About iTech Labs
The laboratory’s testing scope covers RNG evaluation, RTP calculation and auditing, game rules verification, platform certification, integration testing, pari-mutuel systems, mobile compatibility, and collusion prevention in multi-player environments. Jurisdictions whose standards iTech Labs tests against include the UK, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Denmark, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Australia, among others. NATA accreditation under the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) mutual recognition arrangement means iTech Labs certificates carry formal recognition across member jurisdictions globally. Clients have included Playtech, NetEnt, and IGT.
Engagements begin with a fixed-price proposal covering testing scope, schedule, and deliverables. Clients must provide a working site, player accounts, and back-end access during testing. Progress reports are issued weekly or fortnightly, with bugs documented and retested as resolved. RNG evaluations typically complete within one to three weeks. Full game certification timelines vary by complexity, number of game types, and jurisdictional requirements. Monthly RTP audits are available post-certification to verify that live game performance matches the mathematically certified result. For studios targeting multiple jurisdictions, consolidated cross-market reporting is offered through a single engagement.

Industry Impact & Relevance
iTech Labs certificates are accepted across the principal European regulated markets and a number of offshore and emerging jurisdictions, making it a viable single-lab option for studios seeking multi-market certification without engaging separate test houses for each territory. Its NATA accreditation and ILAC membership provide the formal third-party competence verification that regulators require when approving laboratory submissions. Within the competitive landscape of iGaming testing, iTech Labs occupies a distinct position as a boutique operator that competes on responsiveness and direct engineer access rather than geographic scale, a positioning reinforced by its EMEIA commercial focus since the GLI acquisition. Its certificates are widely accepted in offshore and semi-regulated markets and across core European jurisdictions, though studios targeting US regulated states typically require GLI or BMM Testlabs certifications specifically.
For game developers and platform providers, the practical value of iTech Labs is clearest at the point of market entry and update management. A certification obtained through iTech Labs for the MGA or GSC is a regulatory prerequisite. Studios updating game mathematics or mechanics must submit the revised version for retesting, and iTech Labs’ project-based fixed-fee model provides cost predictability for studios releasing at volume. Following the GLI acquisition, clients gain access to GLI’s broader regulator relationships and laboratory network, which is particularly relevant for studios with longer-term ambitions in land-based or US markets where GLI’s own certifications carry more weight.
