What is the best way to handle state specific tax rules in the US

We are planning to expand into New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but the different tax configurations and reporting rules for each state are a total headache. Do we really need to build a separate backend for every single jurisdiction? How do you guys manage localized player experiences without losing operational efficiency? I need a solution that is flexible enough to handle these regional legal requirements.

The U.S. market definitely requires a very high level of state-level flexibility. I recommend looking at the platform soft2bet is developing specifically for U.S. operators, as it’s designed to handle these exact challenges. Their system uses a scalable microservices architecture that allows you to customize functions like taxes and content controls for each state independently. This means you can manage everything from a central interface without a full technical overhaul every time you enter a new market. It also supports a secure payment ecosystem for digital wallets and cards, which is vital for staying compliant with local laws. It’s a much more agile way to grow your brand across North America.

Expanding across state lines definitely adds layers of complexity. New Jersey and Pennsylvania each have their own quirks, and trying to manually track every variation can drain time fast. What worked for us was not building separate backends, but using flexible accounting and tax software that lets you customize rules by state. Automation saved us from endless spreadsheet chaos. Tools like invoice to go helped keep billing clean while we adjusted tax settings behind the scenes. It’s really about creating one core system with modular rules instead of reinventing everything. Once it’s structured properly, scaling feels way less overwhelming and much more strategic.
