A gambling licence gets you legal standing. Certification is what actually lets you go live — integrate with Tier-1 operators, pass regulator technical reviews, and prove your games are fair. We coordinate the whole stack — ISO 27001, GLI-19/33, RNG and eCOGRA — through accredited labs and certification bodies, and manage the audits, evidence and renewals on your behalf.

Certification is a sales tool, not just compliance

For a B2B game provider, certification is what unblocks revenue. Tier-1 operators — the large licensed casino and sportsbook groups — will not integrate a third-party studio that introduces risk into their platform. In practice, two things are checked before any integration: information-security maturity (increasingly evidenced by ISO/IEC 27001) and game and system integrity (evidenced by GLI and RNG certification). Without them, commercial conversations stall at procurement.

The two layers you need

1. ISO/IEC 27001 — information security. The de-facto baseline for B2B integrations. Large operators increasingly expect it from suppliers, and it has become a common procurement gate. Some regulators reinforce this directly: Greece requires licence holders to hold accredited ISO 27001 certification, and Denmark waives certain security-audit requirements for ISO 27001-certified operators. Certificates run on a three-year cycle with annual surveillance audits and recertification before renewal.

2. GLI & RNG — gaming-specific certification. Issued by the same independent labs and usually bundled together: GLI-19 for interactive gaming systems (online casino / RGS), GLI-33 for event wagering (sportsbook), and RNG certification to prove game outcomes are random and fair (GLI, BMM, eCOGRA, iTech Labs). Certifying to GLI-19/33 also speeds entry to new markets — the lab runs a reduced delta test instead of a full re-evaluation.

What we manage for you

We coordinate the entire certification programme end to end — you stay focused on building product.

Certification roadmap & gap analysis

We map exactly which certifications your target operators and jurisdictions require, in what order, and where your current setup falls short.

ISO/IEC 27001 implementation support

We coordinate the ISMS build-out, documentation, internal audit and the accredited certification-body audit. We prepare you; the accredited body certifies.

GLI-19 / GLI-33 & RNG testing coordination

We package your technical documentation, manage the engagement with the test lab (GLI, BMM, eCOGRA, iTech Labs) and shepherd the submission through to certificate.

eCOGRA & fairness certification

Coordinated where operators or markets expect independent fairness and RTP certification.

Privacy & resilience add-ons for EU markets

ISO/IEC 27017 & 27018 (cloud security), ISO/IEC 27701 (privacy / GDPR alignment), ISO 22301 (business continuity) and ISO 37001 (anti-bribery), where a jurisdiction or partner requires it.

Audit, evidence & renewal management

Surveillance audits, delta re-tests and recertification tracked so nothing lapses.

How it works

A clear, managed path from first scoping call to certificate — and beyond.

  • 01

    Discovery

    We confirm your products (RGS, sportsbook, aggregator), target operators and target jurisdictions.

  • 02

    Roadmap & gap analysis

    The exact certification set, sequence and timeline, with a fixed-scope cost estimate.

  • 03

    Prepare & implement

    ISMS build-out, technical documentation and evidence packs; we coordinate the accredited body and labs.

  • 04

    Audit & certify

    The accredited certification body or test lab performs the audit; we manage the process and any remediation.

  • 05

    Maintain

    Surveillance audits, renewals and delta tests for new jurisdictions.

Costs & timeline

Certification cost and timeline depend on which certifications you need, the complexity of your platform and the labs involved. Rather than quote a misleading flat figure, we give you a fixed-scope estimate after the gap analysis — so you know the exact cost and sequence before committing.

Does Legarithm issue ISO 27001 or GLI certificates?

No. Certificates are issued only by accredited certification bodies and independent test labs. Our role is to manage and coordinate the entire process — gap analysis, implementation support, documentation, and the engagement with those bodies — so you reach certification faster and with less internal overhead.

Do I really need ISO 27001 to work with big operators?

Increasingly, yes. Large operators commonly expect ISO/IEC 27001 before integrating a third-party game supplier, and it has become a frequent procurement gate because it evidences a mature, audited approach to information security. For a B2B provider it functions as a commercial enabler, not just a compliance checkbox.

What's the difference between GLI-19 and GLI-33?

GLI-19 covers interactive gaming systems (online casino / remote game servers). GLI-33 covers event wagering systems (sportsbook / betting). Most casino studios need GLI-19; sportsbook providers need GLI-33; some need both.

How long are certifications valid?

ISO 27001 runs on a three-year cycle with annual surveillance audits and recertification before renewal. Gaming certifications are tied to the certified build — material changes to the platform or new jurisdictions typically require a delta re-test rather than a full re-evaluation.

Can one certification cover multiple jurisdictions?

Often, yes. Because many regulators base their technical rules on GLI-19/GLI-33, a certification to those standards can be recognised across jurisdictions that adopt them, with only a reduced delta test for local specifics — which is what speeds up multi-market deployment.
