Frequently Asked Questions
What is game certification, and why is it required?
Game certification is a formal evaluation of casino games, such as online slots, table games, crash games, and live dealer titles. It confirms that a game’s Random Number Generator, mathematical model, paytable logic, and interface comply with a jurisdiction’s regulatory standards. Gaming Associates provides this certification, which regulators across most iGaming jurisdictions require before a game can be deployed live to players.
What core elements are tested during a game certification audit?
Game certification evaluates RNG and statistical randomness, Return to Player (RTP) accuracy, game functionality and rule integrity, connection stability, and state recovery. Testing verifies that the game operates as intended, produces accurate outcomes and payouts, and meets the applicable technical and regulatory requirements.
What deliverables are provided once a game passes certification?
Upon successful certification, Gaming Associates issues a test report and a certificate of compliance, outlining the specific build version tested and confirming alignment with the applicable jurisdiction’s regulatory requirements.
How should developers prepare source code and math models for testing?
To help streamline the process, developers submitting games to Gaming Associates are encouraged to keep game logic isolated on the server side, document math models clearly, and provide clean, version-controlled build submissions, all of which tend to move through certification more efficiently.
Can a game certificate be used across multiple jurisdictions?
In many cases, yes. A primary certification can serve as a technical baseline for expansion into additional markets. Gaming Associates typically carries out a targeted gap analysis to adapt an existing certification for a new jurisdiction, rather than repeating the process from scratch.
What happens if a game doesn't pass certification?
Where Gaming Associates identifies a discrepancy, such as an RTP deviation or an issue with state recovery, a detailed report outlines the specific finding. Developers can then correct the issue and resubmit the affected component for targeted re-evaluation.
What types of games can be certified?
Gaming Associates certifies a range of game types, including slots, table games, live dealer games, crash games, and instant-win titles, each assessed against the requirements of the relevant jurisdiction.
Who is game certification for?
Gaming Associates provides game certification primarily for software providers and game developers preparing to launch a title in a regulated market, though platform providers and aggregators distributing third-party games often require certified titles as part of their own compliance obligations.
