BMM Testlabs Receives Approval to Support Santa Fe’s New Online Gaming 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
BMM Testlabs operates alongside sister businesses within the BMM Innovation Group, including cybersecurity services (BIG Cyber) and the RG24seven virtual training arm, creating an integrated offering of product testing, cyber protection and compliance education for regulated markets. This combined approach helps regulators enforce technical standards while giving operators a clear pathway to market entry. BIG Cyber RG24seven
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.
