Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) said Monday it has achieved iGaming accreditation as an Independent Testing Laboratory (ITL) by Philippine gaming regulator PAGCOR, making it the first gaming testing company to achieve the accreditation. As such, GLI is now authorized to test and certify iGaming platforms in the Philippines.
The company said in an announcement that it will now bring its expertise to the Philippines, helping to ensure PAGCOR meets its policy and regulatory objectives as set out in its rules. GLI’s presence and its GLI-19 Standard will also help suppliers who wish to successfully and compliantly enter the marketplace, it added, with submissions to be tested against “GLI Standard Series GLI-19: Standards for Interactive Gaming Systems.”
“Regulated gaming markets ensure a safer and more sustainable gaming industry for all to participate in,” said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco.
“A regulated market enables compliance to responsible gaming standards and the provision of tax revenue for reinvestment back into the community. PAGCOR now requires all iGaming B2B suppliers operating in the Philippines to be accredited to ensure they comply to the rigorous requirements needed to protect iGaming players.
“We are pleased to acknowledge GLI as the first testing and game certification provider to be accredited in the Philippines under this new framework. GLI is a global leader in regulatory advisory, iGaming and EGM testing and certification, and data security.”
GLI President and CEO James R. Maida added, “We are grateful to PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco and to the entire PAGCOR team for the trust they continue to place in GLI. Under the Chairman’s skillful leadership, the market in the Philippines has improved steadily. We are honored to be the first company to be accredited for iGaming testing and certification, and we look forward to working side-by-side with PAGCOR to meet their policy objectives.”
