Online Gaming Integrity Geofencing System

The Florida Gaming Control Commission is seeking information on technical solutions to prevent illegal online gambling operators from accessing Florida residents, targeting a statewide geofencing system capable of blocking access regardless of whether operators voluntarily implement such measures. The initiative requires proposals that include robust detection and tracking mechanisms for illicit gambling platforms, with emphasis on identifying lookalike domains and operating effectively in decentralized DNS environments. Responses must attest to full compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, particularly Florida Statutes Chapter 849, and ensure that all data and infrastructure are hosted within the Continental United States. The Commission also seeks vendors who can demonstrate capabilities for collaboration with key stakeholders such as telecommunications providers, internet service providers, and electronic marketplaces to enhance enforcement reach without mandating their participation. Submissions must include detailed technical architecture, implementation methodologies, case studies, cost estimates, and a vendor-managed portal for real-time reporting and investigations, with all materials marked confidential and accompanied by redacted versions per Chapter 119, Florida Statutes. The request is issued as a Request for Information under solicitation number FGCC 25/26-12, explicitly not a solicitation for contract awards but a market research tool to inform future procurement decisions. The response deadline has been extended to July 3, 2026, with submissions required via email only in a single document using the prescribed naming convention. No federal acquisition regulations apply, and no formal contract clauses, evaluation weights, pricing line items, or delivery schedules are specified, as this stage is focused on gathering vendor capabilities rather than awarding a contract. The Commission retains the right to use submitted information to shape future competitive solicitations, and any selected technologies must operate without requiring regulatory mandates on third-party providers. All solutions must support 24/7 system monitoring, enforce blocklists in near real time, and maintain audit trails and data retention consistent with Florida law. The agency’s point of contact for inquiries is Lisa Mustain, Director of Administration, with no designated contracting officer’s representative identified at this time.
