BMM Testlabs, the world’s longest-established gaming test laboratory, has been officially granted approval and accreditation as a Testing and Certification Laboratory in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, significantly expanding its regulated footprint in one of Latin America’s fastest-growing gaming markets.

The authorization, issued under the state’s formal lottery regime Loteria do Estado de Minas Gerais, allows BMM Testlabs to test and certify fixed-odds iGaming and sports betting products, including online sports wagering and instant games offered through LotoMinas.bet. The approval marks another key milestone in BMM’s long-term expansion strategy across Brazil’s evolving regulatory landscape.

Strategic expansion in Brazil’s second-largest state

Minas Gerais is Brazil’s second-largest state, home to more than 21 million residents and a major economic center in the country’s southeast region. Entry into this jurisdiction positions BMM Testlabs to support regulators, operators, and suppliers as the state develops its regulated online gaming and sports betting ecosystem.

With the Minas Gerais license, BMM Testlabs is now fully authorized to test and certify regulated gaming products across five Brazilian jurisdictions, including:

  • Federal-level accreditation in Brazil
  • State-level accreditation in Minas Gerais
  • State-level accreditation in Paraná
  • State-level accreditation in Maranhão
  • State-level accreditation in Rio Grande do Norte

This expanding portfolio reinforces BMM’s role as a trusted compliance partner in Brazil’s rapidly formalizing gaming sector.

Supporting regulators and sustainable market growth

Marzia Turrini, President of iGaming & Cybersecurity at BMM Testlabs, said the approval underscores the company’s commitment to supporting Brazil’s regulators and licensed suppliers with independent, high-quality testing services. “As the Brazilian market continues to evolve, regulators and suppliers require testing partners with deep technical expertise, global experience, and strong local knowledge,” Turrini said. “We are proud to support Minas Gerais with independent testing and certification services that help protect players, strengthen regulatory confidence, and enable sustainable market growth.”

Global experience with deep local reach

Founded in 1981, BMM Testlabs is the longest-standing private independent gaming certification laboratory in the world. The company has spent more than four decades testing and certifying a full range of gaming products, including land-based gaming systems, online and iGaming platforms, sports betting, lottery solutions, and emerging digital wagering technologies.

BMM has been recognized for its regulatory leadership, winning the Vixio Global Regulatory Award for Testing Service or Solution Provider of the Year in both 2024 and 2025. The company authored the first independent gaming standards in 1992 and the first online gaming standards in 2001, helping shape modern compliance frameworks worldwide.

Innovation, cybersecurity, and global scale

In addition to traditional testing and certification services, BMM operates the BMM Innovation Group (BIG), which delivers advanced technology solutions focused on cybersecurity through BIG Cyber and professional training through RG24seven Virtual Training.

BMM Testlabs employs more than 800 professionals across 16 global locations and holds more than 700 licenses worldwide, enabling it to support regulators and gaming suppliers across mature and emerging markets. The company’s global headquarters are in Las Vegas, with offices throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, including a growing presence in Brazil.

With its new Minas Gerais accreditation, BMM Testlabs continues to solidify its position as a leading testing and certification authority for Brazil’s regulated iGaming and sports betting market.

BMM Testlabs has been granted official approval to provide independent testing services for the Province of Santa Fe Province as that jurisdiction launches its regulated online gaming and sports betting program.

The authorization from provincial authorities means suppliers and operators can now work with an established lab to certify games, platforms and systems for the new market.

The approval comes after Santa Fe published its laboratory regulation (No. 523/25) in November 2025 and was issued by the provincial gaming authority, the Caja de Asistencia Social – Lotería de Santa Fe. BMM’s local and regional capabilities — including offices and labs across Latin America — position the company to support both early entrants and established suppliers as the market develops.

Marzia Turrini, President of iGaming & Cybersecurity at BMM, said the approval underscores the company’s commitment to helping regulators, operators and suppliers maintain high standards of fairness, security and compliance as Brazil and other Latin American markets expand. This Santa Fe authorization adds to BMM’s growing regional footprint and complements the group’s broader suite of services. Marzia Turrini

As Argentina’s regulated gaming landscape continues to evolve, early approvals like this one are important signals for the industry — they enable faster certification, local technical support and clearer timelines for operators planning launches in the province and beyond. BMM’s expanded access across Latin America is part of a broader industry trend in which established test labs secure local authorizations to support jurisdiction-specific requirements.
