On July 8, licensing firm Compliable, formerly Rebric, announced that former Penn National Gaming general counsel Carl Sottosanti had been appointed to its board of advisors.
Compliable recently secured funding to develop its platform, which helps U.S. sportsbooks prepare applications and secure employee licenses across the country.
Sottosanti spent more than 17 years at Penn National, where he focused on development opportunities, compliance and corporate governance. After stepping down from his position at Penn in 2020, Sottosanti continues to be active in the gaming space, including advisory positions for a variety of companies and academic institutions.
Chris Oltyan, CEO of Compliable, said: “We are thrilled to have Carl join our advisory board as he brings a unique combination of industry expertise that will help us develop our platform further and scale our business going forward. We really value his input and guidance and look forward to working together.”
Sottosanti said: “I am pleased to join the advisory board of Compliable, a company that has found a solution to the very real and growing employee licensing challenges faced by all operators and vendors. From my own experience in the sector, I understand how vital Compliable’s platform is and I’m looking forward to working together during this very exciting time for the U.S. gaming industry.”
Compliable’s platform reduces the time it takes to get staff licensed “from weeks to days,” the company states. In addition, it lowers the workload for compliance teams, significantly reduces the costs related to licensing and accelerates moving into new markets at a time when first-mover advantage is critical.
