Frequently asked questions
Do game developers need their own gaming licence if they do not handle player bets?
Yes, many premier jurisdictions, including Malta, the United Kingdom and Romania, mandate critical gaming supply licences for software developers and platform providers to ensure game mathematics, integrity and software architecture meet regulatory specifications.
What technical testing must B2B gaming software undergo?
Game code and random number generators must be audited and certified by accredited independent testing laboratories (such as eCOGRA or GLI) to verify game randomness, theoretical return-to-player percentages and absence of security vulnerabilities.
