Games testing annual audit reports

Our testing strategy for compliance with the RTS requires licence holders to conduct an annual games testing audit and to send this to us.

The requirement for an annual games testing audit applies to those licensees that hold a:

  • gambling software licence

and at least one of the following:

  • remote bingo operating
  • remote bingo (game host)
  • remote casino
  • remote casino (game host)
  • remote general betting standard (virtual events)
  • remote betting host (virtual events).

Games testing annual audits report are not required from gaming machine technical (non-remote) licence holders.

The audit must be carried out by an approved Test House and the report counter-signed by a Personal Management Licence holder (or specified person) for your business.

Further details on games testing audits are in Section 4 of the testing strategy.

Licence holders must submit their games testing annual audit report to us, by uploading the report, via the audits part of the eServices digital service (opens in new tab).

You must do this annually, within 4 weeks after the audit period end date. Licence holders are each allocated to a submission pool, which dictates their audit period.

Audit periods for each submission pool are:

  • Pool 1: 1 July – 30 June following year
  • Pool 2: 1 October – 30 September following year
  • Pool 3: 1 January – 31 December following year
  • Pool 4: 1 April – 31 March following year.

If you experience technical issues that are preventing you from submitting the games testing annual audit report to us via eServices, you should capture evidence of the problems experienced and contact us to discuss.
