much research and discussions, I concluded that Resort Advantage is the most innovative and advanced compliance automation solution provider and has proven they can deliver. I am very enthused to partner with RA and to share their complete FinCEN and IRS compliance management and reporting software solutions with Indian Country.”
