As a first step, we can see the applicant/player initiating the license application by sending an fee to an address provided by the state.

This page/QR code could be served up remotely over the internet, or in person for added security.

We envision the receiving address to be unique per applicant, and provided from an HD wallet for easy/secure address distribution/management.

While this step could be seen as optional, it does provide an on-chain record of the applicant address which is important for step 2. Also, by requiring the application fee first we can ensure the applicant is serious about applying.
