BMM Testlabs, the world’s original gaming test lab and product compliance consultancy, is pleased to announce it is continuing its partnership with The National Tribal Gaming Commissioners & Regulators association (NTGCR) to offer a virtual Regulator Certification Academy in January 2021.

“NTGCR’s is looking forward its continuing its partnership with BMM Testlabs to host our second virtual Regulator Certification Academy,” said Jamie Hummingbird, NTGCR Chairman. “The virtual training is designed specifically for tribal gaming regulators and is provided by experienced tribal gaming regulators, offering useful information in addition to real-world experience. With many in-person events still being canceled, we must adapt to the circumstances to continue our mission and provide regulators with unique ways to come together as a community in a virtual environment to share experiences and offer our continued support.”

Registration for the Academy begins on December 10, 2020, and is being offered at a reduced rate. According to Chairman Hummingbird, “The Board recognizes that many tribal gaming operations are still experiencing a negative financial impact by the pandemic. As a result, tribal budgets have also been negatively impacted. By offering the training in an online forum versus a live setting, the cost of conducting the Academy is reduced. We respect the financial position our colleagues are in and wanted to pass those savings along to our participants.”

Michael Price, Senior Director of Tribal Services, stated, “We look forward to hosting the three-day event taking place between January 12-14, 2021, to provide the highest level of virtual training and education available. As an NTGCR Associate Member, we are proud to offer our support and resources to help ensure the advancement of tribal gaming and education, especially with the unrelenting challenges the pandemic is presenting. We will continue to leverage our virtual webinar platform to offer an innovative and engaging training experience for all those in attendance.”

‘Chaos and Soul’: Ebaka Games Plots Global Expansion After Viral Launch

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: The “Instant Game” vertical (Crash, Plinko, Mines) is becoming crowded, but Ebaka Games is cutting through the noise with a distinct brand personality. By securing BMM Testlabs certification so quickly after launch, they are signaling to Tier 1 operators that despite their “chaotic” marketing vibe, the math underneath is solid and compliant. The backing of industry veteran Dmitry Belianin also adds immediate commercial credibility to the startup.

The Full Story

Ebaka Games, the fledgling studio that promises to bring “chaos and soul” to the iGaming sector, has outlined an aggressive growth strategy for 2026 following a landmark launch period in late 2025.

The studio, which officially debuted in November, reports that its initial rollout reached more than five million people worldwide. The launch saw its portfolio go live with the operator Menace, serving as the initial testbed for its mechanics and “Ebaka modes.”

The Product: Instant Games with Personality Ebaka is bypassing traditional slots to focus on the high-growth vertical of fast-paced, instant-win games. Their initial lineup includes:

Plinko
Mines
Tower
Limbo
Crash

Differentiation is achieved through unique mascots and signature gameplay tweaks designed to offer high win potential and distinct visual identities, moving away from the generic interfaces often found in this genre.

Regulatory Milestone Crucially for its 2026 roadmap, Ebaka Games has confirmed it has secured certification from BMM Testlabs. This accreditation validates the fairness and integrity of its RNG (Random Number Generator) and game engines, removing a major barrier to entry for regulated markets. With this certification in hand, the studio plans to launch with a number of “major brands” in the coming year.

Management Commentary Vitalii Zalievskyi, CEO of Ebaka Games, commented on the studio’s unorthodox approach:

“It’s only been a few weeks since we first introduced Ebaka Games to the world. The feedback has been breathtaking, and it vindicates the decision for us to take a different path to the rest of the industry. You don’t need huge marketing budgets to grab people’s attention if you are building something truly innovative.”

Industry Backing The studio describes itself as being “created by players for players” but boasts significant industry firepower in its corner. The team includes Dmitry Belianin, a well-known figure in the sector who is the co-founder of Blask and Menace, as well as Managing Partner at Already Media.
