Why NetBenefit Software Is Becoming Essential to New York’s Casino, Gaming, and Sports Betting Industry

In New York’s casino, gaming, and sports betting market, compliance does not end when a license is awarded. It begins. Under the ongoing oversight of the New York State Gaming Commission NYSGC, operators are expected to prove continuously and credibly that their projects deliver the economic, workforce, and community benefits promised during the licensing process across all phases of development, from construction through operations and long term maintenance. Achieving these outcomes requires industry, government, and local residents to work together, stay educated, and remain committed to transparent compliance data that translates into real quality of life improvements.

This expectation has elevated compliance from documentation to infrastructure. At the center of that shift is NetBenefit Software.

As part of the LocalContent.com suite of solutions, NetBenefit Software is a compliance and reporting platform that tracks, verifies, and reports economic, workforce, and community benefit outcomes required by regulators throughout the full lifecycle of public private infrastructure projects, including energy, transmission, and New York’s casino, gaming, and sports betting industry.

For high profile projects such as Bally’s Bronx, Citi Field’s Metropolitan Park, and Resorts World New York City, this technology is quickly becoming foundational to how compliance is managed and demonstrated for companies of all tiers across the casino and gaming supply chain and communicated to the public.

The NYSGC is not a passive approver of casino licenses. Its mandate extends through construction, operations, and ongoing performance. License conditions tied to local hiring, workforce quality, supplier diversity, domestic sourcing, and community mitigation are enforceable and subject to review, often on short notice. Effective oversight also depends on informed participation from local governments and community stakeholders who expect to see tangible benefits delivered over time.

As a result, casino operators must be able to surface verified compliance data at any moment, whether responding to an audit, a community advisory committee inquiry, or a license modification request. NetBenefit Software supports this level of readiness by ensuring that required KPIs are continuously discoverable and instantly reportable, enabling constructive dialogue rather than reactive enforcement.

Each of New York’s major casino developments carries measurable economic and employment implications that fall squarely under NYSGC oversight and are closely watched by local communities.

• Bally’s Bronx Ferry Point is anchored by an estimated $1 billion or more in capital investment and is projected to generate approximately 2,500 to 4,000 construction jobs along with 3,000 or more permanent operations jobs. The project is expected to drive hundreds of millions of dollars annually in economic activity tied to hospitality, food services, maintenance, security, and local procurement.
• Citi Field’s Metropolitan Park (Queens) represents an estimated $1.5 to $2 billion development. Workforce projections include roughly 3,500 to 5,000 construction jobs and 4,000 or more permanent jobs. Long term regional economic impact is projected to exceed $25 billion over 30 years, with regulators and residents alike focused on how these benefits translate into local hiring, small business growth, and sustained community investment.
• Resorts World New York City (Queens) already supports 1,500 or more jobs and is projected to add an additional 1,000 to 2,000 roles as full casino operations expand. Ongoing workforce stability, vendor integrity, and verified economic contribution remain central to license compliance and community trust.

Although casino licenses are issued to a single operator, the delivery of public benefit occurs across the entire supply chain. Tier 1 operators rely on Tier 2 and Tier 3 contractors, Tier 4 suppliers, workforce organizations, and community partners to fulfill regulatory commitments. This is where compliance risk often emerges and where shared education and coordination are most critical.

NetBenefit Software provides a shared compliance backbone that tracks and verifies, in real time, the core metrics directly required under New York casino application and post licensure compliance frameworks, including:

• Local and domestic supplier spend across Tier 1 through Tier 4
• MWBE, veteran owned, and small business participation rates
• Construction and permanent job creation by role, wage level, and residency
• Workforce training participation, credentialing, and advancement outcomes
• Labor and union compliance where applicable
• Community benefit investments, mitigation commitments, and delivery timelines
• Capital investment allocated to New York State based businesses
• Ongoing operational spending retained within host communities
• Audit ready documentation aligned with NYSGC license conditions

‍

By making these metrics accessible and understandable, NetBenefit Software helps translate compliance into quality of life indicators that matter to regulators, policymakers, workers, small businesses, and local residents alike.

For the New York State Gaming Commission, NetBenefit Software strengthens transparency, accountability, and public trust. For casino operators, it reduces regulatory risk and protects long term license value. For local governments and residents, it provides clear visibility into whether promised benefits are being delivered and sustained.

In New York’s casino, gaming, and sports betting industry, compliance is no longer episodic or defensive. It is continuous, measurable, and enforceable, and it works best when industry, government, and communities remain engaged, educated, and committed to using data to improve quality of life for all.
