RNG fairness & game integrity

The statistical guarantee every game must carry

RNG fairness is the most harmonised dimension in our indexed corpus. Every market requires an independent lab certificate, statistical testing, and reproducible monitoring of randomness output. The UK\'s RTS 7, Ontario\'s Standards 4.26–4.27, Malta\'s technical directives and the US-state rulebooks all reference the same underlying test suites, GLI-19 for online gaming and GLI-33 for sports betting are the de-facto global standard even in markets that do not name them in statute.

The policy trend line

1

GLI-19 / GLI-33 is the shared grammar

The US states in our index, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, all cite GLI-19 (online gaming systems) and GLI-33 (sports betting) by name in their technical standards. European markets and Ontario converge on the same tests without naming the lab, the UK RTS 7, Malta's technical directives, and Ontario Standard 4.26 all reference statistical-testing batteries functionally identical to GLI-19. The grammar is convergent even when the sourcing is jurisdiction-specific.

2

RTP disclosure is universal

Every market requires the theoretical return-to-player to be disclosed per game. The presentation varies, game info screen (most markets), operator website aggregate (UK and Malta), pre-play pop-up (some European markets), but the underlying obligation is the same: the customer must be able to find the number before staking.

3

Ohio sports-only: ITL system certification, not RNG

Ohio is sports-only under ORC 3775 and does not authorise iCasino, so our index contains no RNG or theoretical-RTP rule for the Ohio corpus. The nearest fairness hook is OAC 3775-15-01, which requires sports gaming equipment and systems, including wagering engines, account platforms and geolocation subsystems, to be certified by an independent testing laboratory holding current OCCC certification before they reach production, and re-certified after any material change.

What to watch

Open questions and imminent changes that will shift the cells above. Each item is traceable to a regulator publication or indexed statute.

  • Ontario Standard 4.27 adds a monitoring-and-inspection obligation on top of the certification requirement, the operator must continuously monitor RNG output, not just certify once.

Frequently asked

Who certifies RNGs in iGaming?

Independent testing laboratories, the major ones being GLI (Gaming Laboratories International), BMM Testlabs and eCOGRA. US states require GLI-19 / GLI-33 certificates explicitly; European markets and Ontario require functionally equivalent statistical testing without always naming a specific lab. All certificates must be reproducible and available to the regulator on request.

Must the theoretical RTP be disclosed?

Yes, in every market we index. Presentation differs, game info screen, operator website, pre-play pop-up, but the obligation is universal.

Game design & in-game protections Spin durations, stake caps, autoplay bans, reality-check prompts and loss indicators. Data retention & record keeping How long wager logs, account events and game rounds must be retained.
