An independent accreditation standard · US & Canada

The trust mark for betting and prediction market content.

RGCN accredits sports betting, prediction market, and gambling creators against a public responsible gambling standard, so operators know exactly who they can safely sponsor, and audiences know who holds themselves to one.

Free to join the waitlist. Founding cohort opens ahead of the 2027 NFL season.

Why now

Regulators worldwide are moving on betting and prediction market creators. North America is next.

Brazil · Aug 2026

Conar, Brazil’s advertising self-regulation council, now requires influencers to be accredited before promoting betting platforms, with ongoing monitoring of accredited profiles.

United States

Legal sports betting reached $16.96B in revenue in 2025, and sports event contracts on regulated prediction markets now reach the same audience through a second, separately regulated channel. As both markets grow, state regulators, the CFTC, and the leagues are scrutinizing creator and affiliate marketing more closely every season.

The gap

No independent body in the US or Canada verifies that betting and prediction market creators follow responsible marketing practices. Operators carry that risk alone. RGCN closes the gap.

The RGCN Standard · v1.0 draft

Five commitments. Publicly verifiable.

Every accredited creator agrees to the full standard, completes responsible gambling training, and appears in the public registry. Accreditation renews annually.

I

Clear sponsorship disclosure

Every paid post, referral link, and operator partnership is disclosed plainly, in line with FTC guidance.

II

No guaranteed-win claims

No “locks,” no promises of profit, no presenting betting or trading as income. Records shared honestly, wins and losses.

III

Age-appropriate audiences

Content, targeting, and platform settings directed to audiences 21 and over, with no elements designed to appeal to minors.

IV

Responsible gambling messaging

Sponsored betting and prediction market content carries responsible gambling resources and helpline information, every time.

V

Annual training and renewal

Creators complete responsible gambling education on joining and renew their credential each year to stay in the registry.

Held accountable

Verified complaints are reviewed by RGCN. Credentials can be suspended or revoked, and the registry always shows current status.
