Technical standards

All gambling software e.g. a slots game, must meet our remote gambling and software technical standards if it is made available to customers via for example, an online casino in reliance on a Gambling Commission operating licence. The gambling software must be tested in accordance with the testing strategy prior to the game being made available for use.

However, if the gambling software is only ever supplied to operators licensed in other jurisdictions it does not need to comply with our remote gambling and software technical standards. Instead it must meet the technical and testing requirements of the jurisdiction it will be made available to players from.
