Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) has been named as an independent testing laboratory by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).
GLI is the first gaming testing company to achieve the accreditation and is now authorized to test and certify iGaming platforms in the Philippines.
PAGCOR 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
GLI will bring its global expertise to the Philippines, helping to ensure PAGCOR meets its policy and regulatory objectives.
Submissions will be tested against GLI Standard Series GLI-19: Standards for Interactive Gaming Systems, which has been widely accepted and adopted by jurisdictions around the world.
“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.
“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 / certification, and data security.”
GLI president and CEO James R. Maida said: “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, and 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.”
