Gaming Laboratories International (GLI®) has certified EveryMatrix’s core platform products with a twin set of gold standards enabling it to rapidly deliver its trusted technology across further regulated markets.

CasinoEngine and GamMatrix, EveryMatrix’s productivity and player account management platforms, are now fully certified to the GLI-19 standard, while its sportsbook platform OddsMatrix is certified to the GLI-33 standard.

GLI-19 relates to interactive gaming systems, while GLI-33 pertains to event wagering systems. The certification tests were executed by the GLI team.

Both are widely accepted to be among the gold standard certifications within the betting and iGaming industry and mark an important milestone in EveryMatrix’s 16-year history as it continues to grow and rank among the fastest growing technology providers.

All three platform products have been recognised as adhering to compliance requirements and best practices dictated by the two GLI standards. This now allows EveryMatrix to demonstrate compliance in all jurisdictions that base their regulations on the GLI-19 and GLI-33 standards.

The GLI certifications across CasinoEngine, GamMatrix and OddsMatrix also allows EveryMatrix to accelerate its technology deployment in each existing or new jurisdiction with the testing lab only needing to perform a reduced set of tests in each case.

Jake Cachia, Head of Compliance, EveryMatrix, said: “Customers across the world today look to work with providers that have software certified according to these two standards which represent the highest mark of quality and compliance in our industry.

“We are already seen as one of the most trusted partners in the market, however both GLI-19 and GLI-33 will help us build on this even more within regulated jurisdictions and we’re grateful to GLI for conducting such a thorough and efficient process.”

Chris Davies, Vice President of Sales, GLI Europe, said: “It has been a privilege for GLI to support the EveryMatrix Team in going live in North America and LatAm markets based on GLI standards. It has, and it continues to be, a true collaboration, engaging with such an innovative team. We are excited to see the significant progress they make and wish them and everyone a successful G2E.”
