Our compliance team is actively tracking the state and continuously reaching out to cities to verify they have licenses available and are accepting new applications. This helps inform which cities are best to enter for ease of licensing, along with analyzing the areas with the most revenue potential. Such as cities near state borders or areas that have nearby cities that have opted out.
Currently we are working on securing compliant opportunities in the following markets:
- Meridian
- Jackson
- Biloxi
- Gulfport
- Ocean Springs
- Olive Branch
- Southaven
- Moss Point
- Vicksburg
