Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) has become a Diamond-Elite Sponsor of the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR), reaffirming the company’s longstanding support for regulatory education and international collaboration in gaming oversight.
Through this sponsorship, GLI will support IAGR’s year-round work and will lead the 2026 IAGR Annual Conference in Lima, Peru, from October 19-22, 2026, which will feature a half-day GLI Regulators Workshop. The workshop will offer practical, technical, and operational risk-control education for regulators, with particular emphasis on issues important to Latin American regulators.
In addition to the workshop, GLI will support IAGR’s expanding program of work by making subject matter experts available, as needed, to assist the IAGR Technology Working Group and Model Rules Committee. These initiatives are intended to strengthen regulatory effectiveness, improve coordination across jurisdictions, and help regulators respond to emerging risks and technologies.
“GLI has supported IAGR and the global regulatory community for decades, and we are proud to deepen that commitment through this Diamond-Elite Sponsorship. IAGR’s work is expanding rapidly in ways that are highly aligned with our own long-standing focus on regulatory education, technical excellence, and practical support for regulators. We are especially pleased to contribute programming in Lima that will provide actionable value for regulators, including content tailored to the priorities of Latin American jurisdictions,” said GLI President and CEO James R. Maida.
“We are grateful to GLI for its consistent support of IAGR and for the high-quality programming it has delivered over many years. This sponsorship reflects a shared commitment to stronger regulatory cooperation and to equipping regulators with practical tools and knowledge to address emerging challenges,” said Ben Haden, President of IAGR.

Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) has become the first international gaming lab to be accredited in Ukraine.
GLI Europe B.V. was appointed by Ukrainian regulatory authority, PlayCity, as both a testing/certification and inspection body for gambling equipment in the country and is currently the only foreign entity to be accredited.
GLI Europe B.V. will perform testing and certification of all gaming related hardware and software in accordance with the requirements of PlayCity and the Ukrainian gaming regulatory framework. GLI will deliver all Ukrainian certification services through its European operational hub, GLI Europe B.V., ensuring certification is conducted under GLI’s ISO/IEC 17025, 17020, and 17065 accreditations.
The company will work with both foreign and Ukrainian suppliers, whereas Ukraine is considered a regulated market, and suppliers will need to hold a certificate of approval from PlayCity in order to request certification for the market.
“We are grateful for the trust PlayCity has placed in GLI. At GLI, we work with regulators in more than 710 jurisdictions, and we will bring our global expertise to PlayCity and to suppliers who wish to enter the Ukrainian market, guaranteeing the highest levels of testing quality and compliance,” said James Boje, Managing Director, EMEIA.
