Games test reports (remote gambling and gambling software)

A key requirement of the RTS and testing strategy for compliance with the RTS is that remote gambling licence holders submit games test results and random number generator (RNG) test results to us.

This provides us with assurance that new games (or major updates of games) comply with the RTS. It also assures us that the RNG driven products such as casino, bingo and virtual betting, comply with our fairness specifications.

This requirement applies to all holders of:

  • gambling software licences and remote bingo operating licences
  • remote bingo (game host)
  • remote casino
  • remote casino (game host)
  • remote general betting standard (virtual events)
  • remote betting host (virtual events).

Licence holders must submit their games and RNG test results to us via the games register which is part of the  eServices digital service (opens in new tab).

The games register allows licence holders to add entries, withdraw entries and reinstate entries. It also offers options of bulk processing of additions or withdrawals, and for licence holders to download a register of the games/test results they have registered with us as a .csv file.

If you hold a gambling software licence, the new system allows you to add details of the game and relevant test reports. This will generate a unique game register reference, which you will supply to gambling businesses who provide the game to players. 

Game and RNG testing must be carried out by an approved Test House.

Warning Satisfactory testing is to be completed and the report submitted to us before a game is released for play.

If you experience technical issues preventing you submitting games test or RNG test reports to us, you should capture evidence of the problems experienced and contact us to discuss.

B2C licensees who use the services of a B2B for the provision of gaming content must still maintain their own up-to-date games register (within our eServices games register system) for any games offered directly or via the B2B.
